About this book

Book Summary

A revealing, news driven account of the Trump Administration's mass deportation program, featuring never-before-told stories and behind-the-scenes reporting from NBC News' Senior Homeland Security Correspondent.

In Undue Process, NBC's Senior Homeland Security correspondent Julia Ainsley takes us inside the Trump White House to expose how Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Tom Homan, and other virulently anti-immigration hardliners are executing the administration's mass deportation plan, seemingly prioritizing spectacle and punishment over security and legal constraints.

Brimming with revelations from sources within ICE and the Department of Homeland Security, Undue Process is a harrowing chronicle of how the Trump administration aimed to create a process "like Amazon Prime, but with human beings"—only to construct a dehumanizing, chaotic system that will be challenged in the courts for years to come.
