Lincoln suspended habeas corpus in the face of a real rebellion. This is no invasion: they tried that argument to justify using the Alien Enemies Act. When pressed to explain the "invasion" in court, they pointed to Venezuela, despite US intelligence analysis to the contrary. Didn't fly then.

Nope. It’s federal land. But it would be stupid to reopen as a prison. It would require a complete rebuild, not to mention connection to an electrical grid and either building a fresh water pipeline or shipping the water in every day. Incredibly costly, and not secure.
