Bill Summary
A BILL To repeal the Alien Enemies Act, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill seeks to repeal the Alien Enemies Act, which is a historical statute dating back to the Revised Statutes of the United States that allowed for the detention and potential deportation of foreign nationals during times of war or national emergency. By specifically repealing sections 4067 through 4070 (currently codified at 50 U.S.C. 21-24), the bill would eliminate a legal framework that has been criticized for potentially enabling discriminatory treatment of non-citizens based on their national origin during periods of international conflict. The bill's title, "Neighbors Not Enemies Act," suggests an intent to promote more inclusive and humane treatment of foreign nationals in the United States, moving away from laws that could be used to target or marginalize individuals based on their citizenship status during times of perceived national security threats.
