That is incorrect. The Supreme Court has held (by a 7-2 vote) that expedited removal proceedings without a judicial hearing are constitutional, and do not violate the Suspension Clause relating to Habeas Corpus:
https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/19pdf/19-161...As I understand that ruling, it says that once a person has been adjudicated, by a judge, to have no legitimate claim for asylum, no further proceeding is needed to actually deport him.
The exceptions are notable because they are exceptions - instances where ICE is (wrongfully!) playing games with procedure to try to avoid ending up in front of a judge, and such instances almost always end up in front of a judge anyway (witness Kilmar Abrego).Indeed Kilmar Abrego is an exception because enough publicity was generated and legal representation offered in his case. There have been no more than a handful of Kilmar's, and for every one of them there have been a hundred thousand who have been illegally abducted and put in concentration camps, to be put on planes and disappeared from this country, treated like convicted criminals without anything resembling a "civil proceeding", because they couldn't generate the same publicity and legal support. They couldn't even make a phone call to tell their family they are being deported.
