Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International Service: In an interview with NBC, he said in response to a question about whether he agreed with his Secretary of State Marco Rubio on this matter: "I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. I don't know. Such requirements mean that we have to hold 2 or 3 million trials."
These statements come while Marco Rubio had previously emphasized that all people on American soil are entitled to due process, according to which the government must issue the necessary notices and hold hearings before taking any serious action against illegal immigrants.
Trump further emphasized that his lawyers are closely following the Supreme Court's rulings.
Trump's remarks come as the US Supreme Court temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deporting a group of Venezuelan immigrants accused of being members of criminal gangs, citing the wartime "enemy alien" law.
The American Civil Liberties Union has also filed several petitions with the Supreme Court warning against deporting immigrants under this law without a judicial review of their cases.
Trump has previously signed executive orders to make it easier for immigration agents to arrest non-criminal immigrants and has asked other federal agencies to cooperate in this regard.
He also said in the interview that he may run for president in 2028, saying, "Trying to get a third term is not something I'm looking for. As far as I know, that's not possible." This is despite Trump having previously occasionally hinted at his desire to run for re-election. According to the 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution, no person can serve more than two terms as president.
