What do you think of the Trump administration ignoring the Fifth Amendment when it comes to immigrants?

@Patriot96 I'm not getting paid to do research on statutes and executive orders, but off the top of my head, I'd say Art I, sec. 9 (foreign emoluments), plus the 1st, 4th, 5th and 14th Amendments. With a little digging, probably the Sixth and Eighth, and incredibly enough, the 3rd Amendment might even see some action.
Obviously, that's for the Administration. Trump was convicted of breaking laws before he took office the 2nd time.

@MistyCee You can't name any because he hasn't broken any laws regarding this situation. The hollow claims you make are just that, hollow, without merit and are now just BS leftist talking points. Newsflash...no one is listening any longer. The lies are no longer accepted as fact within the ranks of normal free thinking people. They are of course accepted as gospel truth only within the ranks of the looney left.
@carpediem This situation, as in ignoring the 14th Amendment when it comes to immigrants?
OP just gave you a page full of cites indicating that "persons", including aliens, are entitled to due process under the 14th Amendment.
Of course, those might all have been "loony left" judges over the past two centuries, and they may not have correctly interpreted the plain text so as to allow for Herr Trump's absolute executive supremacy.
It is quite possible that, out of fear, greed, or other motivation, six Justices will decide that the 14th Amendment doesn't mean what it says, or that it says something other than what we've thought it meant since it was written.
And if it does, maybe Trump didn't break any laws. Or maybe, they'll finally come out and say, "if the President does it, it can't be illegal."
Until then, though, I'm sticking with the "radical left" concept that the Constitution guarantees due process to all persons, and not just MAGA followers.

Also If a judge issues a final order of removal, ICE is responsible for executing the deportation. Many of the current deportees have been issued orders already. Capturing illegals and sending them to a processing center is also valid (Alligator Alcatraz). But you are correct, judges have made the horrid acts of open borders very difficult. This is the EXACT reason to NEVER elect another democrat into the presidency. Thanks for making that so clear. They don't follow the immigration laws.
Also, your referral to Trump as Hitler did not go unnoticed

Not when the Alien Enemies Act is invoked as it is for certain illegals. Maybe you forgot about that.Also If a judge issues a final order of removal, ICE is responsible for executing the deportation.
