Quotes and Excerpts from Rajiv in the article:

“Trump's promise was that, ‘I'm going to deport all the criminals,’” said Rajiv Khanna, immigration lawyer based in Washington, D.C. with more than three decades of experience. “They didn't find very many criminals. So, then, they created criminals.”

“Even discretion has to be exercised according to legal principles,” said Khanna. “But here, the allegations themselves have become grounds for immigration action. That’s persecution, not prosecution. Due process is being hanged, shot, and then burned to death.”

Khanna pointed to the case of Kilmar Ábrego García—a Salvadoran man deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration in what it called an “administrative error.” “The government doesn’t have a leg to stand on,” he said. “The Supreme Court’s ruling in the Kilmar Ábrego Garcia case said that you have to give him due process.”

Khanna said, “There’s a parallel there. There’s a warning there for the government. What about due process for all these kids?”
