David: "On December 31, 2011, President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), or H.R. 1540, for the 2012 fiscal year. Congress passes this act annually to monitor the budget for the Department of Defense, but this year the bill included highly controversial new provisions that allow indefinite military detention of U.S. citizen terrorist suspects and requires the detention of suspected foreign enemies. The provisions also apply to any person who supports or aids “belligerent” acts against the United States, whether the person is apprehended abroad or on domestic soil."

GW Bush didn't dare go as far as Obama did. Though Obama claimed that US citizens would receive due process, his words mean nothing, if the government wishes to label anyone a terrorist, or claim that someone supports or aids another who is belligerent against the US, such as supporting another country or radical group. We dodged a bullet in 2016, but then again, groups such as Antifa and BLM need to worry about this now. Trump could have had every one of them arrested and detained them for as long as he wished.
