Lawyers: Don't these detainees have a habeas corpus claim, which, as I understand it, compels the government to justify detention? Isn't this kind of situation the intended 'use case' for habeas?

I think it works differently for immigration.

The show Adam Ruins everything explains how minors of age that dont speak english dont have lawyers and go to court alone...

IANAL, but if ICE actually detained a U.S. citizen, wouldn't the citizen have the right to file a habeas petition regardless of the "immigration" nature of detention?

I'm sure the saavy dont get caught by ICE, but americans have been actually deported so maybe they are not encouraged or prevented from doing so. (if they dont get assigned a public defender for example).

but you would in practice need a lawyer to know about all that stuff and how to use it, which is the problem in the first place
