US : Trump has just invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 for the first time since WW2.

Holy shit. We keep reaching new levels of deranged with every waking moment in this country.

This is so dangerous and has far reaching consequences beyond just Venezuelans. The EO also takes away all due process for detainees and can allow them to be held without any rights, in any location they desire.

Extremely fitting that this is happening on the 53rd day of this administration. 53 days is how long it took Hitler to consolidate power in 1933. History really does repeat itself.

Please, stay safe everybody. This is another dark day in American history.

EDIT: A federal judge appointed by W Bush has issued a temporary restraining order in response to an ACLU lawsuit. Trump Administration immediately filed an appeal. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/judge-limits-trumps-ability-deport-people-alien-enemies-act-rcna196592
