The Trump administration has moved aggressively over the last year to carry out deportations, including invoking a 1798 wartime law, the Alien Enemies Act, to remove Venezuelan migrants who officials accuse of being part of a terrorist gang. During a hearing in that case last year, the Washington judge presiding over it, James Boasberg, indicated that the Alien Terrorist Removal Court would be the natural forum to consider a request for deportation on national security grounds.

 In fact, Congress has an answer for us, doesn't it? Because they created the Alien Terrorist Removal Court,  he said.  So if there's a national security concern with having these hearings...you can always go to the ATRC, which would be a first, but that's what it's there for, right?
