MSNBC LEGAL ANALYST BREAKS THE TRUTH TO MORNING JOE – ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE NOT OWED DUE PROCESS.
Democrat Media repeated this bullshit about due process for two weeks and never even bothered to look it up and study.
Guess what, Trump is right.

How much "Due Process" is Actually Due
Everyone is talking "Due Process" with these removals–but how much is actually "Due"? Danny Cevallos May 05, 2025Share this
A series of legal challenges are mounting against the Trump administration’s aggressive efforts to remove noncitizens, many of which allege violations of constitutional due process protections. Attorneys for the noncitizens in these cases argue that removals have been carried out without “due process.”
But what exactly is “due process” in this context? Everyone seems to be certain that everyone is entitled to it. Everyone seems pretty certain that it’s being denied.But does everyone clamoring for it actually know what “due process” would look like?
It turns out, not much.
For example, it seems really unfair that these detainees are removed from the country so quickly. But the time the government is giving them to file “habeas” petitions might be constitutionally adequate (a habeas petition is a legal means for these noncitizens to challenge their detention).Courts have upheld even shorter windows to file legal challenges under immigration statutes without finding a due process violation. For example, 8 U.S.C. § 1225 outlines the procedures for the inspection of aliens and includes provisions for the expedited removal of inadmissible aliens. Specifically, 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(1)(A)(i) permits certain noncitizens to be removed in as little as 24 hours after arrival. Under this law, immigration officers may summarily remove individuals who are inadmissible due to fraud or lack of valid documents, unless, of course, they seek asylum or express a fear of persecution. But the point is: § 1225 removals can occur with minimal process and within a single day, and the courts have upheld this timeline as constitutionally adequate. The government argues that if removal within 24 hours under § 1225 passes due process tests, then removal without a hearing under the AEA must pass the same tests too.
If people expect that folks like Kilmar Abrego Garcia, if returned to the U.S., will be entitled to a televised jury trial and a court-appointed defense team, then they will be similarly disappointed. There is no express statutory right to counsel under the AEA. There is no statutory right to a hearing under the AEA.
The government argues that the Alien Enemies Act explicitly authorizes the removal of enemy aliens without individualized hearings or procedures, especially during wartime or national security contexts.
According to the government, the Supreme Court in Ludecke v. Watkins, 335 U.S. 160 (1948), upheld this framework, finding that enemy aliens may be removed solely on the basis of executive determination under the AEA.
I’ve heard the argument that the few times in history the AEA was used was during an actual declared war. That’s a very good point. But is it a good enough point for the courts to intrude upon the executive branch’s determination that someone is an (1) Alien (2) Enemy? Maybe. Probably. We’ll know when that issue is resolved—probably at the Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, arguing that the AEA is old, or rarely used, is not a strong argument. The constitution is old. The 14th amendment is old. There’s nothing wrong with “old” legislation. Nor is the fact that the AEA is rarely used a strong argument. Seditious Conspiracy (18 U.S.C. § 2384) is a very rarely-charged crime, and yet, that statute was used in the prosecutions of members of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys for their roles in the January 6 Capitol attack.Statutes cannot be suspect just because they are old, or rarely used.
The AEA is not an immigration statute. According to the government, the constitutional protections for noncitizens in immigration proceedings (like due process hearings) do not apply under the AEA. Therefore, if no individual assessment or hearing is required before removal under the AEA, the government argues that there is no due process violation in not providing one.
Criminal defense attorneys will tell you that habeas petitions are rarely granted; they are often denied without a hearing. According to statistics, federal habeas petitions have about a 1-2% success rate. If due process required a hearing in every habeas petition, the federal courts would probably come to a grinding halt; one thing prisoners do is file a lot of (pro se) habeas petitions. The point is this: the promise of habeas relief isn’t much of a relief, at least not to criminal defense attorneys and their clients.
It seems that the only thing that a person removed under the AEA can challenge is his determination as an (1) Alien (2) Enemy. That’s not nothing. But it’s probably not much.

