      If non-citizens don’t get due process, nobody does. All they have to do is claim you’re not a citizen and then good luck proving you are one without due process.

      But that’s the point. If he can do it to people here legally and the other branches don’t push back and/or he ignores judgements concerning it, then the laws start to become meaningless and he’s little less than a king. After that it’s a slippery slope to detaining citizens for speaking poorly about the government, it’s officials or Trump himself.
