@Gaius

The President has the authority to do this, but he must bring each defendant to a court for a (brief) hearing. so two different branches of government have to sign-off on every case, every deportation

If your news sources are not telling you this, they are probably feeding you one-sided anti-Trump half-truths and calling it “news.”

Your conclusion is not what I have found after studying President Trump’s March 15, 2025 PROCLAMATION and then studied An act respecting Alien Enemies which gives the Executive branch of government extraordinary power over designated aliens and making them ". . . liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured and removed . . . " under a President’s warrant. This designated group is different than those who have a complaint against them as mentioned in the Act and are entitled to be convened before a ". . . court, judge or justice. . . and after a full examination and hearing on such complaint, and sufficient cause therefor appearing, shall and may order such alien or aliens to be removed out of the territory of the United States . . . "

There are two classes of aliens designated in the Act with reference to deportation.
