While I believe that we would all like to see the worst go first, you can't ignore other illegals you find just because they're not the worst.

I agree with most of this but be aware that Trump has and is currently removing judges that his administration believes are disloyal or not onboard the Trump Train.
He posted this on social media.

“We cannot give everyone a trial, because to do so would take, without exaggeration, 200 years," Trump posted on social media on Monday. "We would need hundreds of thousands of trials for the hundreds of thousands of Illegals we are sending out of the Country. Such a thing is not possible to do."
Not to mention that when appropriating funds for immigration enforcement in the OBBBA they allocated a minuscule sum for the judicial process and huge sums for the enforcement system. I have real doubts that the judicial side of the process was considered at all. Every thing I’ve read about the issue suggests that they wanted to make the process as extra judicial as possible.

H.R. 1 includes funding for the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR)—which oversees the country’s immigration court system—as an allowable expense under a lump sum of $3.3 billion to the Department of Justice (DOJ). It also limits the number of immigration judges to 800 starting on November 1, 2028. Given this limitation and that EOIR currently has about 700 immigration judges, only a portion of total is likely to be allocated to EOIR.
By providing only a relatively small additional sum to the immigration courts while significantly increasing funding for immigration arrests and detention, H.R. 1 will dramatically increase already high immigration court case backlogs particularly for people held in detention facilities. The bill’s cap on the number of immigration judges at 800 will severely restrict progress on backlog reduction. Immigrants held in detention could be forced to wait months between every hearing while immigrants proceeding in their cases outside of detention would face even longer wait times as judges were reassigned to detained dockets.
In Conclusion: The Trump administration is actively attempting to enforce an extrajudicial system for deporting anyone that they want to at anytime and for any reason. That’s my opinion at least.
