>Trump: 1798 Law Dismantles Illegal Immigrants GET THE HELL OUT
tyb
The Alien Enemies Act of 1798 lets the president authorize citizens of enemy nations to be “apprehended, restrained, secured and removed” if they are deemed a threat to the US during wartime.
The act was last used following the Dec 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor, when Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered non-citizens from Japan, Germany and Italy to “preserve the peace towards the United States and to refrain from crime against the public safety, and from violating the laws of the United States and of the States and Territories thereof: and to refrain from actual hostility or giving information, aid or comfort to the enemies of the United States or interfering by word or deed with the defense of the United States or the political processes and public opinions thereof” — on pain of arrest, incarceration, or deportation.
The invocation of the act would, in theory, allow Trump to order summary deportation of illegal immigrants without first getting permission from an immigration judge.

The Alien Enemies Act, Explained
In the 1990s, they relied on the doctrine to dismiss claims that the Clinton administration was permitting a migration “invasion,” in violation of Article IV of the Constitution. And in other cases, the courts have held that the president’s recognition of a foreign government is binding on the judiciary. If the courts were to deploy the same reasoning here,it could allow the president to invoke the Alien Enemies Act based on a migrant “invasion” or “predatory incursion” perpetrated by a cartel alleged to be acting as a de facto foreign government.
