A reminder about your rights. If the government can declare you to have an attribute that negates your rights, then you have no rights.
In laymen's terms, if ICE arrests you and fast deports you, whose going to stop them? Okay but you get to a consulate in the foreign country and get back home. When you come out of your lawyer's office (because you're suing ICE), ICE arrests you again, this time as a criminal illegal alien because you came back in. They tell no one they have you, they tell no one where you are. You have no rights according to them. You are sent to an El Salvadoran prison in contravention of a court order not to deport you.
These are all things that have happened separately. We've accidently deported Americans. We've deported Americans on purpose. (Trump sent American kids away so he could deport their parents too) We've deported someone to an El Salvadoran prison in contravention of a court order.
If they don't have rights, then neither do you because the government can just declare you a member of that group and as long as the guys with guns maintain that fiction, nobody can stop them.
Any time someone claims that some group of people should have no/reduced due process, I respond essentially the same way: "If you believe that $GROUP shouldn't have due process then you are a $GROUP_MEMBER. Prove you're not without any due process." Before this year, it was mostly people accused of sexual assault, but illegal immigrants are the new target of choice as people who allegedly don't deserve due process rights.
