Bill overview
This bill, the Neighbors Not Enemies Act, aims to eliminate a historical law known as the Alien Enemies Act. This act, dating back to the Civil War, allowed the President to remove individuals from the United States deemed ‘enemies’ during times of war or invasion. By repealing these sections of the Revised Statutes, the bill seeks to remove a legal basis for potentially discriminatory actions against citizens based on national origin during periods of conflict. It represents a step towards ensuring equal treatment under the law.
