Since September 11, the United States government has detained more than 1,200 people in connection with the attacks, not a single one of whom has been charged with any crime. Award-winning author Cole argues that such steps represent a dangerous sacrifice of the liberty of immigrants for the purported security of the majority.

Cole is the National Legal Director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Before joining the ACLU in July 2016, Cole was the Hon. George J. Mitchell Professor at Georgetown University from March 2014 through December 2016. He has published in various legal fields including constitutional law, national security, criminal justice, civil rights, and law and literature. Cole has litigated several significant First Amendment cases in the Supreme Court of the United States, as well a number of influential cases concerning civil rights and national security. He is also a legal correspondent to several media outlets and publications. Cole has written eight books which have received numerous awards, including the Palmer Civil Liberties Prize for best book on national security, the American Book Award, and Boston Book Review's Best Non-Fiction Book. When David Cole was first writing Enemy Aliens, in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, the anti-immigrant brand of American patriotism was at fever pitch. Now, as the pendulum swings back, and court after court finds the Bush administration's tactics of secrecy and assumption of guilt unconstitutional, Cole's book stands as a prescient and critical indictment of the double standards we have applied in the war on terror. Called "brilliantly argued" by Edward Said, and "the essential book in the field" by former CIA Director James Woolsey, Enemy Aliens shows why it is a moral, constitutional, and practical imperative to afford every person in the United States the protections from government excesses that we expect for ourselves.
