In his latest move to clamp down on illegal immigration and immigration more broadly, President Trump has filed a presidential action invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a seldom-used law that gives the president authority to detain or deport nationals of an enemy nation during wartime. It’s only the fourth time in American history a president has used the act — and the first since World War II.
Hoooly fuuuck!
You guys just lost ALL due process.
This is full on a Dictatorship now.
You guys have NO IDEA what just happened.
Seriously.
Wow!
America just fucked itself, and the world, in the ass.
We know. We never got rid of the electoral college, but we tried. It was only a matter of time, sadly. The fall of techno Rome has long been harkened. Land shouldn’t vote; people should.
Luckily it was stopped almost immediately, for now at least. We aren’t at war so this is not legal. Does the executive listen to the courts though? I think we’ll soon see.
It was slowed down.
It was not stopped.
explain more please
I was being serious but anyway I looked it up
big fucking ooph, this was used for Japanese internment camps in wwii ffs America
ICE is doing arrests on suspicion of immigration status. This act allows deportation without trial or hearing. Combine the two, and anyone can be ‘legally’ disappeared with no trial.
yea like that guy from Puerto Rico, just wtf
