It is just a hunch. I simply distrust the guy. You should too. Take this as an outside perspective. Trump all the way.

American law is never really "set". There are parts that are supposed to be practically unquestionable- such as the Bill of Rights. And yet.... all it takes is a few activist judges appointed by the right shit-starter and all of a sudden even the basics are in question. But for most of the laws, title codes are set but precedence can be introduced at trial that can swing something 180 degrees from where it was. At one time, only legal citizens shared in the rights of a US citizen. This was the point of citizenship. Other people might have some rights to trial when dealing with an American company. This has all been slowly, quietly expanded. At one time the rights mentioned in the Constitution only applied to white males who owned property. I'm not sure that was a bad plan. Criminal law is almost always state law. Which is why the federal death penalty has come and gone over the decades. If the feds come after you, it boils down to money. Usually lots of it.
No, knowing locations and issuing court dates does not make their stay legal.

I'm listening Jovan, but Desantis has been pretty consistent and firm on his policies. Maybe he's another Trojan horse like Trump; a figurehead to vilify conservatives? I don't know what the hell is going on anymore.

Without having any practical knowledge of the Constitution of the United States, it does seem clear that some rights are given to "any person" person, not just citizens. Otherwise, theoretically, anyone could do anything to non-citizens. That said, the suit filed was absurd when it tried to equate being on a plane with deprivation of liberty because people could not get off.
14th Amendment
Section 1
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Some of the other amendments are more open to interpretation. Who are "the people"; compare with "We the People of the United States....". If I am legally in the United States as a tourist am I protected from unreasonable search or not?
Fourth Amendment
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Interestingly, the Constitution provides a number of protections to ensure that citizens cannot be denied their right to vote, but does not appear to state that only citizens can vote. I presume this is covered by Federal or State laws?

The evidence - Steve Kirsch's newsletter
A short collection of key pieces of evidence showing the COVID vaccines are not "safe and effective." Not even close. They are the most deadly vaccines we've ever produced.

What do you mean by this?

The idea of someone being "our guy" is such a stupid idea that only people on the right have it. It inevitably devolves to a purity spiral where anything anyone can do falls outside some mythical ideal of "the perfect politician who is 100% in agreement with what I want" The only person who satisfies that criteria is found in the mirror.
Viewing Desantis as a binary "good or bad" is a hopelessly low fidelity way of viewing a politician. He moves the overton window >0 in the right direction. Individual policies and statements are what they are, single data points.

It's not that Trump has all of a sudden regained our trust; he probably won't do anything real, but at least we can count on him to talk.
We have seen hundreds (if not thousands) of "Republican" ivy league politician-lawyers with non-combat military service, like Desantis, who play a hero to get elected, then become Dan Crenshaw when it matters.
