Invocation of the Alien Enemies Act Regarding the Invasion of the United States by Tren de Aragua

On March 14, 2025, President Donald Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act to address the threat posed by Tren de Aragua (TdA), a foreign terrorist organization linked to Venezuela's Maduro regime. The proclamation authorizes the apprehension, detention, and removal of TdA members within the U.S. who are not naturalized or lawful permanent residents, citing their involvement in hostile activities and irregular warfare. This action could have significant legal and political implications, potentially affecting U.S.-Venezuela relations and raising concerns about civil liberties and due process for those targeted under this directive.
