Aliens who fall into this category are not afforded any due process rights, unless Congress chooses to grant them. Id.; Knauff, 338 U.S. at 544, 70 S.Ct. 309 (“Whatever the procedure authorized by Congress is, it is due process as far as an alien denied entry is concerned”).

While these individuals do not enjoy all the rights of citizens, their status entitles them to greater protection than other aliens. See, e.g., Landon v. Plasencia, 459 U.S. 21, 34, 103 S.Ct. 321, 74 L.Ed.2d 21 (1982) (<HOLDING>); Yick Wo v. Hopkins, 118 U.S. 356, 6 S.Ct.
