The Laken Riley Act raises serious due process concerns by allowing undocumented immigrants to be detained before being convicted or even charged with a crime. This represents a radical departure from established legal principles that protect the rights of the accused. While addressing public safety is important, depriving individuals of liberty without due process undermines fundamental constitutional protections and the rule of law. There must be a balance between enforcing immigration laws and upholding civil liberties. I urge you to consider these issues carefully and ensure any legislation adheres to constitutional guarantees of due process and equal protection under the law.
