Abstract

The article examines the significant changes in U.S. immigration law and practice following the September 11 attacks, highlighting how these changes have eroded civil liberties, particularly for Arab and Muslim communities. It argues that the misuse of immigration laws as a tool for anti-terrorism has led to a shift towards a security-state apparatus, undermining constitutional protections and setting a dangerous precedent for future infringements on civil liberties.
