“One ICE agent said if we let you see your clients, we would have to let all the attorneys see their clients, and imagine the chaos,” said another attorney who asked not to be named. “And I said to that person, yeah, you do have to let all the attorneys see their clients. You do have to accommodate that. That’s the Constitution. You chose to put them here. I didn't bring this guy here, you did."

Mind you, the 6th amendment guarantees the right to an attorney:

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

Any "trial" where you can get kept in jail until your court date, can be kicked out of the country for life, where you can't get a jury, where you get a "judge" who is an executive branch employee who gets fired if they rule in your favor, and where your don't get any chance meet with your lawyer is something that shouldn't be allowed by the constitution.
