The Alien Sedition Act of 1798 is not applicable to the issue of complying to the order of the court. They are two different issues.
The Attorney General can not make any determination regarding "alien enemies" without a declaration of war and without the direction of the President: supreme.justia.com
"Under authority of the Alien Enemy Act of 1798, which empowers the President, whenever there is a "declared war" between the United States and any foreign country, to provide for the removal of alien enemies from the United States, the President, on July 14, 1945, directed the removal of all alien enemies "deemed by the Attorney General to be dangerous" to the public safety. The Attorney General, on January 18, 1946, ordered removal of petitioner, a German national, from the United States. Challenging the validity of the removal order, petitioner instituted habeas corpus proceedings in the Federal District Court to secure his release from detention under the order."
Not even the Trump admin is resting its justification on that. It is, instead, pretending it can use the Alien Sedition Act because we are "being invaded." That is, of course, laughable since we are not at war and in no danger of being invaded.
