BRZEZINSKI Senator I don ░░░░░░░░ know if I could ░░░░░░░░ you one more question ░░░░░░░░ know you re on ░░░░░░░░ tight timeline but I ░░░░░░░░ to ask you about ░░░░░░░░ you are so focused ░░░░░░░░ the case of this ░░░░░░░░ why you traveled to ░░░░░░░░ Salvador and back to ░░░░░░░░ issue of what has ░░░░░░░░ to all of these ░░░░░░░░ who have been sent ░░░░░░░░ this prison because the ░░░░░░░░ process of deportation the ░░░░░░░░ issues a notice to ░░░░░░░░ there s a formal ░░░░░░░░ in immigration court the ░░░░░░░░ involves that hearing where ░░░░░░░░ government must prove the ░░░░░░░░ is deportable Since that ░░░░░░░░ not happen in this ░░░░░░░░ and in many others ░░░░░░░░ happened to these people ░░░░░░░░ would you describe it ░░░░░░░░ s the term you ░░░░░░░░ use VAN HOLLEN I ░░░░░░░░ say they were illegally ░░░░░░░░ by U S government ░░░░░░░░ and then taken to ░░░░░░░░ prisons against the law ░░░░░░░░ the reason why it ░░░░░░░░ important to treat each ░░░░░░░░ these cases individually under ░░░░░░░░ law is because our ░░░░░░░░ requires due process before ░░░░░░░░ can be deprived of ░░░░░░░░ liberty In the case ░░░░░░░░ Abrego Garcia for example ░░░░░░░░ federal district court judge ░░░░░░░░ that the Trump Administration ░░░░░░░░ provided absolutely no evidence ░░░░░░░░ him to MS 13 ░░░░░░░░ is why I ve ░░░░░░░░ they need to put ░░░░░░░░ or shut up in ░░░░░░░░ and not just sort ░░░░░░░░ wage this campaign on ░░░░░░░░ media The whole reason ░░░░░░░░ have a constitution and ░░░░░░░░ process is to protect ░░░░░░░░ rights of the individual ░░░░░░░░ I think more and ░░░░░░░░ certainly libertarians and other ░░░░░░░░ who are actually looking ░░░░░░░░ the facts of this ░░░░░░░░ are very worried about ░░░░░░░░ idea that the government ░░░░░░░░ the United States can ░░░░░░░░ someone of their liberty ░░░░░░░░ them send them to ░░░░░░░░ Salvador without knowing where ░░░░░░░░ re going lock them ░░░░░░░░ a prison to do ░░░░░░░░ that without any due ░░░░░░░░ That is a scary ░░░░░░░░ And if you don ░░░░░░░░ fight for the constitutional ░░░░░░░░ of one person as ░░░░░░░░ say others can be ░░░░░░░░ BRZEZINSKI Hmm Abductions by ░░░░░░░░ U S government in ░░░░░░░░ Democratic Senator Chris Van ░░░░░░░░ of Maryland thank you ░░░░░░░░ much for coming on ░░░░░░░░ show this morning We ░░░░░░░░ it.”
