    Proc. No. 2561, July 2, 1942, 7 F.R. 5101, 56 Stat. 1964, provided:
    Whereas the safety of the United States demands that all enemies who 
have entered upon the territory of the United States as part of an 
invasion or predatory incursion, or who have entered in order to commit 
sabotage, espionage or other hostile or warlike acts, should be promptly 
tried in accordance with the law of war;
    Now, therefore, I, Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United 
States of America and Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the 
United States, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the 
Constitution and the statutes of the United States, do hereby proclaim 
that all persons who are subjects, citizens or residents of any nation 
at war with the United States or who give obedience to or act under the 
direction of any such nation, and who during time of war enter or 
attempt to enter the United States or any territory or possession 
thereof, through coastal or boundary defenses, and are charged with 
committing or attempting or preparing to commit sabotage, espionage, 
hostile or warlike acts, or violations of the law of war, shall be 
subject to the law of war and to the jurisdiction of military tribunals; 
and that such persons shall not be privileged to seek any remedy or 
maintain any proceeding directly or indirectly, or to have any such 
remedy or proceeding sought on their behalf, in the courts of the United 
States, or of its States, territories, and possessions, except under 
such regulations as the Attorney General, with the approval of the 
Secretary of War, may from time to time prescribe.
