NEW YORK — U.S. President Donald Trump turned to a centuries-old law last used to establish World War II detainment camps in expelling Venezuelan migrants this month, shocking and angering many Japanese Americans.
Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act on March 15 to deport people the administration claimed to belong to Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. Three planes flew more than 200 alleged members to a megaprison in El Salvador, despite a tempor blocking order by a federal judge.
