O'Reilly indicated that Trump can do what I have outlined above.  Because
they have due process he can not legally mass deport them without their
case being heard.  They may be able to incarcerate them, I don't know, but
where would they put them?  There are laws and international agreements
about how you can treat incarcerated foreign nationals so it couldn't just
be in a field somewhere.

One thing O'Reilly did not mention is how Trump's administration could
influence the outcome of said trials, but they do have the right to a fair
trial.  I would also point out that I *think* they also share the right of
a speedy trial, which they currently are *not* getting.

So unless Trump decides to break the law, there will be no mass
deporations.  If he decides to break the law, that would set a bad
precident as the suspending of due process for these persons could open the
door for similar things being done to citizens.
