Let me grant you your premise. Let's say that these are all actually terrorists with imminent plans to commit terror attacks.

This still is not how you do things.

For starters, if they are terrorists, then they should be locked up in our jails, not deported where they can continue to plan attacks.

But before we do that, shouldn't we have a trial? You know, the whole "innocent until proven guilty" thing? How do we know, for example, that this isn't just a case of mistaken identity? Or a zealous ICE agent? Heck, how do we know that this isn't some agent getting back at his girlfriend?

That's why we have courts and trials.

They are not terrorists. They are public supporters.

When you are welcomed at someone's house, you don't start going around by lecturing them on how to run their house.

They are free to support Hamas, just not in the US as students.

Doesn't sound very free. Nor legal.
