re: Megyn Kelly — Alien Enemies Act is not subject to judicial review.

By maybe, I mean there isn’t a clear standard that the group in question must be some flag bearing uniformed invading military force.

this statute was written in 1798 that’s exactly what they expected.

They wanted to make sure the president could act before congress could meet to declare war. Because you know they took carriages places.

If Afghani Taliban sympathizers for example were coming in through the Southern border and terrorizing Americans, could the AEA not be leveraged?

---

Well we declared war on the Taliban. The Taliban was the government of Afghanistan (until we deposed them)

The AEA would allow the president to deport and afghani living in the united states regardless of immigration status.

The question would be, could the president have deported all afghanis living in the US after 9/11. Or citizens of any nation with ties to Al Qaeda.

Those standards are met with TdAs affiliation to the Maduro regime as its Narco-terrorism arm.

But even the EO sorta sidesteps calling TdA directly a branch of the Venezealan government.

“works in conjunction with”
“takes direction from”
“has infiltrated”
“has connections to”

If the president had mob ties and told the mob to blow up Mexican Government buildings, has thenUS invaded Mexico?

and again, you can’t argue TdA itself is a foreign government or nation.

So if it’s an extension of Venezuela, then Venezuela has invaded the US.

In almost every way this is appearances only.

TdA is a drug trafficking organization. you can call them terrorist because they do political attacks to maintain power over the drug trade. I think that’s fair.

It’s a stretch to call them an arm of the Venezuelan government when they clearly have independent objective and activity.
