Alien Enemies Act: Because Apparently 1798 Still Slaps

Tuesday, April 8, 2025

We’re breaking down the Supreme Court’s big ruling on the Alien Enemies Act — a law that dates all the way back to 1798. In a close 5-4 decision, the Court gave the green light for the Trump administration to deport suspected Venezuelan gang members, including those tied to Tren de Aragua.

We dive into the legal, historical, and political angles — and what this could mean for immigration policy moving forward.
