Favorite so far was the guy who was detained for 12 hours - was a citizen - and had no way to show or prove it because they had taken his wallet on the arrest.
Eventually someone checked the wallet he had and was like “oh shit, guess we won’t be deporting him then”. But they had lined up transport and locations by that point. And were deciding how to manage his possessions.

It’s not a legal process. It doesn’t involve courts.
You arrive at a border, show proof of citizenship, and they let you in.
It doesn’t even have to be a passport. It could be a state issued drivers license.

And if they don’t like the look of you, or your proof of citizenship, and decide detain and deport you - what recourse do you have?

He still thinks there are laws.
