Trump Invokes Alien Enemies Act to Deport Venezuelans

President Trump recently invoked the Alien Enemies Act to deport hundreds of Venezuelan nationals, claiming they are affiliated with the Tren de Aragua gang. This controversial move has drawn criticism from the American Immigration Lawyers Association, which argues that the act is unconstitutional. Reports emerged of Venezuelan detainees being forcibly sent to El Salvador, where they face incarceration in a notoriously violent prison. A federal judge attempted to block these deportations, ordering the administration to halt any deportation flights already in the air. Families of the detained express horror at the lack of due process, as many were unaware of the charges against them. The legal ramifications of Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act are currently being debated in court, highlighting concerns over executive overreach in immigration policy.
