In the case of a citizen, you shouldn't just declare someone an enemy combatant. You may try to prove it, then act accordingly. Until you do he deserves all his constitutional rights. As an alternative you may also accept the suspect's word that he is fighting a war against the nation.
non-citizens still retain the rights given in the constitution. the constitution does not differentiate between citizen and non-citizen, but only says "people" and "persons".
I will be terribly disappointed if Cruz and Paul don't keep him in check.
