the fact that there is no due process is alarming, yes, but we have to stop emphasizing that as the point of contention. the deportation itself is wrong. there is no justification for it, even WITH “meaningful process”
it is not only possible but extremely likely that the 22-year-olds running DOGE are not aware that all "digital storage" is in fact physical storage. their brains have not made the connection between the data they access and a physical hard drive located in space
