Immigration cases are either "clear and convincing" (likely in this case) or "preponderance of the evidence"

There's no evidence at this point that anyone denied him his day in court. He was detained four months ago after all. He only filed this action after he was told that he was scheduled to be on the next flight. There wasn't a "day in court" even scheduled until last Thursday (by which time he was likely already gone).

"Working on getting his citizenship" doesn't rebut the fact that he must have been in removal proceedings long before Trump took office. He likely WAS "working on" it - very possibly for many years.
