Thankfully, the writers of the 5th and 14th Amendments foresaw this and specifically chose to use "any person" instead of any citizen. [0] [1]

Ergo, all peoples within the United States are entitled to their due process.

This administration is welcome to push for a constitutional amendment to strip due process rights from non-citizens, if they'd like to change the law.

> I just don't like people taking advantage of the permissive immigration system in the US that me and so many others have benefited from.

That every American without native American heritage has.


If you skip over the trial (or other checks) portion, you can't be sure they aren't citizens. That's part of the point. That why you extend rights to everyone, so a political party can't use the excuse of "oh, it's ok, they weren't citizens".

Otherwise, it's it's a group of people collecting un-named people, deporting them, and them saying "trust us, we got it right".


> if this were citizens I'd be on your side.

How do you know they aren't?

There was no trial to determine that these people even have visas, it's just the accusations of the administration.

The admin is additionally working hard to try and shield who they are deporting.


So, foreign journalists should better be careful what they write or say?

Can foreign spouses of US activists be deported for being associated with them?

But yes, the current US administration is drifting into the same category as China or Russia.
