Think of that, that&rsquo;s how far back &mdash; that&rsquo;s when they had law and order. They had some tough ones. The Alien Enemies Act of 1798, you hear that, Mr. Speaker? Get ready,&rdquo; Trump said, telling House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to prepare for him to invoke the law.<\/p>\n<p>The law allows for &ldquo;all natives, citizens, denizens, or subjects of the hostile nation or government, being of the age of fourteen years and upward, who shall be within the United States and not actually naturalized, shall be liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured, and removed as alien enemies,&rdquo; provided that the country is at declared war with a country or &ldquo;any invasion or predatory incursion is perpetrated, attempted, or threatened against the territory of the United States by any foreign nation or government.&rdquo; The president must also make a proclamation of an invasion or incursion.<\/p>\n<p>The Alien Enemies Act has been invoked three times: during the War of 1812 for British nationals, during World War I for German, Austro-Hungarian, Ottoman, and Bulgarian nationals, and during World War II for German, Italian, and Japanese nationals.<\/p>\n<p>The usage for deportation usually occurs when a country or country&rsquo;s government is at war with the U.S., which may cause some trouble if Trump were to invoke the law against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/what-is-wrong-with-the-biden-administration\/\" title=\"What Is Wrong With The Biden Administration?\u00a0\">foreign gang members<\/a>.
