The Supreme Court Has Long Held That The Alien Enemies Act Gives The President Plenary Power
By S. David Sultzer, Andrea Widburg
Several days ago, invoking the Alien Enemies Act (“AEA”), President Trump ordered that “250 Tren de Aragua members and 23 MS-13 members wanted for alleged crimes in El Salvador” be deported. The woke left, led by the Soros minions, immediately asked Judge James Boasberg of the US District Court in DC to stop it—and amazingly, he agreed via minimalist “minute orders.” Boasberg ignored Trump’s findings and ordered that the planes carrying the deportees (already en route to El Salvador) return to the US. This grotesquely wrong decision justifies impeachment.
The AEA is one of our nation’s oldest statutes, enacted in 1798, 11 years after America’s founding. Many of the same men who drafted the Constitution later drafted and approved the Act. It provides:
Whenever there is a declared war between the United States and any foreign nation or government, or any invasion or predatory incursion is perpetrated... against the territory of the United States by any foreign nation or government, and the President makes public proclamation of the event, all natives, citizens, denizens, or subjects of the hostile nation or government...who shall be within the United States and not actually naturalized, shall be liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured, and removed as alien enemies...
The left insists the Act can only be invoked in wartime and is subject to judicial review. The Supreme Court has already held that the left is wrong on both claims.
