Preferred term

Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement  

Definition

  • The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, led law enforcement agencies at every level of government to reevaluate their strategies with regard to preventing future terrorism and to consider their preparedness in the event of other attacks. Perhaps no other agency was more sensitive to the events of September 11 than the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS).
