The Trump administration Saturday invoked a sweeping wartime authority, which has been used only three times before, to speed up the deportations of migrants affiliated with the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.

Without even going into the whole war without a war thing, where are Venezuelan gangs an issue in the US? I was unaware that it was even an issue. Also, being a member of a gang would be grounds for deportation, so even it is is an issue, this seems odd.
Every thing he does is designed to cause outrage chaos and division It’s not only affecting the US but the whole world Who could possibly benefit from such a policy? Wake up America Act now before it’s too late!
UNDERSTAND. Trump doesn’t care about any outcome of his edicts. ACCOUNTABILITY will never happen. He will retire in four years to Maralago with the money he grifted from his supporters and our government.
Your headline is bullshit and you know it.
He didn't do it to target "Venezuelan gangs"
He did it to target any non-white immigrant of any status and even white ones that disagree with him.
I wonder at what point fElon Musk will be named as a Venezualan gang member, just to get him thrown out of America?
Or any other non-Venezualan-affiliated citizen that happens to be considered an enemy of the Trumpet?
Colombian University staff that don't follow the new doctrine?
Meanwhile, the last act he signed on the last day of his first term was to grant deferred status to Venezuelan migrants, which set off the surge at the border. I guess Trump doesn’t need to use the migrants anymore.
Trump has been picking "loyal" MAGA minions, spineless empty-suits, to fill all GOP congressional seats. He breaks laws routinely & no serving Republican calls him on it. We thought the USA was a mighty fortress, but it was a house of cards, easy to knock over with a flick of a right-wing finger.
Your article description here is inaccurate. Trump is claiming authority to deport anyone who he claims is affiliated with that gang. No evidence need be provided, no defense allowed. Poof. You’re gone.
Clearly not applicable here!!!
„Whenever there is a declared war between the United States and any foreign nation or government, or any invasion or predatory incursion is perpetrated, attempted, or threatened against the territory of the United States by any foreign nation or government, (…)“
Yep, obvious. The lawlessness (and stupidity) of this administration has no boundaries! Glad the judiciary is reacting ever faster (within hours). Let’s hope it holds. How many millions were wasted on this stunt? Waste, fraud and abuse, anybody?
We should all be thankful those gang members won’t be terrorizing US citizens anymore. Not sure this judge did anything to prevent illegal entry of those thugs, but history will tell that he tried to keep them here.
I doubt that the regime will stop with Venezuelans. He will use the Act to move on other groups of people. He will not stop until he is stopped. People of color will be deported noncitizen and citizens. It won’t matter to him.
This man is living up to his felony convictions. Once a con man, always a con man. Once a criminal, always a criminal. Once a sociopath, always a sociopath.
....Umm....last time I checked, a President could only use the Alien Enemies Act when we're at war. Congress, the only entity allowed to declare war, hasn't. So this action is illegal.
But it’s not to speed up deportations of migrants affiliated with a Venezuelan gang. It’s to deport any Venezuelan. It’s to deport anyone at all, really. Stop playing stupid, CNN. You are complicit with a fascist takeover.
In other news, during the re-negotiation of his @cnn.com contract, Scott Jennings secured the automatic firing of any fellow employee who mentions this on the air.
CNN statements come off like they want gangs from other countries living in America. So what it’s only been used 3 times. Get those gangs out of America. Most people can’t tell if CNN likes America or not. 🤔🤔🤔
More than that, it’s the holocaust jokes on Twitter after. Appearing at an alt right rally in Germany. Going on Rogan and saying “[he] can’t be a Nazi cause he’s not invading Poland” I’m sorry wtf!? It’s making tweets defending Hitler.
I mean shit, it’s a whole pattern on Nazi BS now.
CNN, your headline is irresponsible. The administration alleges or claims these are gang members. Given how mendacious this administration is, unless you have seen proof, you should not present what it says as factual.
The headline is factual. At no point does it allege any person is a gang member, rather the intention of invoking the law is to target members of the gang. Trump’s intentions with this may be vile bullshit, but CNN’s headline is not the problem.
Yes, it is. The AEA is a 1798 antiquated and arcane law that allowed the government to intern Japanese citizens during WWII. It's being used in a bigoted power grab. @cnn should call what it is.
No argument from me that the administration’s intention is bigoted, but such moral assessments are for the editorial section of a newspaper. This article is not an editorial.
This is a significant move considering the historical context. It’s interesting to see how wartime authority is applied in this situation. Do you think this will lead to broader policy changes on immigration?
Great job Democrats. You just proved everybody that you want terrorist in Our country won’t even get rid of violent criminals who are illegals. You really are some sick fucks.
You guys need to call this nazi bullshit what it is instead of acting like your at a goddanm tea party all the time!! Throw scott Jennings out and fucking do the news hardcore!
CNN's capitulation to Nazis continues with them selling propaganda we all KNOW is bullshit. This has absolutely nothing to do with Venezuelan gangs and everything to do with rounding up innocent people and throwing them in concentration camps. Shame on you CNN. #NaziCollaborators

the enemy the government sees as the real threat to them is the citizens of that nation.
Prove me wrong.
Or any other non-Venezualan-affiliated citizen that happens to be considered an enemy of the Trumpet?

Don't you think that maybe it's to deport anyone they decide they want to deport?
I mean shit, it’s a whole pattern on Nazi BS now.
