What circumstances allow the president to invoke this law?
The text of the Alien Enemies Act says it can be invoked whenever:
- A war is declared between the US and “any foreign nation or government” OR
- “Invasion or predatory incursion is perpetrated, attempted, or threatened against the territory of the United States by any foreign nation or government” AND
- “the President makes public proclamation of the event”
In other words, if the US is at war with another country, or a foreign nation or government has invaded the US or threatened to, a president can invoke the Alien Enemies Act.

Who would be impacted?
In those circumstances, “all natives, citizens, denizens, or subjects of the hostile nation or government” who are at least 14 years old and haven’t become naturalized US citizens “shall be liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured, and removed as alien enemies.”
In other words, certain people who aren’t US citizens could be declared “alien enemies” based on their nationality. And that designation could be the basis for detaining and deporting them.

Detentions and deportations that occur under the Alien Enemies Act do not go through the immigration court system, which provides immigrants the chance to seek relief and make their case to stay in the country.

Mine came with Oglethorpe to Savannah in 1732.
Family lore is that we were debtors, but that claim is not borne out by the history books. According to the Wikipedia history of Savannah, the original 114 settlers were not FRom the English debtor’s prisons.
HST, IF we WERE debtors then, we haven’t learned much. We still are!
BUT, I am kinda proud of being able to trace my mother’s side of the family to Oglethorpe’s Savannah.
Father’s side was FRom Wales — but that is another story!
They keep calling them undocumented migrants on ABC News, which is not a news program, btw.
Also, arrest ALL the NGO slugs who assisted and profited from this invasion, and seize ALL their assets.
