Trump Vows Expanded Muslim Travel Ban If Elected

The Hill reports:

The former president vowed to “carry out the largest domestic deportation operation in American History,” according to prepared remarks shared with The Hill.

He said he would invoke the Alien Enemies Act, a 1798 law that was part of the Alien and Sedition Acts that allowed the deportation of any immigrant who hailed from a country at war with the United States.

Trump said he would bring back the travel ban and “expand it even further to keep Radical Islamic Terrorists out of our country,” according to prepared remarks. He also said he would use existing law to “deny entry” into the U.S. for “communists and Marxists.”
