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.

I didn't mean it that way, but now that you've pointed it out - I can see you have a point. Interesting. I think you're right that the round up of innocent people, the terrorizing of children, the apprehension of people legally here, all the headlines that cover the news, US citizens being deported because their parents aren't properly documented (brain cancer), terrorizing adults, expanding the locations ICE and Border Patrol can go - including churches and schools, I mean the entire list is long. I think that is an agenda of terror, of hate to you. Don't you? I mean, it is intentional. It is planned.

Does all that fall under "securing our border" to you?

I mean there are specific border policies you euphemistically refer to as "securing our border" that are pure evil, and they pertain to the actual border. I hadn't thought of including those, and I wasn't thinking of them at the time.

My comment was directed at all the other ways Trump is turning America into a shhthole nation. Tariffs, no rule of law - only the rule of the king, ignoring court orders, disappearing people, saying that our news outlets are enemies of the state (the king), treating people that disagree as enemies that he intends on rounding up and saying all his critics should be locked up. Turning America into an authoritarian state with a despot as its leader. You expect people to hop on a plane to come here given what's going on?

As I said "Trump is turning America into a shhthole nation." Actually he's already done it.

You know what I find the most entertaining about this post by LftHndThrds? That he's posted all over drudge.com

Boy do these right-wingers thing they have something with this autopen Trump bloviating blowhard bullshht!
