    Can you read?

    The actual text, from the beginning:

    Whenever there is a declared war between the United States and any foreign nation or government, or any invasion or predatory incursion is perpetrated, attempted, or threatened against the territory of the United States by any foreign nation or government

    Don’t come at me with opinions of meaning. I gave you the actual text.

      What exactly do you think in the bit you highlighted proves you right?

      Can you read?

      I’m asking myself the same thing about you based on this conversation.

        Let’s say that the trump admin is deporting gangs. Cool. Gangs are NOT NATIONS OR GOVERNMENTS.

        love how you ignored the protections and jurisdictions bit…

        Your still wrong.

          Explain how your Mental gymnastics is twisting the literal text into something it’s not, and I’ll apologize. Give me a line by line of the actual text, not an interpretation. I came with facts. You’ve come with feelings.

          Your entire point is based on the fact that only congress can declare war, and the act can only be invoked during war.

          That point is 100% incorrect, as shown by your own links. Your own links say it can also be invoked during an invasion, and that an invasion can be declared by the President.

          I haven’t come with “feelings”, I’ve come with facts - fact that you have also provided but misunderstood.

          Ugh “max comment depth”…response to your NEXT comment is here:

          Huh? I literally just responded to your comment:

          Gangs are NOT NATIONS OR GOVERNMENTS

          to point out that the act is allowed to be invoked when there is an invasion or predatory incursion coming from a foreign nation. I was pointing out where your point is wrong…and you then start talking about planes full of migrants?

          Love the choice of language too - “migrants” rather than what they all are, which is “illegal immigrants”. “without due process” has already been explained - the act that we’re talking about means that a different “due process” is now in play, one which they did follow.

            You do realize I’m talking about the planes full of migrants deported without due process, not just one case, right?
