From Justice Sotomayor’s dissenting opinion today in Trump v. J.G.G.:

"The implication of the Government’s position is that not only noncitizens but also United States citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal. History is no stranger to such lawless regimes, but this Nation’s system of laws is designed to prevent, not enable, their rise."

Justice Sotomayor’s opinion was joined in full by Justice Kagan and Justice Jackson. Justice Barrett joined Sotomayor’s opinion in part, but not this part.
