Fox’s Andy McCarthy Rebukes JD Vance Over Trump Deportation Strategy: ‘In the United States, We Have Due Process of Law’
Fox News contributor and conservative legal commentator Andy McCarthy rebuked Vice President JD Vance on Thursday over his defense of the Trump administration’s deportation strategy.
After first arguing that Vance was incorrect to characterize Judge James Boasberg as “radical left” — and even going so far as to submit that he’s “not a bad judge” and “certainly not a lunatic,” McCarthy was asked to react to Vance’s declaration that “We do not ask permission from far-left Democrats before we deport illegal immigrants. We do the American people’s business.”
“Well, I just think the politics is overwhelming the law here. No one is saying they can’t deport these people. Nobody is saying that. But in the United States, we have due process of law, right? When I prosecuted foreign terrorists, who all in the end ended up — or most of them — getting life sentences, I couldn’t say to the agent, ‘Go arrest them,’ and instead of bringing them to court, put them on a plane and take them to a third country,” submitted McCarthy. “You know, we have laws about how, you know, the process that you have to go through in order to obtain that outcome. And there’s two things the courts are very clear on here. One is the courts is going to defer to the political branches about who gets to be in this country and who doesn’t get to be in this county. They’re going to have a lot of running room on that. But you have comply with the due process. They’re very clear on that.”
