President Donald Trump’s plan to speed up deportations of undocumented migrants has been blocked by a federal judge. The decision comes after Trump invoked wartime powers under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which was used in the past to justify the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. This law allows for the deportation of individuals deemed a threat to national security without due process. A court ruling has halted this plan, raising concerns about its potential impact on migrant communities.
