What the Fifth Amendment ProtectsDue Process Clause
------------------
No person shall be “deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”
This means ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) must follow fair procedures when detaining or deporting individuals.
Self-Incrimination Clause
---------------------
People cannot be forced to testify against themselves.
In immigration interviews, for example, individuals have the right not to answer questions that could incriminate them.
Takings Clause
--------------------
Property cannot be taken for public use without just compensation.
Less directly relevant to ICE, but still part of the amendment.
