The memo says "Alien Enemies" aren't subject "to a judicial review of the removal in any court of the United States."

Newly uncovered guidance from the Justice Department claims the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) allows federal law enforcement officers to enter the houses of suspected gang members without a warrant and remove them from the country without any judicial review.
In a March 14 memorandum, obtained by the open government group Property of the People through a public records request and first reported by USA Today, Attorney General Pam Bondi instructs federal law enforcement officers on how to carry out arrests on members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TDA), which President Donald Trump has declared are "alien enemies" under the AEA.
The Trump administration has refused to disclose many of the operational details
of its unprecedented invocation of the 1798 wartime law to send alleged TDA members to a prison in El Salvador under an agreement with that country's president, Nayib Bukele. The memo is one of the first public glimpses at the Trump administration's claims that it can identify, pursue, arrest, and deport migrants, unconstrained by the Fourth Amendment or due process.
[...]
Since the memo was issued, the Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that AEA detainees are subject to due process and can challenge their imprisonment through habeas corpus petitions. Several lower federal courts have also rejected
the Trump administration's claims of AEA deportations being beyond judicial review.

Bondi is full of shit, and the Alien Enemy Act *cannot* be used. The first sentence of the act as it now exists in the U.S. code reads:
Whenever there is a declared war between the United States and any foreign
nation or government, or any invasion or predatory incursion is perpetrated,
attempted, or threatened against the territory of the United States by any
foreign nation or government, and the President makes public proclamation of
the event, all natives, citizens, denizens, or subjects of the hostile nation
or government, being of the age of fourteen years and upward, who shall be
within the United States and not actually naturalized, shall be liable to be
apprehended, restrained, secured, and removed as alien enemies.
There is no declared war, and there is no military invasion by any foreign nation or government. Repuliscums/QAnon, aka Nazis, like to claim that Venezuela
is "sending" gang members to the U.S. and that it constitutes an "invasion." That is simply bullshit.
