You don't have a guarantee of due process even as a citizen in your own home. Multiple citizens have already been deported. If you don't even have to prove in court that someone is in the country illegally before deporting them then no one is safe.


I follow quite a bit of news on this from very anti-Trump, pro-immigration outlets and have not heard of actual citizens being deported yet, only legal permanent residents. Do you have any source, per chance?

Not that I would be surprised - given the lack of due process, it's easy to miss the fact that someone is actually a citizen. And of course, Trump has signed the unconstitutional executive order mandating that ICE should treat citizens that acquired their citizenship by jus soli be treated as non-citizens (if they were born on US soil to non-citizen parents) - so he clearly intends to deport some citizens.
