Due process can not be misused. It is our most fundamental right.

Without the guarantee of due process for everyone, all other rights are an illusion because those in power can violate them at will.

You are correct. I reread how due process is supposed to work and the fifth and fourteenth amendments clearly say that it applies to “persons” and not just citizens or legal immigrants or anything like that. The requirements are more relaxed for immigration courts though e.g you have to pay for your own lawyer etc
