#1 Pechman said that as people who have entered the U.S. and been detained here, they are entitled to the Fifth Amendment’s due-process protections, including "a longstanding prohibition against indefinite civil detention with no opportunity to test its necessity."

If they haven't entered legally and are non-citizens and are free to leave the US at any time, this seems an enormous stretching of rights...

Perhaps the judges retirement funding could be used to fund any migrants so admitted.

#2 The nation-wide orders by a judge (shopped for in Seattle) should be disregarded

#3 SCOTUS creates these problems intentionally. It's fully within their own branch to direct any and all such suits to one judicial region and court. On the other hand, if your game is to operate for all intents and purposes as an aristocracy that is above the 'people' and expand your powers over them by undermining the precepts of a republic, it's all going to plan.

#6 Constitutional protections are for citizens, not invaders from a foreign country. Does the judge think we should extend U.S. Constitutional protections to everybody in the whole wide world? She's writing a check that nobody can cash.

#7 Simple. They can be released back into Mecxico at any time. They just have to ask.

#8 1) Matter of national security, not subject to the courts.

2) Political question, the courts should stay out of it.

3) Unless they're claiming to be oppressed in Mexico, they're claiming asylum in the wrong country. Send them back home, as they're economic migrants, not oppressed people fleeing for their lives.

4) If they come back, shoot them as invaders.
