5 min read"This Is Insane.." — Asmongold
The episode opens with Asmongold reacting to news that President Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 — a law from the John Adams administration, last used during World War II to justify Japanese internment camps. The reaction is immediate and blunt: "Oh my god. Bro, he's bringing back the old text. This is nuts."
The Alien Enemies Act and deportation policy
Trump's invocation of the 1798 law frames the arrival of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang, as an "invasion" of the United States. The act grants expanded authority to detain or remove non-citizen males aged fourteen and older from enemy countries during wartime. In practice, this allows the administration to speed up mass deportations of violent criminal illegal aliens.
When asked how Mexico should respond, Asmongold's co-host suggests: "Probably by saying thank you." The reasoning is that if these are violent gang members from Venezuela, it serves Mexico's interests for the U.S. to remove them. Asmongold notes that detention facilities already exist — Guantanamo Bay — and that this was likely the point all along.
