President Trump looking to utilize Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to conduct deportations
President Donald Trump is reportedly getting ready to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. This act would be invoked to facilitate the deportation of illegal aliens deemed dangerous to the United States. Illegal aliens involved with Tren de Aragua would be an example of aliens impacted by this order. Illegal aliens detained under this act would be deported to Guantanamo and would not have the normal procedures available to other illegal aliens.
From CBS News:
The 227-year-old law gives presidents the extraordinary power to order the arrest, detention and deportation of noncitizens who are 14 years or older and come from countries staging an “invasion or predatory incursion” of the U.S.
Mr. Trump is expected to cite the 18th-century statute to order the swift detention and deportation of suspected members of the Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang with prison origins that his administration has designated a foreign terrorist organization, said the sources, who requested anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.
Officials have made preparations to send suspected gang members to the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, soon after Mr. Trump invokes the Alien Enemies Act, two of the U.S. officials said. At Mr. Trump’s direction, officials have been detaining some migrants awaiting deportation at the naval base, though the holding facilities were left empty earlier this week.
Those subject to the Alien Enemies Act would not be allowed to have a court hearing or an asylum interview since they would be processed under an emergency, wartime authority — not immigration law. Instead, they would be eligible to be detained and deported, with little to no due process, under Title 50, the section of the U.S. code housing America’s war and defense laws.

Holy moley, gadzooks, heavens to betsy, gee willikers, well i’ll be a monkey’s unvle, don’t take any wooden nickels, well, I’m in like Flynn on this post but not the weekend biggie. See you later alligator, Going out for a ride in my jalopy and go like sixty.
Works for me.
Stand by for more DemocRAT hand wringing and gnashing of teeth over the absence of “due process”…..as if these non-citizen, invading trash are entitled to it.
Per Michael “Fatass Walrus” Moore: “you might be deporting the immigrant who will cure cancer someday!”
Laken Riley might have someday advanced in her career to be the person to contribute so such a feat, had she been allowed to live, thrive and remain protected in peace. But none of that matters to leftists — never has. Moore should stick to making highly edited, inaccurately portrayed, craaaaappppppy movies that push proven false narratives that gullible college kids everywhere gobble up like ducks in the park with breadcrumbs.
Load ‘em up and ship ‘em out. One way tickets for all.
Michael Moore-on is a bloviating asshole, and too stupid to know how stupid he is.
A man’s got to do what you got to do!
Good.
Do we have to provide the parachute too?
