Due process costs money, a lot of money.
El Salvador had to compromise on due process when they rounded up the gang members. When 1% of your population are murderous , violent, criminals who need to be locked up, there simply aren't enough judges or lawyers to give everyone full due process.
The West faces the exact same problem with illegals. We've allowed in literally tens of millions of violent, unproductive, people who need to be forced out, and fast. There aren't enough judges or lawyers on the planet to give every one of those people trials.
The compromise is some innocent people will be wronged. But overall it's the right compromise to make. Fighting violence and criminality at this scale is closer to fighting a war than it is a policing action.

I'm not
You mean the illegals? All of them? Do we finance the processessessesses through taxes?
If there is no due process, gov can claim anyone is an illegal alien and deport them to El salvador, even us-born Americans.
The problem is not the deportations, it's the rounding people up and sending them to prison based on unproven allegations.
“Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places,” Trump told President Nayib Bukele in the Oval Office, prompting laughter from administration officials seated nearby.
“It’s not big enough.”
They should house them at your house and in your neighborhood first.
Due process under the constitution of the US is for we the people of America. Not people who break in.
What if they claim that you are an illegal alien and in a single day deport you to do slave labor in El salvador without any chance of court appearance... Because you know.. you were not born here... Government says so. You cant even come back because you cannot get a visa, since you are.. you know.. a criminal.
Imagine that.
The constitution is not for citizens; it does not give us rights.
It's a limitation on the power of government. The importance of due process is spelled out in the constitution, which public officials swear an oath to uphold.
We really do not want those folks in the habit of ignoring due process.
They get 'due process'.
Are you a citizen? No.
Do you have a visa? No.
Do you even have a stamped passport? No.
Bye.
Is Mick a citizen? No (they can lie)
Does Mick have a visa (obviously not)
Do you even have a passport? (Most people don't).
Mick is deported to El Salvador and can't even come back to his own country because you are now a criminal and criminals can't get visas.
What is your working definition of a “citizen” then, just someone who happens to be living within a designated area? Or is there a due process for rights and responsibilities of belonging to a State, with all its pitfalls and benefits?
Deporting someone is one thing. Shipping them directly to a prison is something else.
You don't need due process to enforce immigration policy.
You do need due process to deprive a human being of liberty.
Yes.
No due process, no civil society.
