The U.S. Department of Justice commemorated the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, highlighting how the attacks transformed its mission and national security priorities. The department emphasized reorganizing to prioritize counterterrorism alongside traditional law enforcement duties, fostering interagency collaboration and creating the National Security Division in 2006. It acknowledged the ongoing challenge of balancing security measures with civil liberties, noting strengthened protections for privacy and constitutional rights. The DOJ also honored employees who responded to the attacks and those who dedicated their careers to preventing future threats. As terrorism evolves alongside new challenges like cyber threats, the department reaffirmed its commitment to protecting Americans, upholding the Constitution, and ensuring justice, honoring the victims and first responders whose sacrifices shaped its mission.
