Horrified Democrats Discover the Imperial Presidency

by Ted Galen Carpenter

“Trump’s critics accuse him of trying to implement his hardline views on immigration policy under the false guise of a national security imperative. If Trump’s strategy were allowed to stand, critics contend, undocumented immigrants from Venezuela and other countries could be deported with little or no due process. They would be treated as members of an invading terrorist army. Advocates of a liberal immigration policy consider the invocation of the Alien Enemies Act as a mortal threat to their agenda. … It is mighty late for Trump’s opponents to take a stand regarding the limits of the president’s war powers.” (05/22/25)
