I was a Border Patrol Agent for almost 30 years. I deported thousands of illegal aliens based solely on probable cause of illegal entry. No court hearing required.
I’m getting fuzzy on the details right now. Is it all gang members that were being sent to CECOT, or just MS-13?
Were the Tren de Aragua being sent back to Venezuela where Maduro trained them in prison, set them free, equipped them, and sent them into the US to wreak havoc?
And now has SCOTUS said we can’t deport any gang member at all without a court hearing?
Do we have to have a court hearing for all the people who are being deported simply for coming here illegally? Which would be even more than you ever had to do for the past 30 years? Since when did that ever change? If the 14th Amendment allowed “due process” to be done by border agents finding probable cause of illegal entry, then why does “due process” suddenly change to court proceedings?

And in that 30 years how many of those were more than 100 miles from the border and of a subject resident in the United States for more than two years?
Be serious. You are talking about apprehension in the 100 mile zone, something totally irrelevant to the Abrego case.

8 CFR 287.1
ยง 287.1 Definitions.(a)(1) External boundary. The term external boundary, as used in section 287(a)(3) of the Act, means the land boundaries and the territorial sea of the United States extending 12 nautical miles from the baselines of the United States determined in accordance with international law.
(2) Reasonable distance. The term reasonable distance, as used in section 287(a) (3) of the Act, means within 100 air miles from any external boundary of the United States or any shorter distance which may be fixed by the chief patrol agent for CBP, or the special agent in charge for ICE, or, so far as the power to board and search aircraft is concerned any distance fixed pursuant to paragraph (b) of this section.
(b) Reasonable distance; fixing by chief patrol agents and special agents in charge. In fixing distances not exceeding 100 air miles pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section, chief patrol agents and special agents in charge shall take into consideration topography, confluence of arteries of transportation leading from external boundaries, density of population, possible inconvenience to the traveling public, types of conveyances used, and reliable information as to movements of persons effecting illegal entry into the United States: Provided, That whenever in the opinion of a chief patrol agent or special agent in charge a distance in his or her sector or district of more than 100 air miles from any external boundary of the United States would because of unusual circumstances be reasonable, such chief patrol agent or special agent in charge shall forward a complete report with respect to the matter to the Commissioner of CBP, or the Assistant Secretary for ICE, as appropriate, who may, if he determines that such action is justified, declare such distance to be reasonable.
Deportation ceased to be a legal term in 1996. It is now removal.
