Among the filings from the ACLU submitted Friday was "Exhibit S," which included a form entitled "Alien Enemies Act: Alien Enemy Validation Guide," which is allegedly being used by federal agents to determine whether an immigrant is a TdA member.

Agents must determine whether an individual is over 14 years of age, is not a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, and is a citizen of Venezuela. If any of these are not true, an immigrant cannot be deported under the AEA.

The form then includes a scorecard of different characteristics, including confirmed criminal activity related to the gang, messages showing evidence of links to the group, and whether they have tattoos which known members also have. (Tattoos and dress are low on the scale = 4 points)

(ACLU submission of Exhibit) ^
 
The checklist assigns point totals to different categories for each immigrant, including "subject has tattoos denoting membership/loyalty to TDA" and subject "...displays insignia, logos, notations, drawings, or dress known to indicate allegiance to TDA."


Each observation has an assigned value ranging from two points, up to 10 points. According to the document, migrants who have a total score of eight points or higher "are validated as members of TDA," and will be issued a "Notice and Warrant of Apprehension and Removal Under the Alien Enemies Act."


"Aliens scoring 6 or 7 points may be validated as members of TDA; you should consult with a supervisor and (Office of the Principal Legal Advisor), reviewing the totality of the facts, before making that determination," the checklist instructions state.

Regardless of how they identify alleged gang members, they must still receive a full examination and hearing before a US Court before they can be deported under the AEA. 50 USC §23 is unambiguous about this. The fact remains that the Attorney General was ordered by President in his Proclamation to act pursuant to the AEA "consistent with applicable law":

Sec. 4. Pursuant to the Alien Enemies Act, the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall, consistent with applicable law, apprehend, restrain, secure, and remove every Alien Enemy described in section 1 of this proclamation. The Secretary of Homeland Security retains discretion to apprehend and remove any Alien Enemy under any separate authority.

As 50 USC §23 is part of the AEA, it obviously meets the criteria of applicable law.

So why did the Attorney General take it upon herself to disobey the order of the President?
 
If you score high...self-deport and get the hell out of America!

I can't understand how some Americans actually argue that these clearly violent, criminal, foreign gang members, many of whom have committed numerous serious crimes, been arrested, and then released without notifying INS and/or ICE per Federal law, should be treated better than they treat actual American citizens.

These are serial rapists, muggers, thieves, armed car-jackers, home invaders, child and female sex traffickers, among other heinous crimes. They have neither respect for nor concerns about our laws. Yet the so-called Liberal Democrats protect them like they were innocent lambs being persecuted for littering.

Where in Federal law does it require local law authorities to notify ICE when they apprehend a suspected illegal immigrant?

Nobody is arguing this.

The constitution provides them specific rights, the same as you.

Well as I’ve said in so many threads in the issue of Immigration. I don’t care how many you deport. I don’t care if you deport them all. I love the idea that you are deporting the worker base for RW businesses.

What I do care about is the Constitution. I refuse to become one of those ends justify the means types who support crimes being committed by the Government because of “them”.
