US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that the United States is invaded by a Venezuelan gang, and announced the activation of the “foreign enemies law” for 1798, a law that gives the president broad powers during war times, allowing him more flexibility in implementing policies and taking executive measures.
The decision aims to accelerate the mass deportation of people residing in the country illegally, which may lead to an escalation of his strictly promised campaign against illegal immigration.
Trump announced that the “Trin de Aragwa” gang is an hostile force that operates by the Venezuelan government.
This announcement came on the same day that a federal judge in Washington issued a decision prohibiting the American administration from deporting five Venezuelane according to the expected order.
“Over the years, the Venezuelan national and local authorities abandoned their control over their lands in favor of cross -border criminal organizations, including” Treen de Arajoa “,” Trump statement said.
He added: “The result is a hybrid criminal state that invades the United States and launched exploitative attacks on it, which poses a great danger to its national security.”
It is noteworthy that the “Law of Foreign Enemies” was not used since the Second World War, when it was applied as part of the detention of Japanese American civilians, and was only used in American history, during the First World War and the 1812 war, according to the Associated Press.
