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.
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
