Kim, I would add that it is not only US citizens who should not be deprived of due process because they might be perceived as being an enemy. Immigration status and deportation is one kind of issue, but, as I understand it, the presumption of innocence under the (criminal) law and many other rights apply to legal immigrants (including short-term visitors), as well. I.e., I don't believe it is Constitutionally permissible to incarcerate non-citizens who are here legally and hold them indefinitely without benefit of counsel, etc.

And, Amos, you said the magic words: Speak out!

Ever notice how talk radio is saturated with one rather narrow range of political opinion (and slant on the "facts") and both network and cable news are flooded with a slightly different, but still very narrow range of opinion (and slant)? Since the mega businesses who control our mass media won't encourage or provide a platform for fair, open, honest debate of important issues, anyone whose views are not represented in those "mainstream" channels has got to work even harder to have those views heard.
