The President can stop an unlicensed submarine cable from being landed. If a cable is being landed or operated without a license, a federal district court can issue an injunction to stop the landing, stop the operation, or force the cable's removal, at the government's request.
The President is empowered to prevent the landing of any cable about to be landed in violation of sections 34 to 39 of this title. When any such cable is about to be or is landed or is being operated without a license, any district court of the United States exercising jurisdiction in the district in which such cable is about to be or is landed, or any district court of the United States having jurisdiction of the parties, shall have jurisdiction, at the suit of the United States, to enjoin the landing or operation of such cable or to compel, by injunction, the removal thereof.
