I like Reason but I think they swung and missed with this. Deporting is a hell of a lot different than internment camps. If you came here illegally you already broke the law and a day in court wont save you. The court system is backlogged with people who did the right thing and even though who crossed illegally but turned themselves in to claim asylum. Those deported are not in that group
But is that what its really to be used for? are they invading? are we at war with the country? Politicians always think of a reason to use emergency powers. That's what we saw during covid as they stomped peoples freedom of assembly. Now the government can send you to a foreign prison with no trial and with no obligation to bring you back even when it was a "clerical error" (what the administration argued in court) that sent you there. We are already picking up American citizens because they are brown and speak Spanish. I don't want to live in a show me your papers country
Honestly the surge by definition does fit an invasion and invasion doesn't have to be violent at all. Again the US isn't sending its people it is sending criminals. You broke the law illegally entering most countries don't give you a trial and a hell of a lot of them shoot you.
I think there might have been a single citizen arrested which is wild low given the sheer number or arrests. Those sent to El Salvador are not American citizens. The Maryland father not an American citizen everyone agrees on that.
My how the turns have tabled, decades of controlled fake Republican opposition and now we got fake Libertarian opposition
Guess these ragazines can't fund themselves
"The Alien Enemies Act was passed in 1798 by many men who also framed the Constitution, and was then ruled Constitutional in 1948 as Article II section I powers. Trump's use has now again held up by the Supreme Court"

the analogy with Japanese internment is deceptive and misguided on so many levels
Whose? The way that Reason plugged it was wild to say the least and I tend to like their coverage fwiw
anyone who compares deportation with internment
besides, the Japs were not thugs like Hispanics

I did not know about the 1948 case
thanks for sharing
Alien Enemies Act was passed in 1878.
Marbury v Madison (judicial review) was decided in 1803.
Unless the Supreme Court says it is 'unconstitutional', Reason.com is wrong
