Document 6283

Summary
President Donald Trump has invoked the Alien Enemies Act to address the threat posed by Tren de Aragua (TdA), a foreign terrorist organization linked to the Venezuelan regime, which has infiltrated the U.S. and engaged in criminal activities. This proclamation enables the apprehension and removal of Venezuelan citizens aged 14 and older, associated with TdA, who are not naturalized or lawful permanent residents. The action underscores significant legal and political implications, focusing on national security and immigration policy, and may face scrutiny over its broad application and potential impact on U.S.-Venezuela relations.
