Bill overview
This bill, the Neighbors Not Enemies Act of 2021, aims to remove a historical law that allowed the President to detain and remove U.S. citizens if the country they were a citizen of had been at war with the United States or threatened an invasion. Specifically, it repeals sections of the Revised Statutes related to ‘alien enemies.’ The bill seeks to clarify and limit the government’s authority in this area, ensuring it is no longer in effect.
