Over the last month, the Trump administration has ramped up its promise to carry out "mass deportations." ... Since then, hundreds of international students across the country have had their student visas revoked for a variety of alleged infractions, ranging from traffic violations to pro-Palestinian speech. In mid-March, the administration also deported more than 200 Venezuelan immigrants -- many with active asylum cases before courts -- whom it alleges to be gang members to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador, pointing to the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 as justification for bypassing the usual due process of law. Among them was Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was unlawfully deported due to an "administrative error." Despite acknowledging the error and the Supreme Court ruling in favor of his return, the Trump administration has refused to bring Abrego Garcia back to the U.S.

They absolutely do NOT want so-called "illegal" immigrants to have the right to due process.
I don't know why this is so misunderstood.
Garcia had a "removal order", which means he went through due process. In fact he had a "withholding of removal" which IMO is insane, but allows one to defer removal.
The question is, a "WoR" is not permanent residence. When the "WoR" was ordered the country looked alot different. So how does a "WoR" get withdrawn? Who has this authority.
Withholding of removal also does not offer permanent protection or a path to permanent residence. If
conditions improve in a person's home country, the government can revoke withholding of removal and again
seek the person's deportation. This can occur even years after a person is granted protection.
