Part 6/9:
The deportation of gang members has been facilitated under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a seldom-used law that grants the president the authority to deport foreign nationals without judicial trials, primarily during wartime. Historically, this law has been employed only three times, which reflects the unusual nature of this situation. However, its use raises questions about due process and the balance of power between the judicial system and the executive branch.
