The Conversation: Trump wants to use the Alien Enemies Act to deport immigrants – but the 18th-century law has been invoked only during times of war

In “Trump wants to use the Alien Enemies Act to deport immigrants – but the 18th-century law has been invoked only during times of war” for The Conversation, Daniel Tichenor writes that the Alien Enemies Act, first approved in the late 1700s, was last used during World War II to identify particular foreign nationals living in the U.S.  Will it be invoked by President Trump to justify the mass deportation campaign?
