Immigration courts have always been kangaroo courts. For example, there's no right to an attorney, and young children have been made to defend themselves against threat of deportation. That's not due process by any stretch of the imagination.

To say "there was no accidental deportation of people there legally" is completely absurd. Are you suggesting that not a single immigration court ever made a single mistake?

The "disservice to everyone" is you trying to whitewash the system and pretending that courts that require 6 year olds to defend themselves with no council is somehow a legitimate, fair system, just because the orange man wasn't the one in charge of it.

Here's John Oliver talking about it.
