Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump · ¶450

In Hamdi, the Government militarily detained in the United States an American citizen who had taken up arms with the Taliban. 542 U. S., at 510–511. The plaintiff Hamdi argued, among other things, that the AUMF generally authorized the use of force but did not specifically authorize military detention, at least detention of American- citizen enemy combatants in the United States. See id., at 515–517. He contended that his military detention was therefore illegal.
