Content: Victim Support. One of the provisions of the Patriot Act is the opportunity for grandparents to apply for special immigrant status in order to take care of the children orphaned as a result of terrorism. These were the children whose parents were victims of the September 2001 attack of the World Trade Center which claimed innocent lives and affected the lives of survivors and their families. Without the Act, support and aid to the victims and their families might not be given that much attention or be organized. Moreover, business owners who had establishments in the vicinity of the WTC were given financial support to rebuild structures. 4. Updates Law on Technology and Threats. Part of the Patriot Act includes allowing victims of computer hackers to request for law enforcement assistance to track down hackers. This has given an equal footing between victims of physical trespassers and digital trespassers. Also, law enforcers can now request for surveillance from any district unlike before when this was not possible and it was harder for the authorities to act on potential threats without violating protocol.
