We are not at war. The Alien Enemies Act only allows deportation of male citizens of an enemy nation during wartime. Again, we are not at war, and certainly not with any Central American country. Only Congress can declare war. The Trump Regime's use of the Act is pretty weak and not legally sound, in my opinion. Of course Thomas and Alito dissent. They are unprincipled right wingers who would bend and break the law to fit their own radical ideology. The Trump Regime doesn't care about the law either, and only use it to cover their heinous policies. Hopefully this will stick and the policy will be stopped.
