Abstract

The article focuses on the historical origins and modern implications of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act as discussed by scholars Daniel Tichenor and Peggy Nagae during a 2025 civil rights symposium. Topics include the intense partisan rivalry between Federalists and Democratic-Republicans in the early American republic, the suppression of immigrant influence through the Sedition Act, and the expansion of presidential deportation powers during the 18th-century Quasi-War with France.
