Neighbors Not Enemies Act

The Neighbors Not Enemies Act (S 1747) repeals sections 50 U.S.C. 21-24, which formed the Alien Enemies Act - a law permitting the president to detain or deport non-citizens from enemy nations during wartime. This repeal removes a specific wartime authority from U.S. law, directly affecting the executive branch's legal powers during conflicts and non-citizens potentially subject to such actions. The bill does not create new policies but eliminates an existing legal provision without altering other immigration or national security statutes. It focuses solely on repealing this historical wartime measure, with no new requirements or affected groups beyond the scope of the repealed law.
