There has never been a constitutional right for that to happen. Section 2241 is what we are talking about here. Congress wrote it. Congress has restricted habeas rights for illegal immigrants. Congress has restricted habeas rights of its own citizens numerous times because these petitions can get out of control and take over a courtroom. The question for this Congress is whether you. after 9/11. want to give enemy combatants detained at Guantanamo Bay who have been captured on the battlefield the unlimited right to go into any Federal court in this land and to sue over everything they can think of.
