Did you read the actual wording of Alien Enemies Act the only one thats still law? As a US Citizen born here you can't be deported. Deporting someone means "Reversing -- Travel" a port is a place where someone enters the country. I'm from here and not of a Foreign Government or power thats at "war" with the USA....
Officers and Judges can twist any law however they want it doesn't make it lawful or constitutional.
I know what your referring to with free speech but its the same type of thing as if they said you had to stand on your head for 30min a day or go to jail for life. Its not lawful and is not law especially when in conflict with the constitution it instantly becomes a NON-law and NOT enforceable. If they try to enforce fiction you can shoot the hallucinating moron when they pull their gun. Thats been the law here in the USA forever, a cop breaking in your home at 3am without a warrant is a common criminal... so is a cop trying to arrest you for thinking and speaking a certain way.
You guys on this site need to realize that they WILL go as far as you let them.

Aftermath
The hanging was widely condoned. A local newspaper, the Edwardsville Intelligencer did call it "unlawful and unjustifiable" but argued that a traitor would be dealt with just as harshly in Germany. The mayor dispatched a telegram to a senator in which he argued that Prager's death was due to the failure of Congress to pass effective laws against disloyalty. This was apparently a commonly held point of view, repeated endlessly in the newspapers.[2]
[edit] Trial
On 25 April the county's grand jury indicted twelve men for murder and the trial got underway on 13 May. The judge refused to let the defense try to demonstrate Prager's disloyalty and the case for the defendants amounted to three claims: no one could say who did what, half the defendants claimed they had not even been there, and the rest claimed they had been bystanders, even Joe Riegel, who had confessed his part to newspaper reporters and a coroner's jury. In its concluding statement the defense argued that Prager's lynching was justified by "unwritten law." When the defense was finished, the judge declared a recess and after deliberating for 45 minutes (some accounts say 25), the jury found the defendants innocent. One juryman reportedly shouted, "Well, I guess nobody can say we aren't loyal now".[3]
[edit] Reaction
A week after the trial, an editorial in the newspaper the Collinsville Herald by editor and publisher J.O. Monroe said that "Outside a few persons who may still harbor Germanic inclinations, the whole city is glad that the eleven men indicted for the hanging of Robert P. Prager were acquitted." Monroe noted, "the community is well convinced that he was disloyal. ... The city does not miss him. The lesson of his death has had a wholesome effect on the Germanists of Collinsville and the rest of the nation."[4]
A New York Times editorial said "a fouler wrong could hardly be done America," which would be "denounced as a nation of odious hypocrites" as a result. However, the Washington Post declared that "In spite of excesses such as lynching, it is a healthful and wholesome awakening in the interior of the country".[4]
