Unpacking the Alien Enemies Act: Historical Relic or Modern Dilemma?
In this episode of Mr. History's podcast, we explore the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a law that grants the U.S. government the power to detain, restrain, and deport foreign nationals from enemy countries during times of war. Delving into its historical applications from the War of 1812 to World War II, we discuss its impact, including the climate of fear during Japanese internment. We also consider the act's relevance in today's complex global landscape and the ongoing tension between national security and civil liberties.
