Deep dives
Warrantless Searches Under the Alien Enemies Act
A leaked memo from law enforcement outlines a directive allowing warrantless searches for members of a specific Venezuelan gang, Trende Aragua, under the Alien Enemies Act. This directive enables law enforcement to detain or deport Venezuelan citizens engaged with the gang by validating their 'alien enemy' status using a point system based on their criminal activities or associations. Critics argue this process violates the Fourth Amendment, which protects individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures. Supporters contend that utilizing presidential wartime powers justifies bypassing standard legal procedures to address immediate threats.
