Former President Trump is reportedly preparing to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a seldom-used wartime law, to expedite mass deportations of illegal immigrants. This move aims to fast-track the deportation process and specifically target individuals from nations deemed as enemies. Trump’s administration is expected to leverage this controversial legislation to circumvent standard immigration protocols and potentially detain individuals, including gang members, under this wartime authority. Critics are raising concerns about the implications of using such an archaic law for contemporary immigration issues, while lawmakers are even seeking to repeal it amid fears of abuse.
