This is what they're using, the legal theory is basically tren de aragua cartel and their drugs is an "invasion" of the USA and is "sufficiently connected" to the Venezuelan government to trigger the act's wartime powers.

The only powers this act grants is the power to deport foreign nationals without due process, it does not grant them any powers to militarily invade another country.

Those military actions are on international waters. There is no legal theory even on the fringes for invading another country using that act.
