You really need to stop lying.

A lot of detainees were always legal. I spoke to an immigration lawyer who told me that most cases she gets are people getting grabbed off the street on false pretenses on their way to work, or people from communities that have been specifically targeted by Trump (ex: Iranians) and that her work is mostly getting to the first hearing in front of a judge and explaining the law and then they get released. Sounds simple right? Except that in the intervening time... detainees may be imprisoned FOR MONTHS in cells without medication, medical care, beds, adequate clothing or toileting aids, in climate conditions that are hard to bear; and as OP said, that detainees are not given legally-required access to getting the representation they need to prove that they are legal and have always been legal to stay in the USA.

If someone is legal but isn't allowed to call a lawyer and transfer money to pay said lawyer in time before you get summarily deported in defiance of all immigration laws... don't you think it's extremely unfair?

I speak with feeling because I am a foreigner too, and I've always been legally allowed to stay in the US. I know this will not stop a determined ICE from detaining me if they want to. It's just a lottery.

What's happening right now in the USA is a cruel xenophobic ouster of foreigners, and you, PP, shouldn't try to feel better about it by pretending to yourself that only the bad guys get the boot.
