He is also claiming the right to do it in a way which would probably prevent a US citizen caught up accidentally getting relief through the courts.
That depends on what happens with them after they get deported. If they are set free in some foreign country, they can literally buy a plane ticket and come back here. Sure, they will not get a relief that will prevent them from getting detained and removed from the country in the first place, but I don’t see how this is relevant. It is perfectly normal and common to be able to get any relief only after illegal action of government has already been inflicted upon you. It really is not substantially different than getting illegally arrested and jailed: the government needs to take utmost care to avoid doing it, but when you are getting arrested, you cannot get court relief right there and then.

This is true, but it’s also true that calling your recruiters to check up on status often does make a difference, and usually expedites the entire process. As anyone who has ever worked in any large company, pinging people regularly to update their status and nudge them towards doing or accelerating the work they owe you, is in fact a significant part of your work, and does make a difference. Recruiters/HR is no different, and pushing them does work.
Falsely claiming that you’re a US citizen to an ICE agent conducting a raid is a federal felony (18 U.S.C. § 1001). I suspect that ICE will have enough circumstantial evidence to support a reasonable belief that you’re lying, which will allow them to arrest you, and unless you help them in their investigation, you’ll be sitting in jail until they do in fact determine you lied. This is limited by detention capactity, of course.
