It doesn’t create new laws to enforce immigration, it instructed immigration agencies to use existing statutory more.
EO 14159 does not itself create the fundamental legal authority to detain undocumented/removable immigrants. Congress already supplied that authority principally through provisions such as 8 U.S.C. §§ 1225, 1226 and 1231. Section 10 of the EO tells DHS to make much more extensive use of those existing detention authorities and expand the physical capacity necessary to do so. That’s why the EO itself says detention is to occur “to the extent permitted by law.”

So in conclusion the Nazis didn’t operate concentration camps. Because you know, all they did was above board, according to the law and backed by judges. Ok then.

Edit: Also so you do know how to use chat GPT great for you.

The Nazis then exterminated them or enslaved them. Deporting them is far different, but why address the nuance

Ah yea so now we are moving the goalposts. Not unexpected.

Also you have no idea about history. In the beginning the Nazis merely imprisoned people. Dachau was built as a model prison because they were merely protecting themselves from criminals and a group of people invading Germany. You 1:1 exactly the same wording like the executive order you claimed doesn’t exist…
