Fox News host uses shameful Japanese internment camps to justify banned Trump deportations

Raw Story  

Fox News host Joey Jones argued that President Donald Trump should be able to use the wartime Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport immigrants because the law wasn't struck down when the U.S. used it for Japanese internment camps in World War II.

"But in any case, this is the same law that was used to justify the internment camps in World War II, and it didn't get struck down by the Supreme Court then."
