So if you are arguing they deserve some rights instead of the same rights as Americans than fair enough but then again how would you differentiate them and give them full jury trials from say a Chinese army invading who also technically fall under illegal aliens?
The fifth amendment already addresses this;
except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger;
This carve out was expanded on in legislation, namely the alien and enemies act which gives the president authority to remove the very people you are describing during the conditions you are describing (war or invasion). The problem is that neither of those things are happening but Trump just says it is the case anyway. It's a blatant lie that he's using as a pretext to do whatever he wants to whoever he wants, damn the law and constitution.
That is the heart of the issue here. This debate has honestly nothing to do with immigration, or even due process really. This is about an authoritarian dictator wannabe making a mockery out of the constitution as he pulls the US closer and closer to autocracy. The supreme court ruled 9-0 that he must facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return and Trump is just hand waiving it away, because in his mind his judgement is all that matters and anyone who says otherwise is a deep state cuck and an enemy of the state who must be eliminated. That's beyond dangerous.
The fall of American democracy won't be televised in some grand event. This is what political scientists call Democratic backsliding, it's the gradual degradation of all political norms till the people eventually give up on the idea altogether. We've seen this happen all over the world and you don't have to go far at all, Putin is a perfect example, Victor Orban is another one. This is what Trump is doing here, and for people like you to celebrate it goes to show that it's working. Democracy only works when it's defended, judging by the way you and so many others have bought into the cult, we're all fucked.
