Trump Set to Invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 for the Fourth Time in US History: Report

President Donald Trump will soon follow up his promise to implement a 1798 law to speed up the expulsion of illegal immigrants from America, according to a new report.
"I will invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to target and dismantle every migrant criminal network operating on American soil," he said during the presidential campaign, according to NPR.

"Those were the old days, when they had tough politicians," he also said en route to winning the race for the White House. "Think of that, 1798. Oh, it's a powerful act. You couldn't pass something like that today."

The act gives Trump the power to expel non-citizens during a time of national emergency. Trump could invoke it as soon as Friday, according to CNN. The Alien Enemies Act has been invoked three times in US history during World Wars I and II to detain or expel groups considered a threat.

Trump’s executive orders have laid the groundwork for invoking the Alien Enemies Act.
“I have determined that the current situation at the southern border qualifies as an invasion under Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution of the United States," an order said.

 

more from the article about how this has been in action since day 1. An alien invasion? Really? And congress accepts that definition to warrant what has always been a wartime power.

One of Trump’s Jan. 20 executive orders indicated the Alien Enemies Act would likely be imposed.

The order called on “the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall take all appropriate action, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to make operational preparations regarding the implementation of any decision I make to invoke the Alien Enemies Act," Trump wrote.

The order called for Trump’s Cabinet members to “prepare such facilities as necessary to expedite the removal of those who may be designated under this order.”

 

do you think we are being invaded and an act only used at time of war (3 times in the history of the country) is appropriate now? seriously?

she wasn't my gal

 

Tick tock. Hasn't been a bridge too far yet. What obscure executive powers are left for the stage to be set like for?
