Applaud the Judge Defending Due Process for Immigrants

A federal judge has taken a powerful stand for the Constitution by ruling that the U.S. government violated due process when it deported Venezuelan men to a notorious prison in El Salvador without giving them a fair chance to defend themselves. Chief Judge James Boasberg made clear that no administration can strip people of their basic rights — even in the name of immigration enforcement.

The ruling affirms a fundamental principle: everyone deserves a meaningful opportunity to be heard before being punished or removed. By ordering the government to provide hearings or facilitate legal remedies, the court reinforced that due process is not optional and does not disappear at the border.

This decision protects human rights, upholds the rule of law, and sends a clear message that constitutional limits still matter. Add your name to applaud Judge Boasberg for standing up for due process, fairness, and the core values that define our justice system.
