Don’t Roll Your Eyes at Due Process

Last month a federal court of appeals judge made a startling assertion. “Nazis,” she said, “got better treatment under the Alien Enemies Act” than people suspected of being members of a Venezuelan gang.
You might think those words, spoken by Judge Patricia Millett, who sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, are hyperbolic, an example of shamefully politicized language coming from a partisan judge. But they are not.
