Emergency wartime authority being exercised at a rare moment when the US is not active in major combat zones, no crisis at home, borders are secure, obvious large threats are minimal. There is zero justification to empower a president to detain or deport the natives & citizens of an "enemy" nation.

PSA: When media reports on President Trump's expected invocation of Alien Enemies Act, it would be good to remind the reader/listener:

The Act also includes summary deportation of permanent legal residents and other immigrants who are lawfully present as well.

It's that extreme an emergency power.
