There's something grimly ironic about Trump, whose criminal guilt was quite clear based on public information, managing to land in the White House rather than a prison cell thanks to dragging out Due Process, now handwaving process away and assuming the right to brand criminals by fiat.
In his case, after all, there were mountains of public facts establishing his guilt. Whereas the public has been provided no information meaningfully establishing that the people deported without process are really criminals, or even really aliens, never mind "terrorists."
There's an important distinction here: the laws that Trump is trying to use are broad and don't include much in the way of protections for the people they're being used against.
The reason this is so important is because we need to emphasize the need to fix those laws and stop continuing to pass other laws with similar grants of barely restrained authority.
