September 11, 2001 was a paradigm shift. The terrorist attacks reshaped U.S. immigration policy forever and this year marks the 25th anniversary. Nearly 3,000 people were killed and an entire nation was traumatized. Today, as the Trump administration targets non-citizens in unprecedented ways, we revisit some of the major changes that over the past 25 years altered the country’s stance on immigrants through the lens of this one catastrophic day. Listen to an updated episode from a few years ago here.
