The article critiques the Trump administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act for deporting more than 100 Venezuelan men without criminal records. It highlights the inconsistency between the administration's claims of targeting undocumented criminals and the reality that many deported lacked any wrongdoing. The author emphasizes a potential abuse of power, noting the administration's failures to adhere to due process safeguards like the Fifth Amendment, portraying a troubling narrative of how immigration enforcement can disproportionately affect innocent individuals.
To be deported, one does not need to be a drug dealer or a terrorist; having tattoos and being Venezuelan is enough.

A 'criminal' is anyone the administration wants to deport, without any earnest attempt to prove wrongdoing.
Immigration law is extraordinarily deferential to the federal government regarding deportations, even when due process protections are concerned.
