If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

The irony is not lost on me that signing up to freeze my credit with the three credit bureaus due to DOGE’s gross mishandling of PII has now exposed me to spamming by the credit bureaus themselves, who want to steer me toward loan products.
