Those rights also apply to everyone who is on US soil, regardless of if they’re even here legally or not!
If they didn’t, they could just arbitrarily decide anyone doesn’t count for whatever reason (which is what they’re fucking doing and it’s illegal AF!!).
It is YOUR DUTY to not obey orders as such. Detainees are to go before a court. There is no exception. Abandon your post before disappearing someone.

They're supposed to apply to everyone not on US soil too, to be fair. The language is not "US citizens have rights" or "people on US soil have rights;" it's "Congress shall make no law violating rights" — there's absolutely nothing in it limiting who or where Congress shall make no laws for.
So yeah, the Bill of Rights applies just as much to (for example) uncontacted tribesmen on Andaman Island as it does to US citizens in Minnesota. And the fact that Congress doesn't have jurisdiction over Andaman Island isn't even the most important reason why.
