Abstract
This chapter analyses the United States response to the 11th's September horrific loss of life and the civil rights impacts of the measures taken in the name of national security. The "war on terror" has resulted in across-the-board civil rights deprivations. Arabs and Muslims non-citizens were the initial targets. However, the security measures also have affected all immigrants -and, for that matter, U.S. citizens as well.
