Old Laws, New Crises: The Alien Enemies Act & Trump's Deportation Flights

President Donald Trump took a drastic move in his fight against immigration, invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport alleged members of Venezuela's Tren de Aragua gang.

Pierce, a law professor at GW, to break down the constitutional questions about Trump's use of this executive power. We explore the historical context of the Alien Enemies Act, its intended purpose during wartime, and the unprecedented nature of its application in this scenario.
