Texas Judge: Trump’s Use of Alien Enemies Act Went Too Far

A federal judge in Texas just ruled that former President Trump “exceeded the scope” of the Alien Enemies Act when using it to fast-track deportations during his term.

The law — dating back to 1798 — was intended for wartime enemies, not broad immigration enforcement. Critics say Trump's administration stretched it as a legal shortcut, bypassing due process.

Supporters argue the move was necessary for national security.
Opponents call it a dangerous precedent that eroded constitutional protections.

This case may reshape how far presidents can go with old laws in modern crises.
