Yes.
The 5th Amendment Due Process clause applies to the federal govt, and the 14th Amendment clause applies to the state/local govts.
5th: "nor shall any person ... be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law"
14th: "nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law"
