🚨   Sotomayor's Specter: No, the Alien Enemies Act Can't Deport Americans

Politics

The ink was barely dry on the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision lifting the stay on deportations under the Alien Enemies Act when the legacy media began breathlessly quoting Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s dissent—in apocalyptic tones. Her warning? That under the Court’s logic, an American citizen could be deported—stripped of rights, booted from the country, exiled without due process, never to return. Cue the headlines. Cue the hashtags. Cue the hair-on-fire social media engagement from people who haven’t read the statute, the ruling, or a single line of immigration law in their lives. One not-so-insignificant problem here is that her argument is legally incoherent, constitutionally unserious, and factually implausible.
