The Trump administration is set to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a wartime law, to expedite mass deportations, according to multiple sources cited by CNN and CBS News. The move is expected to be announced as early as Friday through a presidential proclamation. The Alien Enemies Act, enacted in the 18th century, allows the president to detain and deport non-citizens aged 14 and older from countries deemed to be at war with or threatening the U.S. The Trump administration plans to use this authority to target members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, which has been designated as a foreign terrorist organization. The invocation of the Act would bypass traditional immigration court processes, enabling swift deportations without the usual due process, such as court hearings or asylum interviews, potentially to locations such as Guantanamo Bay. Legal experts have expressed concerns over the legality of using this wartime authority in the current context, suggesting it may face legal challenges.
