The United States treated alleged Nazis better during World War II than the Trump Administration treated Venezuelan migrants last week, a federal appeals judge told a Justice Department lawyer during a court hearing Monday.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit is hearing arguments over the Trump administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act last week to deport more than 200 alleged members of a Venezuelan gang to El Salvador with no due process.
1. Being arrested, processed, and transported is the necessary "due process".
2. "Alleged Nazis"' treatment ranged from resident aliens being interned - similar to Japanese internment, but in much smaller numbers, resident alien Italians also
* - to POWs being incarcerated in POW camps to the captured would-be saboteurs of "Operation Pastorius" who were tried by a military tribunal and sentenced to death (6 of the 8 were executed, the two who ratted out the 6 had their sentences commuted by FDR to 30 years and life in prison).
I'm sure the deported thugs,
while in US custody, were treated much better than internees, POWs, or the failed saboteurs.
* I wonder how many DU-Denizens knew about the numerically lesser internment of resident alien Germans and Italians. Naturalized and first-generation-citizen Germans and Italians were not interned, so the Japanese were treated worse (though that may partly have been a pragmatic choice, i.e. too many naturalized and first-generation-citizen Germans and Italians to be interned).
