Ex post facto?

Answer:

Latin for "After the fact". Also a retroactive law. Wikipedia says, it "is a law that retroactively changes the legal consequences of acts committed or the legal status of facts and relationships that existed prior to the enactment of the law." Which means that something that was legal while they were doing it but was then made illegal is viewed as illegal when up for trial. This is forbidden by the U.S. Constitution
