George E. 🇺🇸♥🇺🇦🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️<p>Goddamnit I hate the fact that <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/CNN" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CNN</a><span> has erected all these "pay walls".

This <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/law" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#law</a> is part of a set of four laws collectively known as the <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/AlienAndSeditionActs" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AlienAndSeditionActs</a>, enacted during <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/JohnAdams" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JohnAdams</a><span>' presidency[1][2].<br><br>The Alien Enemies Act grants the </span><a href="https://bofh.social/tags/president" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#president</a> the <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/authority" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#authority</a> to <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/detain" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#detain</a>, <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/deport" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deport</a>, or <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/remove" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#remove</a> non-citizens from nations deemed hostile to the <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/UnitedStates" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UnitedStates</a><span> during wartime[2]. Specifically, it allows for the apprehension, restraint, and removal of male citizens (age 14 and older) of a hostile nation[2].<br><br>Key points about the Alien Enemies Act:<br><br>1. Historical context: It was passed in 1798 amid rising tensions with France[1][3].<br><br>2. Current status: Unlike the other three acts in the set, the Alien Enemies Act remains in effect today, though in a modified form[1][2].<br><br>3. Past usage: It has been invoked three times in U.S. history, all during major military conflicts:<br> - War of 1812<br> - World War I<br> - World War II[2]<br><br>4. World War II application: President </span><a href="https://bofh.social/tags/Franklin" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Franklin</a> D. <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/Roosevelt" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Roosevelt</a> used this act after the <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/PearlHarbor" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PearlHarbor</a> <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/attack" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#attack</a> to label <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/Japanese" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Japanese</a>, <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/German" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#German</a>, and <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/Italian" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Italian</a> nationals as "alien enemies"[2].

Recent controversy: Former President </span><a href="https://bofh.social/tags/DonaldTrump" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DonaldTrump</a> has stated that if re-elected, he would <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/invoke" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#invoke</a> this <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/act" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#act</a> to expedite the <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/removal" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#removal</a> of <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/undocumented" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#undocumented</a> <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/immigrants" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#immigrants</a><span> and dismantle criminal networks in the United States[2][3].<br><br>It's important to note that legal experts suggest any attempt to use this law in the current context, without a declared war or clear military threat, would likely face significant legal challenges[3][5].<br><br>Citations:<br>[1] </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_and_Sedition_Acts" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_and_Sedition_Acts</a><span><br>[2] </span><a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/10/19/nx-s1-5156027/alien-enemies-act-1798-trump-immigration" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.npr.org/2024/10/19/nx-s1-5156027/alien-enemies-act-1798-trump-immigration</a><span><br>[3] </span><a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/14/politics/alien-enemies-act-1798-trump-cec/index.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/14/politics/alien-enemies-act-1798-trump-cec/index.html</a><span><br>[4] </span><a href="https://encyclopedia.densho.org/Alien_Enemies_Act_of_1798/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://encyclopedia.densho.org/Alien_Enemies_Act_of_1798/</a><span><br>[5] </span><a href="https://www.thirdway.org/blog/what-is-the-alien-enemies-act-of-1798" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.thirdway.org/blog/what-is-the-alien-enemies-act-of-1798</a><span><br>[6] </span><a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/10/14/alien-enemies-act-trump-operation-aurora/75675457007/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/10/14/alien-enemies-act-trump-operation-aurora/75675457007/</a><span><br>[7] </span><a href="https://densho.org/catalyst/the-alien-enemies-act-paved-the-way-for-japanese-american-incarceration-lets-keep-it-in-the-past/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://densho.org/catalyst/the-alien-enemies-act-paved-the-way-for-japanese-american-incarceration-lets-keep-it-in-the-past/</a><span><br>[8] </span><a href="https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/alien-and-sedition-acts" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/alien-and-sedition-acts</a><span><br>[9] </span><a href="https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/alien-enemies-act-explained" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/alien-enemies-act-explained</a><span><br>[10] </span><a href="https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/policy-solutions/alien-enemies-act" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/policy-solutions/alien-enemies-act</a></p>
