The US Constitution says
Any person dude, that means every human being in the US gets due process including criminals, "illegal aliens" etc etc. In fact, if you remove the scare words from sunstroke's post, that's exactly what the judge is saying.
Need to see what SCOTUS has ruled??
Here's a bit more from Mathews v. Diaz 1976 including citations of prior rulings.
Even one whose presence in this country is unlawful, involuntary, or transitory is entitled to that constitutional protection.
Thank you, SCOTUS for being clear, unambiguous, and leaving zero wiggle room.
... nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law ...

Shaughnessy v. United States ex rel. Mezei, 345 U.S. 206, 212 (1953); see also Mathews v. Diaz, 426 U.S. 67, 77 (1976) ("There are literally millions of aliens within the jurisdiction of the United States.

Doe, 457 U.S. 202, 215 (1982) (holding that unlawfully present aliens were entitled to both due process and equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment).
