Posted: Dec 8th, '15, 13:25
Put on the books in 1798 and still in effect today. It basically allows anyone associated with that government or nation in question (aka ISIS) to be detained or deported:

This act has been used in WW1, WW2 against Germans, French and Japanese, in a fairly civil manner, and today they are some of our most integrated citizens and strongest allies.Whenever there is a declared war between the United States and any foreign nation or government, or any invasion or predatory incursion is perpetrated, attempted or threatened against the territory of the United States by any foreign nation or government, and the President makes public proclamation of the event, all natives, citizens, denizens, or subjects of the hostile nation or government, being of the age of fourteen years and upward, who shall be within the United States and not actually naturalized, shall be liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured, and removed as alien enemies. The President is authorized in any such event, by his proclamation thereof, or other public act, to direct the conduct to be observed on the part of the United States, toward the aliens who become so liable; the manner and degree of the restraint to which they shall be subject and in what cases, and upon what security their residence shall be permitted, and to provide for the removal of those who, not being permitted to reside within the United States, refuse or neglect to depart therefrom; and to establish any other regulations which are found necessary in the premises and for the public safety.

"I just hear this business about it being 'un-American,'" Lord lamented Tuesday to CNN host Chris Cuomo, before echoing The Donald. "Franklin Roosevelt got his authority to [make the proclamations] from what is called the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, signed into law by John Adams. It is still on the books this minute."
Lord then used the opportunity to flip the script on Trump's opponents. "Senator Graham has been in Congress for how many decades. Why hasn't he repealed the law? According to Senator Graham, because this law is on the book and was used first against French immigrants, then British immigrants, then eventually German, Italian and Japanese immigrants, he, Senator Graham, is a xenophobe and a racist and a bigot because he lets this thing sit there. And it is sitting there in the presidency of Barack Obama 217 years later."
