#Alienenemiesact
Trmp is vowing to use the AlienEnemiesAct againts Mexicans and Venezuelans but as a racist, his enemies list is long. You can't predict exactly what will happen solely by what's happened before. We have to unite to stop him from using the AEA again.

1941: the AlienEnemiesAct was used to sweep up 31k Japanese, Italians, and Germans and led to the mass removal and indefinite detention in concentration camps of 125k Japanese and citizen children. Loss of property, and massive violations of the U.S. Constitution.

Don't let them do it again!

So the #alienenemiesact is in the news, and the drafting and early enforcement of the act is covered in my book, Stranger Citizens: Migrant Influence and National Power in the Early American Republic - this act ONLY applies in times of war 🧵 #skystorians #academicsky

Word on the street is Trump might use the Alien Enemies Act (yeah, from 1798 🤯) to declare a national emergency and get the military involved in immigration enforcement.

Sound off, besties. Are we chill with this, or nah? ⬇️

I think Trumps lawyers need to read up on the Alien Enemies Act of 1798

‘the Trump administration can’t seem to decide what exactly happened and whether or not what happened was a gutsy commitment to presidential power or, instead, a terrible mistake’. The hearing starts imminently. #AlienEnemiesAct #deportations

The #alienenemiesact was last enforced during WWII. We know how that turned out 😢
One of the most disheartening aspects of being human is our collective refusal to not repeat atrocities. Still I am hopeful that one day we’ll vow to never repeat and actually mean it.
