President Donald Trump invoked a centuries-old wartime law to declare a Venezuelan street gang has “invaded” the United States, clearing the way for “immediate apprehension, detention, and removal” of anyone the government says falls into that category.

The only other times this was invoked was during WW1, WW2 and War of 1812. It gives the President a heck of a lot more power because u'know, it's a wartime act, so according to Trump, America is at war...Or he simply illegally invoked a wartime act to give him even more power to abuse. But sure, invoking a wartime act to deal with a single gang, Lol. America will be rounding up anyone who isn't white at this rate.
Courts will have a field day with this one.
