Only Congress has the power to declare war. We are not at war. He can not legally use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. It can only be used during war time. Further, he uses no due process to remove these individuals. So Trump is clearly acting illegally and defying the courts. He must be stopped. A contempt ruling might be the way to go.
