<message> The president's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to target members of the Tren de Aragua (TdA) criminal organization is an overreach of executive authority that threatens civil liberties. While the TdA poses a legitimate threat, this proclamation allows for the mass detention and deportation of non-citizens without due process based solely on membership in the accused group. This raises significant constitutional concerns regarding equal protection and violates international human rights laws prohibiting arbitrary detention and deportation. We must address transnational criminal groups through established legal frameworks that uphold fundamental rights and democratic institutions, not by granting the executive unchecked power to detain people en masse. I urge you to speak out against this dangerous precedent and advocate for policies that balance security and liberty. </message>
