Background
Immigration has increased over the last years in the U.S. Measures have, as a result, been sought to curb the rising numbers. Strict measures have been instituted since President Trump took office in 2017. The debate, however, exists regarding the strictness of the immigration measures as regards due process and equal protection. Human rights activists, for example, have been against the detaining of immigrants for undefined periods. It is important to note that illegally crossing the U.S. border deems an individual an illegal alien. As such, the individual is detained and separated from any child or children accompanying the individual. The constitution under the Fourteenth Amendment focuses on equal protection as far as the law is concerned
