Adams Defies Constitution: Undocumented Immigrants Denied Due Process
Mayor Adams wrongly claimed undocumented immigrants lack constitutional due process rights, a statement refuted by legal experts who confirmed that the Constitution generally applies to all within U.S. borders. His assertion followed calls for immediate deportation of undocumented criminals, even before trial, and a desire to weaken the city’s sanctuary policies. This stance drew sharp criticism from immigrant advocates and public officials who accused him of fear-mongering and scapegoating migrants. Despite the city’s significant financial investment in supporting recent migrants, Adams maintains his position and seeks collaboration with Trump administration figures on stricter immigration enforcement.
