AI Summary:
Trump says the United States is under invasion. The proclamation says Tren de Aragua is a hybrid criminal state. Immigration experts say the US is not under invasion from a Venezuelan gang or any other group or country. The Alien Enemies Act lets the president detain and deport people from a “hostile nation or government” without a hearing when the US is either at war with that country. Trump’s proclamation made two seemingly contradictory arguments to prove Tren de Aragua’s presence in the US represents a foreign invasion. Legal experts say it is wrong to treat migrants as an invasion. The Constitution uses the term “invasion” four times, related to national security, the federal government’s war powers. But the US Supreme Court has not ruled on its meaning either. Legal experts pointed to the three times the Alien Enemies Act has been invoked. All previous invocations were during wartime. Trump has not asked Congress to declare war.
