Constitutionally speaking “due process second” is a bit like “I’ll put the condom on after.”

Why do we arrest people and put them in jail before trials? We already put due process second.

Because the police have provided plausible evidence before a judge that a person committed a crime. In the context of Trump’s remarks, he wants to skip even that step.

The perp is already in custody when bail hearings happen. Due process comes second. It is normal.

Most arrests happen after a warrant. From a judge.

Thus proving my point. When risk is low, you do the evidence part first. When risk is high, you mitigate risk first, do evidence second.

You arrest someone without a warrant when you have a crime in progress, or when you have probable cause, which is a really specific legal standard. You don't arrest someone because of high risk that they might commit a crime. The legal standards are really specific.
