Where in the Constitution does it say that foreign nationals subverting the will and well being of the people of the United States are guaranteed protection?
That's just the thing. We haven't charged them with anything. If they're doing something illegal, by God let's put them in front of a judge (or tribunal or whatever), and get it over with. Just because we don't like them, or because they aren't very nice people doesn't mean we get to hold them indefinitely.

It's a constitutional principle that we don't imprison people without charging them with a crime. Remember, we're a democracy, not a tyrannical dictatorship.
