Trump Signs Executive Order to Quickly Rid US of Venezuelan Gangs

Looking for a way to speed up the process of deporting criminal immigrants and illegal alien gang members, President Donald Trump on Saturday afternoon signed an Executive Order to utilize a US law that reaches back to the era of the American Revolution.

The President signed an executive order invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which aims for swift detention and deportation of those in America who are migrants from hostile nations.

Venezuela has been a hostile nation to the US, and Venezuelan gangs such as Tren de Aragua have been designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization with thousands of members, so President Trump says he intends to use the Presidential Order, apply it to Venezuelan gangs, and get them out of the country as soon as possible.
