Who is "we"?

You DO realize that there are who knows how many immigrant rights groups out there as well as orgs like the ACLU who have been directly battling this, right?

And you do know that the "Alien Enemies Act" WAS explicitly designated to ONLY be used when the U.S. is AT WAR (declared) with another country, right?

It's to be used against "nations/governments", NOT groups of individuals, even if they are criminals who may need to be locked up for violating U.S. law
