"He is expected to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, as USA TODAY previously reported. It would be the first time in more than eight decades that the act was enacted. The last time it was used resulted in the internment of Japanese and German people during World War II, a chapter of U.S. history widely seen as problematic."
It was also used during WW1.
Just take the L mouth breather.
You’re a moron. I know what he did. You didn’t quote the Alien Enemies Act (which did not expire), you quoted An Act Concerning Aliens (also known as the Aliens Friends Act). Notice how they have different names because they refer to different things? It expired in 1800 and has not been used since. You did this in post #74 of this thread. Everybody can read your post, spend 4 seconds on Google, and know your argument is wrong and that you have literally zero knowledge about the legalities of immigration and deportation.
Take the L, bigot.
The act in question has been used multiple times AFTER 1800.
The USA Today confirms this in link I provided.
There's multiple acts in this vein and they all have the same purpose.
The first one I quoted was in correct but the 2nd was the correct text and it was used in Ww1 and ww2.
So let's look at this. First, they entered our country illegally by breaking Title 8, US Code 1325. They have very limited rights according to Section 292, Immigration and Naturalization Act. And according to this act, due process only applies to major criminal activity, such as, murder, etc and they can afford an attorney. Also, they are being deported also under Zadvydas vs Davis 533 U.S. 678, as a danger to society. I think the administration is using everything at their disposal to get rid of the illegal criminals. If you want them to stay, pay for their lawyers. I have a retired Army friend that works for a rancher along the border. That rancher has had over $250k damage to his ranch, besides having his son shot by illegals crossing their land. I would rather have them out of our country than have my taxpayer money funding their incarceration.
What the f*ck are you even talking about? Where was I wrong? I didn’t try to justify Trump’s actions and claim the courts would agree to enforce an act that expired more than 200 years ago.
Simple question: is the text you quoted in post 74 from the Alien Enemies Act of 1798?
p.s. I call you a bigot because you are. You call me a pedo because you’re a juvenile that’s getting spanked in public and are lashing out. You know you’re wrong, so resort to name calling. It’s 100% pathetic and 200% predictable.
You call me a bigot because I don't support transitioning minors.
I call you a pedo because you have an unhealthy obsession with childrens' genitals.

You remain an imbecile.
So you quoted the wrong act (because you had no idea there were more than one) and it's taken me telling you 30 times before you realize it, and I'm the imbecile?
There were multiple related acts passed in the late 1700s. Only one didn't expire. It lays out specific situations where it's applicable, none of which are relevant to the current situation.

The only one mentioning children's genitals is you. Most people would understand that to mean you're the one with the unhealthy obsession.

Supreme Court: "aliens who have once passed through our gates, even illegally, may be expelled only after proceedings conforming to traditional standards of fairness encompassed in due process of law."
The courts will ultimately decide whether Trump can or cannot deport whomever they want without due process under the Aliens Enemy Act of 1798. Whether she should be able to do that is not up for debate.
Trump sent Jerce Reyes Barrios to El Salvador. Barrios was a professional soccer player in Venezuela. He demonstrated against the Maduro government and was detained and tortured (electric shock, suffocation). He fled Venezuela and followed to a "t" the legal procedures for presenting himself at the US boarder to claim asylum. He was initially placed in maximum security based on a tattoo and social media post that were believed to be indications of membership in Tren de Argua. His attorney presented multiple letters confirming his employment as professional soccer player and that he had no criminal record. His attorney also showed that the tattoo was based on the Real Madrid logo, his favorite soccer team. The social media post was nothing more than Barrios "throwing horns". It is not a Tren de Argua gang hand gesture. Based on this evidence, DHS released Barrios from maximum security and awaited his April 17, 2025 final hearing on his claim.
Then, he was plucked from the Otay Mesa detention center without notice and sent to Texas, where he was put on a flight to El Salvador. He is now being held indefinitely in an El Salvadoran prison that is know for torture, slave labor and allows no outside access to prisoners.
Barrios did not cross the border illegally. He followed the procedures for claiming asylum and was allowed into the US by CBP. He was not running around with Tren de Argua committing crimes. He was held the entire time in a detention facility awaiting his asylum hearing. He has a legitimate claim for asylum and was not just an economic migrant. He was a professional soccer player and made a good living. He protested against Maduro, which puts him in line politically with the Trump administration's stance on Maduro. He was tortured by the government and feared for his life. US asylum laws allow people to seek asylum if they have been persecuted for their political opinions.
Even if you think that Barrios should have been deported and his asylum claim was BS, at least if he was deported in the normal course he would have had a chance to seek asylum in another country. Now he is in an El Salvadoran prison with no rights and may never be released.
NEW! Sworn declarations filed last night confirm the Trump admin sent INNOCENT people to rot in prison El Salvador, including a professional soccer player tortured by the Maduro regime who entered this country LEGALLY to seek asylum and has NO CRIMINAL RECORD in either country. https://t.co/KXlZWXqwB2pic.twitter.com/SHGiOmDp8B

