President Donald Trump has issued a proclamation invoking the Alien Enemies Act, a 1798 law providing for deportations of non-citizens during times of war or invasion. 
The proclamation targets members of the Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang, which Trump links to the socialist regime in Venezuela. Trump declared TdA a foreign terrorist organization in February.
