The Neighbors Not Enemies Act is a legislative proposal designed to repeal the Alien Enemies Act , a historical statute that grants the President powers over non-citizens during times of declared war. This bill seeks to eliminate specific sections of the Revised Statutes of the United States, namely sections 4067 through 4070, which are codified under 50 U.S.C. 21-24. By repealing these provisions, the Act would remove the legal authority for the President to apprehend, restrain, secure, and remove alien enemies. The legislation aims to modernize U.S. law by eliminating a statute that has been criticized for its broad powers and potential for abuse against non-citizens during wartime.
