The Alien and Sedition Acts were unpopular with many people because they restricted the rights of immigrants and limited freedom of speech and press. The acts allowed the government to deport immigrants and to prosecute anyone who spoke out against the government. This was seen as a violation of the First Amendment rights of citizens and immigrants alike.
