Due process in the context of deportation refers to the legal rights and procedures the U.S. government must follow before removing (deporting) a person from the country. This principle is enshrined in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution and applies to all "persons," not just citizens.

At its core, due process requires that before an individual is deprived of life, liberty, or property, including the right to remain in the U.S., they must be given:

- Notice of the proceedings and the reasons for possible deportation: The person must be informed of the government's intentions and the legal basis for deportation.
- A fair hearing before an impartial judge: Non-citizens generally have the right to appear before an immigration judge to contest their removal, present evidence, and challenge the government's case.
- The opportunity to examine and challenge evidence: Individuals can see the evidence against them and present their own evidence or witnesses.
- A chance to appeal decisions: Adverse decisions can often be appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals, and sometimes to federal courts.[1][2][5]

Important limitations and exceptions:
- People in immigration proceedings do not have a constitutional right to a government-provided attorney, which means many must represent themselves if they cannot afford legal counsel.
- There are expedited removal procedures where some people can be deported quickly without a full hearing, especially for those apprehended near the border or shortly after entering the country. In these cases, seeking asylum or demonstrating a "credible fear" can trigger fuller due process protections.[2]
- Due process has been subject to policy changes and legal challenges"certain executive actions and court decisions can affect the scope and strength of these protections.[4][5]

Due process is a fundamental safeguard to ensure fair treatment and prevent arbitrary or wrongful deportation. It remains a critical issue in immigration law, with ongoing debates and legal battles about its exact scope and implementation.[3][5][1][4]
