The "Neighbors Not Enemies Act" is a legislative proposal designed to repeal the Alien Enemies Act , a historical statute that grants the President significant powers over non-citizens during periods of declared war. This bill aims to dismantle the legal framework that has historically allowed for the summary apprehension, detention, or removal of individuals based solely on their nationality when the United States is engaged in hostilities with their country of origin. Specifically, the legislation mandates the repeal of Sections 4067 through 4070 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, which are codified under 50 U.S.C. 21-24. By eliminating these provisions, the bill seeks to prevent the executive branch from exercising extraordinary powers to label and treat non-citizens as "alien enemies," thereby promoting a more equitable approach to immigration and national security during times of conflict.
