invoke

The president-elect now says he plans to invoke a national emergency and use the military to carry out mass deportations.

During his first term, for example, Mr. Trump invoked this power to spend more on a border wall than Congress had been willing to authorize.

Last month, Trump said at a campaign rally that he would invoke the Alien Enemies Act, a rarely used 1798 law to deport anyone who is not in the country legally.

King argued that Sophy’s proof of emotional distress “consists entirely of invoking the racist caricature that depicts Black men, like Young, as inherently violent.”

Trump has also threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act and the Alien Enemies Act to order a military occupation of “blue states” and Democrat-led major cities as part of a plan to crush dissent.
