The DOJ is arguing, on behalf of the President, that the President can scoop up anyone, put them on an airplane, and then no laws apply because no court has jurisdiction. Whether the person is a citizen wouldn't change that because there's no point they could even tell a court they're a citizen.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick (reichlinmelnick.bsky.social): Wow. DOJ is arguing that the President has authority outside the Alien Enemies Act in international waters "that would not be subject to either orders." Boasberg seems skeptical, asking if the president's foreign power exists only once the plane crosses into international airspace? (link)
