The Alien Enemies Act was part of the package of the Alien and Sedition Acts that risked choking off American liberty before the constitutional order had fully taken hold. It was last used to justify the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II.

Where is more media coverage of this, honestly? Historians are on it now in real time, but, no doubt, as @kevinmkruse.bsky.social noted, will be harsher in the future when lining up & analyzing policy, action, rhetoric through-lines & developments, such as the final 2024 campaign turn, as history.

Department of Transportation electronic sign, reading "ALL ROADS CLOSED IN WESTERN NC" and then "DO NOT TRAVEL IN WESTERN NC"
