US judge says Trump can use Alien Enemies Act for deportations
region. The decision, issued on Tuesday, came after the Trump administration argued that the act gives the president broad powers to deport non-citizens who pose a threat to national security. The ruling has sparked controversy and raised concerns about the potential abuse of power. The Alien Enemies Act was passed during the Quasi-War with France and allows the president to detain and deport non-citizens from countries deemed as hostile to the United States. Critics argue that using this act to target individual non-citizens goes against the original intention of the law and could lead to discriminatory and unjust deportations. The case in Pennsylvania involved 18 individuals accused of being members of a Venezuelan gang known as "Los Rastrojos." The Trump administration argued that their involvement in violent and criminal activities posed a threat to national security, making them eligible for deportation under the Alien Enemies Act. The judge's ruling has sparked concerns about the potential expansion of the use of this act to target other non-citizens in the future. Civil rights groups have expressed their disappointment with the decision and fear that it could lead to the unjust deportation of innocent individuals. However, the Trump administration and its supporters see this ruling as a victory in their efforts to crack down on illegal immigration and protect national security. The case is expected to be appealed and the controversy surrounding the use of the Alien Enemies Act for deportation is likely to continue. This ruling serves as a reminder of the ongoing debate over immigration policies and the balance between national security and individual rights."
