Donald Trump invokes Alien Enemy Act of 1798 to speed up mass deportations; what it means for immigrants

President Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, claiming a Venezuelan gang invasion, to accelerate deportations of undocumented immigrants. A federal judge halted the deportation of five Venezuelans, prompting legal challenges. This act, used historically during wartime, grants the president significant powers but faces scrutiny when used outside wartime contexts.
