It has always been the case that if you are present in the country unlawfully, you are subject to detention and (after due process) deportation.

What "due process"?

Trump admin secretly deports nine individuals to Cameroon despite US court protections: Report

The Trump administration covertly deported nine individuals to Cameroon, even though many of them had U.S. court protections preventing such deportations, and none of them was from that African country, according to a report by the New York Times.

Many of these men and women sent to Cameroon on a flight from Alexandria, Louisiana, on 14 January did not know their destination until they were put on a Department of Homeland Security flight and placed in handcuffs and chains, the publication said, citing government documents and attorneys for the deportees.

As noted before, we are, increasingly, seeing how much USian "justice" and "rule of law" depends on the actors being people of good will, as it is apparent, there are holes in the laws large enough to fly a 747 full of brown people in chains through.

The people who are elected get to set policy, and as long as that policy isn't outside the Constitutional limits of government they have the right to do it.

The argument put forward by the defense in the second impeachment was, words to the effect: the President sets policy in the national interest, as he sees it. If he decides it is in the national interest to ignore an election, and stay in power, then it's OK to do so"

By resisting the legal dismantling of constitutional protections and democratic governance.

That gets you tagged as a "domestic terrorist".
