D.L. Hughley believes that the nation has lost its moral compass if money is prioritized over due process, which is why the case of Abrego Garcia is significant. The conflict between Democrats and President Trump regarding Garcia’s alleged gang affiliation is not just about one individual, but about the Trump administration’s attempt to bypass legal procedures.
According to Hughley, the fight for due process is crucial for upholding the nation’s values. He argues that the recent Supreme Court ruling on deportations shows the urgency of the matter. He warns of a dangerous path where the president could act as judge and jury, particularly targeting Black and brown citizens.
While some suggest focusing on other issues like the economy, Hughley emphasizes that protecting due process is essential for the country’s integrity.