Columbia University cuts 180 staffers funded by federal grants revoked by Trump administration
The Trump administration pulled $400 million in federal funding from the campus in March.
May 6, 2025, 10:59 AM EDT By Mirna Alsharif and Meriam Bouarrouj
Columbia University announced Tuesday that it laid off 180 staff members working on federal grants impacted by the Trump administration's decision to revoke the university's funding.
The administration cut $400 million in federal funding from Columbia in March, accusing it of "inaction in the face of persistent harassment of Jewish students."It then issued a list of demands to the university, which it mostly acceded to, to start negotiations on restoring the funding.
The demands included banning students from wearing masks at protests, hiring campus security officers who can arrest students, and appointing a new senior vice provost to oversee the department of Middle East, South Asian, and African Studies.
The move to cut over 100 staff members was announced in a Tuesday =letter from top Columbia officials, including Acting President Claire Shipman and Provost Angela V. Olinto.In the letter, the officials said the university is "engaged in a two-pronged effort related to grants terminated by the federal government," which includes restoring partnerships with government agencies and adjusting or reducing spending in the meantime.
"Columbia’s leadership continues discussions with the federal government in support of resuming activity on these research awards and additional other awards that have remained active, but unpaid," the letter read. "We are working on and planning for every eventuality,but the strain in the meantime, financially and on our research mission, is intense."
University officials said that, as a result of thefinancial strain, 180 staff members "who have been working, in whole or in part, on impacted federal grants" received notices of termination or non-renewal on Tuesday. According to officials, they represent 20% of the staff funded by the grants that the Trump administration funded.
Also, due to financial strain, some schools and departments will wind down activity, and research infrastructure "will be running lighter footprints," according to the officials.
"We do not make these decisions lightly," the top officials said. "We are deeply committed, at Columbia, to the critical work of invention, innovation and discovery."
Last week, hundreds of Columbia University students, faculty, staff and alumni launched a 25-hour "speak out" to criticize school leaders for bowing to the Trump administration’s demands after it pulled the millions in federal funding.
Student David Guirgis, who was at the rally, called the administration's cuts "an all-out attack on science and academic freedom."
"We are pioneers in biomedical research, legal research, and environmental science research, and all of that got cut simply because the Trump administration had a vendetta against universities," he told NBC News.
Columbia "will continue to make prudent budget decisions," even in areas not impacted by federally funded research, to ensure the university's long-term financial stability," the officials said in the letter.This includes setting parameters across the university that ensure most salaries will not increase for the next fiscal year, programs to continue streamlining the university's workforce through attrition, and launching "a voluntary retirement incentive program."
"In the coming weeks and months, we will need to continue to take actions that preserve our financial flexibility and allow us to invest in areas that drive us forward," officials said. "This is a deeply challenging time across all higher education, and we are attempting to navigate through tremendous ambiguity with precision, which will be imperfect at times."
(Trump warned them daily during the campaign, did they think he was not serious? It’s not a good idea to fight with Trump when he’s trying to get rid of bias and racism.)

Really good chart tracking all EOs and Judges involved.
Tracking the lawsuits against Donald Trump’s executive actions
Last updated May 6, 2025, 1:10 PM
Dozens of lawsuits have been filed during President Donald Trump’s second administration. The suits challenge his executive orders as well as actions taken by his administration, including Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE. The courts have agreed to block the president in a number of cases, and the administration is seeking appeals as well.

Seriously and amazing amount if Judges appointed by Obama, pretty fishy. Trump only has about 10-15 of his judges ruling, and some of them ruled against Trump.

US Territory Ditches Billion-Dollar Climate Lawsuit Following Trump’s Blue State Crackdown
Audrey Streb May 5, 202512:30 PM ET
Puerto Rico withdrew its $1 billion climate lawsuit against the oil and gas industry on Friday following the Trump administration’s move to block two states from seeking legal damages for similar alleged environmental damages.
Filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico, the territory’s government said in the notice that it “voluntarily dismisses this entire case,” with no further elaboration as to why.President Donald Trump has repeatedly condemned state-level climate policies that impact domestic energy production, and on April 30, his Department of Justice (DOJ) filed two separate lawsuits against Hawaii and Michigan after both states considered filing similar complaints against the oil and gas industry.
“This dismissal adds to the growing momentum among federal and state courts holding that states and municipalities cannot use state laws to sue over climate change,” Theodore J. Boutrous, Jr. of Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher LLP, counsel for Chevron Corporation wrote in a statement provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation. “These claims are precluded and preempted by federal law and must be dismissed under clear U.S. Supreme Court precedent.”The notice to dismiss the suit was filed “without prejudice.”
The lawsuit, originally filed in July 2024 by Puerto Rico’s Secretary of Justice Domingo Emanuelli Hernández, alleged BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil and a number of other energy companies engaged in using unfair and dishonest trade practices by allegedly failing to provide warnings about the environmental risks of fossil fuel use, according to an E&E News translation.
Puerto Rico’s move to drop the case comes just days after the Trump administration took action against both Michigan and Hawaii, which had previously announced that they intended to sue the fossil fuel industry. The Trump administration claimed that the states were engaging in “extraordinary extraterritorial reach.”
Trump, taking a firm stance against state-led climate initiatives that may inhibit domestic energy production, signed an executive order on April 8 directing the attorney general to “identify all State and local laws, regulations, causes of action, policies, and practices” that might be “unconstitutional” or “burdening” energy production.
“An affordable and reliable domestic energy supply is essential to the national and economic security of the United States, as well as our foreign policy,” the order reads. “Simply put, Americans are better off when the United States is energy dominant.”
Hawaii filed its legal complaint against several large oil companies just hours after the DOJ filed its suit against the state. Hawaiian officials condemned the the DOJ’s lawsuit in a press release shared May 1.
“We have an obligation to the people of Hawaii, to do everything in our power to fight deceptive practices from these fossil fuel companies that erode Hawaii’s public health, natural resources and economy,” Hawaii Attorney General Lopez said in the release. “The federal lawsuit filed by the Justice Department attempts to block Hawaii from holding the fossil fuel industry responsible for deceptive conduct that caused climate change damage to Hawaii,” he continued.”
The American Energy Institute (AEI) sent a letter asking Republican Puerto Rico Gov. Jenniffer González-Colón to drop the lawsuit, which she inherited upon entering office, on April 25, writing that “climate lawfare threatens to derail your administration’s common-sense approach. The climate plaintiffs are advancing a fundamentally neocolonial agenda. They are steering Puerto Rico toward a ‘green’ energy future it did not choose — one that ignores the basic needs of its people, who simply require cheap and reliable electricity.”
“The American Energy Institute applauds the withdrawal of Puerto Rico’s climate lawsuit,” founder and CEO of AEI Jason Isaac wrote in a statement to the DCNF.
“This decisive step — taken shortly after our correspondence with Governor González-Colón — shows she’s putting Puerto Rico’s energy needs ahead of fringe climate ideology. By rejecting the alarmist lawfare agenda, the Governor is backing President Trump’s energy dominance strategy and standing up for affordable, reliable power for her constituents. It’s a big win for energy sanity and the people of Puerto Rico.”
The Puerto Rico Department of Justice did not immediately respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

