Enemy alien policy

The enemy alien policy refers to government actions taken during wartime that restrict the movement, rights, and activities of individuals considered nationals of an enemy country. This policy often includes detention, surveillance, and restrictions on travel to prevent potential espionage or sabotage. It aims to ensure national security by limiting the influence or assistance enemy nationals could provide to opposing forces. While necessary for security, such policies can also raise concerns about individual rights and due process, especially when applied broadly or without clear evidence.
