Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

"The Alien Enemies Act of 1798 allows the U.S. President to detain or deport individuals from enemy nations during wartime or in response to threats against the U.S."
Congress is the only one that can declare war, correct, but the President doesn't need a war to be declared by congress in order to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. A quick google, which I have repeatedly encouraged you to do if you doubt what I'm saying, would have shown you this information right away. It's not hidden.
Irellevant. Activist judge or not, the stay of deportation is overruled by the Alien Enemies Act.
It's literally a wartime Act.

You should try googling sometime yourself.
Irrelevant when an activist president used a wartime Act outside of war.
The government isn’t invading.
The President of the USA decides if there is an invasion or predatory incursion, that’s the point. Not congress, not you - the president.
Yes And the precedent of is an incursion or predatory invasion are clear, what else is clear is that this situation is neither of those, so the act was used under false presences, so the president is, as per usual flaunting the rule of law, it was invoked incorrectly, and falsely, as there is no incursion or predatory invasion
I don't know how many times it needs to be pointed out to you, because even your own links specifically say it, but you're wrong. It can be invoked during wartime OR when there is an invasion or predatory incursion which is at the discretion of the President. "Or" is the key word here that you don't seem to be understanding.
Congress decides when it is "wartime".
The President decides when there is an ongoing invasion or predatory incursion.
There isn't an invasion or predatory incursions though, that's just factual. Otherwise the president of El Salvador couldn't have come to the us, as they are the "enemy" "invading". That's what you don't seem to be understanding
According to you, but you don't get to decide that. According to the President however, who DOES get to decide if there is, there is. Your own links say this.
If you don't like that the President has the power to do this under the Alien Enemy Act, you should say that instead of saying that the President doesn't have the power to do it when he clearly does.
No, not according to me according to the real world and what's happening
The president does have the power during wartime.... which the president doesnt get to decide, congress does.
Ok i dont know what the deal is with this "max comment depth" error since you can clearly still go further.
The president is the one that gets to decide if an invasion is happening, per the act.
No
again "max comment depth":
Are you pretending that the last 2 sentences of the text on that image, which I have already pointed out, do not exist? Here, I'll point it out again:
This is what the President did, and the act allows for it.
I did, there is no ongoing invasion OR predatory incursion. There's the issue
apparently we've reached "max comment depth" down below so I'll reply here:
You mean did I keep reading the very next sentence? I sure did!
Kay cause clearly you didn't.
FROM YOUR OWN LINK:
Yes? And did you keep reading? How those words are specifically used during wartime or invasion which this is clearly not?
