The available evidence suggests there is confusion and contradictory information surrounding whether President Trump personally signed the recent proclamation invoking the Alien Enemies Act to deport certain Venezuelan migrants. Trump claims he did not sign it, stating "I don't know when it was signed, because I didn't sign it." However, the proclamation published in the Federal Register bears Trump's signature. The White House later claimed Trump was referring to the original 1798 law, not the recent proclamation citing that law. But the president's own remarks about Secretary of State Rubio being involved and stating "other people handled it" seem to contradict that explanation. This raises concerns about whether the president is fully aware of or remembers the executive actions being taken under his authority. Therefore, I urge a thorough investigation into the circumstances around this proclamation's approval and signing process. There should be transparency into what role, if any, the president had in its drafting and issuance. The public deserves clarity on the extent of the president's involvement or lack thereof in consequential policy decisions made in the name of his administration. Asserting contradictory facts demands accountability through an impartial inquiry to determine the truth.
