The Alien Enemies Act was last invoked during World War II to justify the internment of thousands of Americans of Japanese ancestry.
Resurrecting this 18th century law to carry out the president's mass deportation agenda would be unlawful.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

UPDATE: This bill was defeated today in the Senate.
This is a victory for government accountability and our First Amendment rights.
This is a victory for government accountability and our First Amendment rights.
A dangerous bill sanctioning anyone who works with the International Criminal Court is moving quickly through Congress.
H.R. 23 would harshly punish lawyers, academics, and rights advocates — and their family members — for helping the ICC pursue justice for war crimes and other atrocities.

Deporting people for their political views or for participating in protests doesn’t make our country safer and is antithetical to free speech.
No president should be allowed to remove people from our country just because they dissent.

What do Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, & Uber have in common?
1. They or their CEOs gave $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.
2. And they’re all under scrutiny from federal regulators for antitrust/privacy violations or harms to workers/consumers/competition.
