No, it wasn't. Habeas corpus is a limitation on unjust detention - the government can't imprison you without giving you at least one opportunity to get into court and have a judge see you and hear what's going on.
Probably time for Peter to learn some legal lessons. So I'm asking to learn, and not to disagree.
Were these people not detained and imprisoned before they were deported? If they weren't at least detained, how were they kept between the time they were picked up (presumably by ICE) and the time they were forced to board a plane to a destination they may or may not have known? If they weren't detained, they would be free to leave, right?
Or am I just using the wrong term?
