Most of These Policies Have Been Discontinued But Legal Challenges Survive
Most of the immigration actions specifically directed at Muslim immigrants have been discontinued. The voluntary interview program ended in December 2002. The "absconder initiative" now exists as part of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's National Fugitive Operations Program, which is not nationality-specific. The portion of NSEERS that required those inside the country to register was ended in December 2003, and the program itself abolished in April 2011.
Similarly, no post-9/11 type closed immigration proceedings have been held since the end of 2002, and the U.S. Department of Justice has limited to 90 days the period for which someone can be detained when the government challenges an immigration judge's decision to grant bond.
But while the government has abandoned or modified some of the immediate post-9/11 actions, they have generally withstood legal challenge. The courts have granted extraordinary deference to the executive branch when it invokes national security as grounds for its actions with long-lasting implications for the legal landscape affecting the rights of immigrants.
