U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 21. Restraint, regulation, and removal
Whenever there is a declared war between the United States and
any foreign nation or government, or any invasion or predatory
incursion is perpetrated, attempted or threatened against the
territory of the United States by any foreign nation or government,
and the President makes public proclamation of the event, all
natives, citizens, denizens, or subjects of the hostile nation or
government, being of the age of fourteen years and upward, who
shall be within the United States and not actually naturalized,
shall be liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured, and removed
as alien enemies. The President is authorized in any such event, by
his proclamation thereof, or other public act, to direct the
conduct to be observed on the part of the United States, toward the
aliens who become so liable; the manner and degree of the restraint
to which they shall be subject and in what cases, and upon what
security their residence shall be permitted, and to provide for the
removal of those who, not being permitted to reside within the
United States, refuse or neglect to depart therefrom; and to
establish any other regulations which are found necessary in the
premises and for the public safety.
