For those who're in the US, the courts can stop the government. The ones more at risk are non-citizens who are abroad.

If you have enough money to hire lawyers or can figure out how to get in contact with a law firm willing to work with you for the exposure, sure.

If you aren’t lucky enough, you’re just screwed.

  • It's not that bad because once the court ultimately makes a general ruling, not merely in favor of an individual, but against a federal policy, the ruling can apply to everyone, not just to that one individual. Granted, the government could still ignore the court's order.

This government and its supporters would say - Due process isn't applicable to everyone in the US especially who they perceive as being "illegal immigrant".
