Absolutely - just as one/the Fed/the State cannot imprison indefinitely without trial or murder a non U.S. citizen (absent a state of War). They have unalienable rights that should be recognized.

But they are not citizens.

That was my point. ‘Treated like every other citizen’ is a faulty formulation because they are NOT citizens.

‘Treated with human dignity as a person’ would have gone without remark or criticism from me.
