50 U.S.C. § 22Time allowed to settle affairs and depart

submitted date unrecorded by Congress to r/title-50-WAR-AND-NATIONAL-DEFENSE · 124 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

An alien enemy not accused of hostility or another crime gets time to settle affairs and leave the U.S. If a treaty sets that time period, it applies. Otherwise, the President decides a reasonable amount of time.

This law gives certain alien enemies extra time before they must leave the country. It applies to an alien who becomes liable as an enemy under section 21 of this title, but who is not chargeable with actual hostility or another crime against the public safety. That person must be allowed the full time to recover, dispose of, and remove their goods and effects, and to depart. If a treaty is then in force between the United States and the hostile nation of which the alien is a native citizen, denizen, or subject, the person gets the full time stipulated by that treaty. If no such treaty exists or is in force, the President ascertains and declares whatever reasonable time is consistent with the public safety, according to the dictates of humanity and national hospitality.
