    That’s pretty much what he is doing.

    If undocumented don’t have due processes, then neither do citizens.

    All they have to do is call you an undocumented gang member and you won’t be able to prove otherwise, because there’s no due process.

      Except the Constitution does not say that you have to be a citizen to have a trial. And he was documentented. And he specifically wasn’t supposed to go back to El Salvador because of probable persecution. And the government would have known this if they were using anything other than a racist profile of what a gang member might look like as the basis for their actions.
