Purpose and Summary

Chamber: House

Introduced date: 2025-01-22

Bill 119 HR 630, also known as the Alien Enemies Act Repeal Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The main purpose of this bill is to repeal the Alien Enemies Act, which was originally enacted in 1798 during a time of war with France. The Alien Enemies Act allows the government to detain and deport individuals who are considered to be enemies of the United States during times of war. The bill aims to remove this outdated and potentially unconstitutional law, as it is seen as a violation of civil liberties and due process rights. The repeal of the Alien Enemies Act would ensure that individuals are not unfairly targeted or discriminated against based on their nationality or perceived allegiance. In addition to repealing the Alien Enemies Act, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes, although specific details on these purposes are not provided in the summary. Overall, the bill seeks to uphold the principles of fairness, equality, and justice for all individuals, regardless of their background or nationality.
