Trump Admits Potential for Mistaken Deportations, Hints at Streamlining Removal Process

President Trump acknowledged the possibility of mistakenly deporting U.S. citizens, following criticism of his administration's immigration actions. He stated that perfection is unattainable when asked about the consequences.

This follows his comment about focusing on "homegrowns" and the controversial removal of green card holders and immigrants without due process. He also defended the individuals handling deportations, calling them "tough" and noting their illegal entry.

These remarks come amid judicial rebukes over the administration's lack of due process. A judge in Louisiana noted a U.S. citizen was deported with inadequate procedures. Removal proceedings have also begun for green card holders, including a Columbia graduate student.

A federal judge found probable cause to hold the administration in contempt for ignoring court orders. The Supreme Court is also weighing in on the use of an old law for deportations. Trump has suggested that due process is too slow and that his administration should have the authority to remove immigrants without trials.
