338 | How Trump is Using the Alien Enemies Act to Destroy Due Process Protections w/Nayna Gupta

Today, Hunter spoke with Nayna Gupta of the American Immigration Council. This conversation covers a recent slate of Trump Administration Immigration Policies that are a naked power grab by the President so he can detain and deport whoever he wants, whenever he wants, and however he wants without due process of law. Specifically, Nayna walks us through how the Alien Enemies Act, the designation of several cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, and the new Immigration Registration requirement will work in concert to grant the President nearly limitless power to detain and deport people.   Guest Nayna Gupta, Policy Director, American Immigration Council   Resources: American Immigration Council Resources https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/ https://www.instagram.com/immcouncil/ https://x.com/immcouncil https://www.facebook.com/TheAmericanImmigrationCouncil/#   ILRC Red Cards https://www.ilrc.org/red-cards-tarjetas-rojas   Invocation of the Act https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/invocation-of-the-alien-enemies-act-regarding-the-invasion-of-the-united-states-by-tren-de-aragua/   Alien Enemies Act Explained https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/alien-enemies-act-explained https://www.justsecurity.org/109168/alien-enemies-act-litigation/   Judge Blocking the Act and Trump Ignoring the Order http://axios.com/2025/03/14/trump-alien-enemies-act-deportations https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-admin-ignores-judges-order-bring-deportation-planes/story?id=119857181 https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/us/constitutional-crisis.htmlQ   Foreign Terrorist Organization Designation https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/designating-cartels-and-other-organizations-as-foreign-terrorist-organizations-and-specially-designated-global-terrorists/   Registration Requirements https://www.uscis.gov/alienregistration   Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN Trying to find a specific part of an episode?
