Prevent unlawful use of Alien Enemies Act, protect due process.

Congress needs to stop Trump's illegal abuses of power. A Trump-appointed federal judge ruled the administration's invocation of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to target a Venezuelan gang was unlawful, finding it exceeded the scope of the statute. The judge determined the gang's activities did not constitute an "invasion" or "predatory incursion" under the historical definitions required by the law. This ruling directly challenges the lawfulness of the administration's actions. Congress must exercise oversight to prevent such unlawful abuses of power that undermine due process protections.
