Repealing the Alien Enemies Act: Strengthening Non-Citizen Rights and Security.

This bill seeks to eliminate the historical "Alien Enemies Act" from US law. This act granted the President broad powers to detain or deport non-citizens solely based on their nationality if their home country was deemed hostile during wartime. The repeal strengthens the legal protections and security of non-citizens residing in the United States, ensuring they are not targeted based only on their country of origin.
Key points
Removes the President's power to detain or deport non-citizens en masse during wartime based only on their country of origin.
Enhances civil liberties and legal security for non-citizens legally residing within the United States.
