They all deserve rights. But what right was even violated? If I dump my company’s staff list to the Internet, I maybe broke a company policy, but it’s not infringing on rights, right?
That would be an obvious violation of equal protection and blatantly unconstitutional in a way that even our current SCOTUS wouldn’t support.
Now, they could define a terrorist in a way that any group or cause who protests in which such protest involves a certain amount of property damage, violence to persons or loss of human life counts as a terrorist group and it wouldn’t be hard to fit BLM and related terrorists under that flag over the 2020 summer protests (which I find interesting because one side likes to pretend that entire cities were burned to the ground and the other likes to pretend they were entirely peaceful and neither of those is true).
Everyone, no matter how horrible, deserves basic human rights. Otherwise they are not rights, they are privileges. Also, I would rather live in a world where we all have a right to food and water, even in prison, than one where prisoners die slowly and in agony because some cruel warden decides they don’t deserve it anymore.

Monkeys paw curls: Republicans are the ones who decide what a “terrorist” is (hint: it’s black people protesting)

Do you want another abu ghraib? Because this is exactly how we get it.

Having that conditioned on “proof” requires everybody to have rights, though. Otherwise, you risk removing rights from the wrong people.
