In the ruling, Justice Antonin Scalia wrote “it is well established that the Fifth Amendment entitles aliens to due process of law in deportation proceedings.”
[A]ll persons within the territory of the United States are entitled to the protection guarantied by those amendments, and that even aliens shall not be held to answer for a capital or other infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.
"Just because you don't see a judge doesn't mean you don't receive due process," press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said during Monday's press briefing.
Her remarks came in response to criticism of a tweet from Trump in which he said people who illegally cross the border should be removed "with no Judges or Court Cases.
"The president would like to see us stop people from illegally entering the country at all," Sanders said. "The president would like us to secure the borders and have a very legal and easy immigration process so people can come here the right way."

Plus, by stopping them trying to cross the border, is that considered in America? I mean, it probably is, not sure how it works in that constitution-free zone within 100 miles of the border. If they want an immigration hearing, they could go to a US embassy. It'd be safer and they wouldn't get separated from their kids.

Every legal US citizen is protected by the Constitution
All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
