The previous president renewed his call for using the Alien Enemies Act to achieve his unlawful immigrant imprisonment goals during his march at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.
” To expedite removal of Tren de Aragua, and another violent criminals like MS-13, which is extremely violent, I will summon the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. Think of that, that’s how much up — that’s when they had law and order. Some of them were difficult. The Alien Enemies Act of 1798, you hear that, Mr. Speaker? Get ready”, Trump said, telling House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA ) to prepare for him to invoke the law.
The law allows for” all natives, citizens, denizens, or subjects of the hostile state or federal, being of the age of fourteen years and upward, who shall be within the United States and not actually naturalized, shall be liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured, and removed as alien enemies”, provided that the state is at declared conflict with a state or “any war or predatory invasion is perpetrated, attempted, or threatened against the territory of the United States by any foreign country or government”. Additionally, the leader is required to declare an invasion or invasion.
The Alien Enemies Act has been invoked three days: during the War of 1812 for British citizens, during World War I for European, Austro-Hungarian, Ottoman, and Bulgarian citizens, and during World War II for European, Italian, and Chinese citizens.
Imprisonment is typically used when a nation or nation’s federal is at war with the United States, which could cause some issues if Trump were to impose the law on international gang members. If Trump and the Republican Party win the election next week, Congress could change the law to include international groups or make other changes to remove any legal obstacles.
