For those who have been following the Venezuelan deportation story - if the face of an opposing court order (hello, constitutional crisis...):
From the NYT: "The Alien Enemies Act allows for summary deportations of people from countries at war with the United States. The law, best known for its role in the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, has been invoked three times in U.S. history — during the War of 1812, World War I and World War II"
Since when are we at war with Venezuela? If countries with gangs qualify, who are we NOT at war with?
In other words, any legal alien from just about any country with gangs (Palestinians, Mexicans, Columbians, Italians, Irish, Russians, Japanese, ....... New Yorkers,,,,) can now be deported without any judicial intervention (how many of the 200 Venezuelans were actually members of that gang???)
G'bye, Rule of Law. It was nice while it lasted.
