Terror Laws Enable Mass Deportations

Post‑9/11 'material support' rules are so broad that tenuous ties to designated groups can justify asylum termination and removal. If DHS wins the Ohio chaplain case, it sets a template to use counterterrorism authorities for immigration enforcement at scale without new legislation. That would let the executive collapse counterterror and immigration powers into a single deportation lever. — It signals a major expansion of executive power over immigration via national‑security statutes, with due‑process and civil‑liberties implications.