I provided the correct text from the correct act like 10 minutes after the first one a day you're still whining about it despite it being completely irrelevant.
Trump contends that Venezuela is releasing prisoners and sending them to the US.
If Maduro is doing this the act 100% applies to the current situation.
And you don't even know who Maduro is or where Venezuela is so we can skip the part where you mindlessly declare it's not happening.

If a President doesn’t have the right to throw murderers, and other criminals, out of our Country because a Radical Left Lunatic Judge wants to assume the role of President, then our Country is in very big trouble, and destined to fail!
Who has determined they committed any crime? Was there a trial I missed?
There are allegations that some of the folks deported were here legally and others that they were not affiliated with any gang (tattoos were thought to be gang related and are not).
There is a legal way to get people out of the country, but Trump and his cabinet heads seem to have no interest in pesky due process. Here is a what if: what if Biden had just tossed Trump in prison or had him taken to Gitmo for having the documents at Mar-a-lago? No trial...just put him on a plane? He had not been convicted of a crime (and seems certainly guilty of many related to the documents and refusal to obey a court order). But yet he put national security at risk,

Anyone accused of breaking the law is entitled to due process. We even see that with a criminal President.
Trump never broke the law. He was exonerated.
Exonerated does not mean what you think it means...
Exoneration is when a person is found guilty of a crime and then later found innocent. We see this in rape and murder cases from time to time (far too often).
On the major charges involving the documents, he was never tried thanks to incompetence by Merrick Garland and somewhat by a judge Trump appointed.
A hearing in front of a judge to determine the facts of whether or not they are in fact here illegally.
The government cannot skip that step. Otherwise the government could deport anyone, even citizens, because they wouldn’t get the opportunity to prove they are American.
I'm pretty sure these people already have Orders for Removal which are issued by the court.
ICE can't just pick a name and go get them.
Well then let's see the orders of removal. It seems if that were the case ICE would be showing them. But I suspect they did not exist at the time.

There’s no concern or desire from this administration to treat people with fairness or humanity.
There’s no evidence that Barrios did anything wrong. He tried to escape the dystopia of the Maduro government and find a better life in a place that styles itself as the land of the free, only to be cast out into a living hell on earth.

If you go through 7 countries before you get to the US you aren't an asylum seeker you're an economic migrant gaming the system .
Hey look, a new rule that’s just been made up to be applied to someone who followed the regulations of the United States and is not in hell on earth through no fault of their own.
When confronted with a case that is objectively horrible that might make a reasonable person question their beliefs and values, you have the ability to conjure up something out of your imagination that negates any self-introspection.
”This person was tortured by the Maduro government and applied for asylum as is set out in our laws, but the Trump government carelessly and wrongly labeled him a gang member because of a Real Madrid tattoo and shipped him to an inhumane prison in El Salvador.”
You: he should have just stopped in Colombia. He deserves to be miserable for the rest of his life, or die.
”COVID killed many healthy people. I personally know of a 30 year old who went from healthy to dead within a week.”
You: no, I know better, there was some underlying condition because it’s just not possible that I’m wrong about anything.
