The problem isn't whether the Administration is wrong about TdA or whether these are terrible people who ought to be deported under the INA. It's the claim that none of these people have any access to the courts at all. Someone always has to double-check the state when they're locking people up, so that when the government makes a mistake (and they always will make at least one mistake, nobody's perfect) there's a legal pathway to make that claim to a judge.

Bear in mind that many of these guys are *already* under deportation orders for various reasons:

-Outstanding warrants
-They were caught and let go by some jurisdiction

I'm purposefully trying to stay away from the "it's okay because the feds said so" line of defense because I don't trust that the next democrat administration that comes in won't start declaring Americans it doesn't like terrorists and ship them to wherever, Bill of Rights be damned.

So I actually agree with you that "because they said so" doesn't fly.