NFL 2027 Draft Heading To Washington Announcement Turns Into A Trump Lovefest
PublishedMay 5, 2025 3:50 PM EDT1/2
It was admittedly a good news press conference, with the NFL awarding the 2027 NFL draft to Washington D.C. and the Washington Commanders right there in the Oval Office of the White House along with President Trump.
But as we listened to the announcement, the news of which had been leaked earlier by multiple media outlets, we saw something kind of striking.
Past Disagreements Cast Aside
• We saw D.C. Mayor Murial Bowser thank Trump.
• We saw NFL commissioner Roger Goodell thank Trump multiple times for multiple things.
• We saw Commanders managing partner Josh Harris gift Trump with an inscribed football and Commanders jersey, and call the Commander-In-Chief the "ultimate commander."
• Trump, meanwhile, told Harris he has "a very good quarterback, a great quarterback, I think."
•We also saw Trump self-deprecate. And call Harris a friend. And be humble about his role in getting the NFL a lot of money in Canada.
• There were a lot of smiles. Some chuckles. It was cool, all this amicable stuff.
Everyone Agreeable And Friendly
• And it was almost something not of this current hot, hostile political climate.
• "I don't think there's a better site anywhere in the world," Trump said of the draft landing in Washington.
• "Perfect site," Harris interjected.
• "You know, he's a friend of mine, he's a very successful guy, there's a reason for it," Trump said pointing to Harris.
• And then Harris, who disagrees with Trump on the name of his football team – because Trump as recently as two weeks ago said Redskins is a superior name than Commanders – gave Trump the jersey and football.
• No disagreement here, folks.
• "Not only are these announcements great for the NFL but they also advance the mission of making Washington D.C. safe and clean and beautiful," Trump said. "We're working very closely with the Mayor, which you know.
• "We've made a lot of improvements in the last few months. It's getting to look really strong. Crime is way down. There's a good relationship we have going with Muriel. So, I want to thank you very much and would you like to say a few words?"

President Trump announces 2027 NFL draft will be in Washington, D.C. — 5/5/2025

Trump And Bowser On Same Page
• The President offered the Mayor the mic and she seemed to genuinely appreciate it.
• "Thank you, Mr. President," Bowser said. "We are delighted to be here with the Washington Commanders, the NFL and the President to talk about this very exciting announcement for Washington D.C."
• Bowser said the NFL draft would fill hotel rooms, restaurants and bring Americans from all 50 states to visit the Nation's Capital.
• And this is where you must recall Bowser, a Democrat, has had her disagreements with Trump. This year alone, she's pushed back against the idea of the Federal government taking over the city. She's suggested the administration's request to clean up homeless camps around the White House and other areas is "working against our ability to invest in our city."
• And there was the very public disagreement about the painting of the BLM mural on one street during the first Trump term. Interestingly, that mural is gone now as Bowser, in announcing her shift away from it, said, "We're going to evolve."
• The President and the Mayor have apparently evolved into an attitude of finding common ground.
Goodell Thanks Trump Time And Again
• Well, Mr. President, thank you, we're honored to be here in the Oval Office and have you announce the 2027 NFL draft is a special treat," Goodell said. "So, thank you for your support."
• Goodell wasn't through. He's previously acknowledged to Trump his appreciation for enshrining the NFL's victory in the Canadian Supreme Court into the last trade deal between the countries.
• That arose in 2017, when Canada’s TV broadcast regulator decided to allow the U.S. feed of the Super Bowl, complete with commercials, to be simultaneously broadcast in the country. That was costing the NFL ad revenues.
• Goodell has thanked Trump for his support on the matter previously. And did so again on Monday.
• "We also, I want to thank you, because you helped us get in the Canadian trade deal," Goodell said. "We want to make sure we note that again …
• Trump interrupted, "they gave a great American company a lot of money that you deserved, frankly," Trump said.
• The 2027 draft is expected to draw "well over a million" people Goodell said, agreeing with Trump.
•Yeah, all this agreement and good will at the White House among past antagonists … pretty cool.
