Professor Jennifer Koh Quoted in "The Bible Warns About Rulers Who Put Themselves Above the Law" -- Christianity Today

Professor Jennifer Lee Koh is quoted in the Christianity Today article, "The Bible Warns About Rulers Who Put Themselves Above the Law." The article considers the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, which the administration initially admitted was due to a legal error.

“It threatens the very basis of the constitutional order that our legal system is premised on,” said Jennifer Koh, a Pepperdine University law professor who has written about how Christianity intersects with immigration law.

“Nobody is arguing that, at the end of the day, the government cannot deport or enforce immigration laws against these individuals,” Koh said. “At a very base level, the Supreme Court has already said, there is some process that needs to happen so that evidence can be heard and the basis for their inclusion within the Alien Enemies Act can be assessed.”

The way the Trump administration is handling the legal fight so far gives the deeply concerning impression, Koh said, that “the laws and the processes and the protections of the law don’t mean anything at all.”
