Hillary Clinton on Monday urged a packed crowd at Oxford University to "defend democracy" and slammed President Donald Trump's comments on due process.
"Today, the American president tweeted there should be no judicial process, there should be no due process for anyone who crosses the border," Clinton said at Oxford University’s annual Romanes Lectures. "I can't help but think, if you strip immigrants and asylum seekers of due process and judicial review, who is next?"
Trump on Sunday called for seizing and returning illegal immigrants in the United States, "with no judges and no court cases."
The White House on Monday doubled down on his comments, with White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders insisting, "just because you don't see a judge doesn't mean you're not seeing due process."
Clinton, the former 2016 Democratic presidential nominee and Secretary of State under former President Barack Obama, on Monday also urged students to become "effective activists" and "problem solvers" and said "the survival of our democratic institutions is up to each generation."
She also ripped Vladimir Putin, saying the Russian president has "positioned himself as a leader of an authoritarian, white supremacist, and xenophobic movement that wants to break up the EU and NATO, weaken America's and the Atlantic's alliances that have traditionally have served us well, and undermine democracy anywhere and everywhere they can."
