Trump likely can’t use ‘Alien Enemies’ Act for immigration crackdown, law expert says: ‘not legitimate or appropriate’
Latin Times: Jonathan Entin, the David L. Brennan Professor Emeritus of Law, called the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 “controversial from the very beginning,” warning that its use for present-day immigration enforcement is neither “legitimate nor appropriate.” He highlighted legal risks, noting detained immigrants could struggle to challenge removal. Repeal seems unlikely, he added, as Congress remains supportive of President Trump.
