Our much vaunted separation of powers seems to mean little now. We have a 'unitary executive', a dictator. And he's a vengeful idiot.

Trump Invokes 1798 Alien Enemies Act to Deport Migrants, Citing 'Invasion'

What Happened: Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act for the first time since World War II, granting himself sweeping wartime powers to deport noncitizens—without due process—by labeling Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua gang as an "invading force." A federal judge immediately blocked the deportations for two weeks.

Why It Matters: Trump is stretching a 200-year-old wartime law to justify mass deportations in peacetime, setting a dangerous precedent for bypassing immigration courts and constitutional protections. His regime is arguing that unauthorized immigration constitutes an “invasion,” a legal rationale that will be expanded to target broader groups.
