Micah Beckwith's Due Process Stance Ignites Public Outcry
Micah Beckwith Sparks Heated Debate on Due Process for Immigrants During a recent public event, politician Micah Beckwith ignited a contentious discussion by asserting that individuals, in the context of immigration, do not inherently possess the right to appear before a judge. His statements were met with immediate and vocal opposition from the audience. Beckwith, speaking into a microphone, claimed, "So due process is, in this situation, is are you here legally?" When challenged by an audience member who stated, "That isn't due process," Beckwith responded, "Yes it is." He further elaborated, "They don't have a right to see a judge." This comment drew audible gasps and shouts of "No!" from the crowd. In an attempt to support his argument, Beckwith posed a controversial analogy: "When the Japanese were bombing Pearl Harbor, did we give them due process?" This comparison was met with further strong reactions, including an expletive from an audience member. An audience member later questioned Beckwith, asking, "How many illegals have you brought into your house?" Another voice from the crowd interjected, "If you can't be quiet, you're welcome to leave." The event concluded with the debate unresolved, highlighting deeply divided opinions on immigration policy and legal rights.
