Donald Trump said he did not know if people in the US deserved due legal process, which is guaranteed by the American constitution, as he blasted the judiciary for thwarting his plans to deport undocumented immigrants.
Trump made the comments in a wide-ranging interview with NBC aired on Sunday, in which he renewed his push to make Canada the 51st US state and insisted that he would not fire Jay Powell, the Federal Reserve chair, before his term ends in 2026.
Trump’s remarks on the rule of law in America come as his push to deport millions of undocumented immigrants — a cornerstone of his 2024 election campaign — is facing roadblocks in the courts, as individuals challenge their detentions and expulsions on constitutional grounds.
