Impact of September 11th Events and October 26th Anti-Terrorism Statute on Travel of Non-United States Citizens and Maintenance of Status of Non-United States Citizens in the United States |
April 24, 2009
Previously published on October 31, 2001
In light of the events of September 11th, the President signed into law sweeping anti-terrorism legislation on October 26th and one important element of the law is an effort to address immigration concerns. In particular, the new law contains broad new powers relating to foreign nationals. The new provisions cast a broad net for possible terrorists, but these new terms will not supplant the importance of the pre-existing dictates of the Immigration and Nationality Act already on the books pre-September 11th.
