I got a banner that this had been invoked. I came here and found nothing. Then this. I’m not sure where we are right now, but this whole story is big.

We need all and as much of that kind of news we can possibly get.

Because the GOPers have a VERY well-established and well-developed media penetration. And the Dems are just starting to try to look to find their footing.

Trump & his administration ignored the courts order.
We have a lawless president who neither respects nor follows court orders. Ball's in our court now ... whacha gonna do about that?

FUCKING MEND!

I was just watching MTN breaking news that the fucking NAZI invoked that act. I hope the courts hold. It's the only defense we have now.

Please help me out here. . . .Am I correct?

Hardly anything is working the way it's supposed to work right now, of course, but fwiw...

... authorized the president to exercise defacto war powers during times of "emergency", and in other conditions. For instance, there was never a declaration of war during the Vietnam conflict. It was euphemistically termed a "police action" if I remember correctly.

WWII, again, if I remember correctly, was officially declared by congress. I think it was the last conflict that was conducted under a specific "declaration of war".

There is a concern that modern warfare cannot be conducted under the rules laid out in the 18th century when the constitution was written. But the Alien Enemies act was also written in the 18th century, so it may be that the understanding of the time, that is, a formal declaration of war, may hold.

We will see.

responsible if the planes don't turn around?
This is the test

It is a fucking nightmare of a Saturday night test.

I doubt they're watching the news, and they may not have been notified.

I’m adding a link to Just Security’s litigation tracker. It’s growing wearisome keeping up with all this. Which is by design.

...or any other word he wants to redefine. Regardless of what the Constitution may already say about it.

Way to go, dickweed!

If we want any rights at all, we need to know the law and when it's being abused by our own Department of Justice. #Insane.

Venezolanos, but apply to all deportations that are trying to use this.

This is an extremely dangerous act, that should have been repealed years ago for so many reasons.

FDR used it in WWII to put Japanese Americans in detentions camps

Will anyone already deported have to be brought back?

has kids + an american mate. hope she is back soon.

Saw the story tonight after a post by angry chair linked to the news about it from BumRushDaShow in the LBN forum. My husband and I discussed it at dinner. I told him I expected it to go to the courts, but I never imagined it would happen this fast and a ruling would happen this fast. This is great news!!!

added to the list.
Abuse of Power

Without direct access to all the lies that DOJ assumedly told or certainly withheld.
Thank you for posting and yes, thank you to all of the outstanding lawyers that are and have been the last line of defense for our democracy.

Keep 'em coming!

Is this the same thing?

Law experts fear that invoking the act would also open the door for targeting and deporting others, regardless of their status or criminal records. They give the example of how we put Japanese people in internment camps during WWII under that act and they were legal citizens. That's the issue at hand.
