End of Alien Enemies Act: Equal Treatment for All

This bill aims to repeal an outdated law that allowed for the detention and deportation of non-residents during wartime. This means that individuals residing in the U.S., even if from countries deemed hostile, will no longer be automatically treated as a threat and deprived of liberty without due process. This change strengthens the rights and security of all residents, regardless of their origin.
