Indiana Lt. Governor’s Claim on Due Process Contradicts U.S. Law, Says Legal Expert


Listen Later

At a recent town hall in Terre Haute, Indiana Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwith told attendees that undocumented immigrants “don’t have a right to see a judge,” a statement that contradicts decades of U.S. legal precedent. The comments come as Camp Atterbury, once a resettlement site for Afghan refugees, is converted into a detention center for immigrants. In today’s feature report, WFHB News speaks with Rachel Van Tyle, Director of Legal Services for Exodus Refugee Immigration, about what the Constitution actually says regarding due process for undocumented immigrants and how Beckwith’s remarks fit into broader shifts in U.S. immigration policy.
