Upholding the rights of immigrants is important to us all. The fundamental constitutional protections of due process and equal protection embodied in our Constitution and Bill of Rights apply to every person and are not limited to citizens.
Immigrants are entitled to certain broad constitutional protections.
Due Process: The right to be treated fairly, whether in a deportation hearing or a criminal court proceeding, applies to every person within U.S. borders.
Equal Protection: Prohibits discrimination based on race or national origin.
Free Speech and Religious Freedom: These rights are protected under the First Amendment.
