Are illegal immigrants and refugees protected by the Geneva conventions?

I won’t pretend to be well versed in immigration policy, but I am aware that the conditions in certain US detention centers along the US-Mexican boarder are awful. This made me wonder if people trying to enter the US illegally are entitled to the same protections afforded to POWs under the third convention and/or if the fourth convention would be applicable. I am aware that the US is not at war with Mexico, but aren’t we in a way at war with the cartels, who are at war with the US and Mexico? Aren’t there families who could claim that they are civilians who have been displaced by rising tensions between the warring entities? On another note, what about Syrian refugees, the US literally intervened in the Syrian civil war and therefore has some responsibility to the refugees that come to the US, right?

I hope that my question/s make sense. This is going to bother me until I know the answer.

Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
