Not a LawFag, just an anon
Was browsing post and ran into this one
Seems like a very odd law. Also seems like anyone that is a part of the Q movement could conceivably be prosecuted under this law, at least once trump left office.
did some digging, it was enacted in 1948, just after world war 2. Seems like odd timing.

However it was based off of another law that was passed in 1940, 1 year after the start of world war II.

Seems like even stranger timing. Dont know if there was another law before that but seems interesting.
The referenced law from 1940 also deals with deportation of illegal aliens.
