Bill > S193

This bill, known as the Neighbors Not Enemies Act, proposes to repeal the Alien Enemies Act, which is a historical statute found in the Revised Statutes of the United States (specifically sections 4067-4070, currently codified at 50 U.S.C. 21-24). The Alien Enemies Act, originally enacted during a time of heightened national security concerns, historically allowed the government to detain, restrict, or potentially deport individuals from enemy nations during times of war or national emergency. By completely removing these sections of law, the bill aims to eliminate a legal framework that could potentially be used to discriminate against or unfairly target individuals based on their national origin during periods of international conflict. The repeal suggests a move towards more equitable treatment of foreign nationals and a rejection of policies that could enable broad, potentially discriminatory actions against individuals solely based on their country of origin.
