Post-9/11 anti-Muslim policies persist 25 years later, analysis finds — DHS and Guantánamo remain operational

In a 25th-anniversary retrospective on the September 11 attacks and their aftermath, The Intercept examines the enduring legacy of post-9/11 anti-Muslim rhetoric and policy. The source argues that despite widespread awareness of the Bush administration's civil liberties erosions — including warrantless wiretaps and deportation campaigns — signature programs including the Department of Homeland Security and the detention facility at Guantánamo Bay persist. The analysis contends that anti-Muslim scapegoating remains a feature of contemporary political discourse.
