Repeal xenophobic Alien Enemies Act, ensure due process

The Neighbors Not Enemies Act aims to repeal the outdated and xenophobic Alien Enemies Act from the 1790s, preventing its use for cruel and discriminatory mass deportations. This archaic law was previously wielded to unjustly intern Japanese, German, and Italian immigrants during World War II - a shameful chapter we cannot allow to repeat. Passing the Neighbors Not Enemies Act upholds American principles of due process and human rights by ensuring no one faces detention or deportation without fair procedures. Supporting this legislation affirms our nation's commitment to justice and humanity towards all people, including cherished immigrant communities who enrich our society. I urge you to cosponsor and advance this vital bill protecting vulnerable populations from arbitrary state action rooted in fear and prejudice.
