Historian Heather Cox Richardson warned journalist Katie Couric on Friday that gang members outside of President Donald Trump’s administration could lead to the deportation of innocent people.
The Trump administration reportedly used alien enemy law to send two planes to transport Tren de Aragua (TDA) members to El Salvador on Saturday, which was later issued by a US district judge. Injunction order The plane back. Richardson on Courick’s YouTube channelHe said that “a rising authoritarian government” begins with intentionally targeting undesirable individuals.

“When that happened, I let it go and started pulling it back and it was okay to take the gang members who committed murder, so it was okay to take the gang members who didn’t actually commit murder,” Richardson said. “And it’s okay to take someone who was probably a gang member with you. And it’s okay to take someone who isn’t a gang member with you.”
“And it’s okay to take someone who showed up… I was on one of the planes that were actually on a legal channel to get asylum,” she continued. “You know, you start to hit a really slippery slope. Where do you think it’s going to stop?”
Historians also agreed with Courick when they suggested that the deported gang members were “proverb frogs in boiling water.”
The alien enemy law, summoned by Trump on March 15th, provides vast authority to the American president to order the deportation of people from their enemy countries without following standard procedures. According to To the BBC.
Following Saturday’s deportation, a group of democratic senators has statement Monday condemning the use of aliens’ enemy laws. They also suggested that American citizens and innocent people could be improperly expelled from the country based on his use of law.
“Let’s be clear: we are not at war, and immigrants have not invaded our country,” they wrote. Additionally, the courts will determine whether people have broken the law. Rather than a president acting alone, immigrant agents choose to choose who will be imprisoned or deported… these protections are there to ensure that U.S. citizens are not illegally deported, or to ensure that people who have not committed crimes are not accidentally punished. ”
“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg warned on Monday that Americans are not safe from deportation under the Trump administration.
However, the 14th amendment to the US Constitution guarantee Citizenship with all people born on the land of the United States. Deportation only relates to naturalized citizens whose citizenship status has been removed to achieve illegal naturalization or violate certain immigration laws, but it is very rare to revoke the citizenship of such individuals. According to to US Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Trump also signed the executive order on January 20th designation Cartels and crime gangs, including TDA, are foreign terrorist organizations. President of El Salvador, President Naive Buquere Confirmed On Saturday, his country received 238 TDA members and 23 MS-13 members.
Richardson previously warned Coolick during his February podcast. This warned that it could be an important step towards authoritarianism if the Associated Press (AP) began referencing the Gulf Bay by a new name after restricting access to the continued use of the “Gulf of America.”
“I think the idea that reporters must use the Gulf of America when they’ve been called the Gulf of Mexico since at least the 1550s is a way to say, ‘You’re in my reality now, and you need to succumb to my reality,'” Richardson told Couric. “And it’s a terrible, slippery slope because when you start saying, ‘Okay, I’ll let you get away with it,’ it’s hard to say no next time. That’s a really important line. ”
