The Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 give the President War Time Powers which are different than peacetime Consitutional rights.
As an example, the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 were the reason many Japanese Americans were put in internment camps after Pearl Harbor was attacked December 7, 1941.
Not saying it was right, just using it as an example.
I actually think using the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 for KNOWN Terrorist Venezuelan Criminals is a far better use of the law than the internment camps were in 1941. The camps were a knee jerk reaction and filled with (partially justified) paranoia.
Getting rid of criminal terrorists is exactly what the laws were for.
Anyone who thinks flooding our nation with 15 million illegals in the last few years isn't an invasion hasn't been paying attention.
I mean... I get it but at the same time due process is what separates 'us' from 'them' - in that, we'll give them due process even if they wouldn't for us.
Violate a law in Venezuela as a tourist? You might get due process. Or you might get deported. You might could end up routing on a Caracas jail for an indefinite period of time.
The guy from Japan that got in a bar fight and assaulted someone? The Canadian with the DUI? The Irishman being served a subpoena?
Due process.
Terrorists? War time crimes?
Drumhead trials all around.
It's what helps define our civilization from the unwashed heathens.
I would think that due process should only be granted if they are disputing whether or not they are here illegally, like a case of mistaken identity or something.
Once their status is determined there should be no issue having them deported immediately. (I also think the home country should have to reimburse the US for the cost of deportation)
But, each person is entitled to due process according to SCOTUS.
I don't know why... they are not citizens. I guess I don't understand the law.

Hope that can work
