American Bar Association calls on federal government to ensure immigrants receive due process

The American Bar Association (ABA) responded to changes to the U.S. immigration system by President Donald Trump’s administration during its annual meeting.

The House of Delegates adopted Resolution 510 in response to current policies and practices in conflict with due process, including the denial of access to counsel, lack of meaningful notice and inability to challenge evidence.  The measure:

• Calls on the federal government to ensure noncitizens receive due process protections in all immigration proceedings, including those involving denial of entry, visa revocation, recission of lawful permanent residence and removal.

• Urges the federal government to affirm and protect noncitizens’ constitutional rights under the Fourth, Fifth and 14th Amendments.
