"summary",
"Trump's executive orders revive the McCarran-Walter Act and the Internal Security Act of 1950, which defined the legal framework for Cold War repression. The orders expand the use of 'expedited removal', revive the Alien Registration Act of 1940-44, and allow for the declaration of 'foreign terrorist organizations'. The article argues that these measures are part of a larger effort to frighten communities, people of faith, and unions into paralysis, and to break the alliances between immigrants and progressive movements."
