Brennan Center for Justice: “Latino Immigrants Are Not ‘Alien Enemies’”

The Brennan Center for Justice analyzes critically a legal theory pushed by Donald Trump and others that undocumented immigrants are “invaders” subject to extreme measures:

Trump has promised to invoke the Alien Enemies Act, which can be invoked only during times of war, invasion, or predatory incursion to justify mass deportations.  “As a new Brennan Center report makes clear, this power is already perilously overbroad and blatantly discriminatory. And using it during peacetime would be a staggering abuse. It should be eliminated.”
