The act has been invoked three times in U.S. history, each time during wartime, and is meant to counter the actions of foreign governments and regimes, not alleged criminals, gangs, or non-state actors. The law was also used to justify Japanese internment during WWII, and now, the Trump administration is using it to justify its deportations. <br>In an unsigned opinion, the Supreme Court tossed a district court decision that had temporarily blocked President Trump’s attempt to continue using the 227-year-old law after he sent almost 300 Venezuelan migrants to a notorious prison in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ElSalvador" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ElSalvador</span></a>, known for human rights abuses.</p><p>"All nine justices agreed, however, that anyone the administration is seeking to deport under the Alien Enemies Act must receive notice of deportation and be given the opportunity to challenge the removal through '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/habeas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>habeas</span></a> petitions' — meaning that migrants have the right to have their detention or deportation reviewed by the federal court, but only for themselves and in the area where they are being detained. </p><p>"The court’s three liberal justices dissented from the ruling, while Justice <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmyConeyBarrett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmyConeyBarrett</span></a>, who was appointed by Trump, partially dissented.
