Staring at a possible dead end for the “Alien Enemies Act” shitshow, convicted felon President Trump’s minions are now looking into whether they can label suspected cartel and gangbangers as “enemy combatants,” CNN reports on the next way of justifying extrajudicial detentions, deportations, and probably application of lethal force if we’re being honest with each other here.
