During a segment on CNN NewsNight, anchor Abby Phillip confronted GOP analyst Scott Jennings about the lack of due process for migrants affected by President Trump's mass deportation policies. The debate intensified when Phillip challenged Jennings' distinction between U.S. citizens and others regarding legal rights, emphasizing that the law treats everyone equally when accused of crimes. The exchange highlighted differing views on immigration law and the complexities surrounding due process in the context of national security and public safety.
PHILLIP: The argument is...the law does not make a distinction between U.S. citizens and everybody else when it comes to being accused of crimes.
PHILLIP: So, Scott, isn't this exactly what we denounce other countries for doing? Not giving our citizens...the due process that they deserve?
JENNINGS: Well, I think that multiple things could be true...I delineate between American citizens and everyone else.
PHILLIP: On due process, that's not a distinction.
