Trump, WH Website Contradict on Alien Enemies Act

The White House official website and President Donald Trump appeared to contradict each other on Friday over the signing of the Alien Enemies Act, which the president invoked as justification for the rapid deportation of members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.

On March 14, the official White House website noted the presidential action of Trump invoking the Alien Enemies Act originally signed by President John Adams in 1798.

“We want to get criminals out of our country. Number one, I don’t know when it was signed ’cause I didn’t sign it. Other people handled it. But [Secretary of State] Marco Rubio’s done a great job, and he wanted them out, and we go along with that. We want to get criminals out of our country,” Trump told reporters this week.
