Yes, and the reason the slope is slippery is because there is no judicial oversight of these questions- no burden of proof for an administration to reach. It’s a due process issue. I don’t understand why Matt and Walter are conflating Alien Enemies with the Khalil case, the latter of which is under an entirely different statute with entirely different (and far stronger) due process protections. It’s been a weird and atypical own goal for Matt — he should’ve gone all in on the Alien Enemies issue instead of wading into the much murkier Khalil case.

I don't know, though. Did they do the conflating, or did we? I just re-read Matt's Alien Enemies Act Timeline, and there is zero mention of Khalil.

Yep. And It makes more sense that something(s) got everyone in a snit.
