I just finished Little Brother: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Brother_(Doctorow_novel)

"The novel is about four teenagers...in the aftermath of a terrorist attack...defend themselves against the Department of Homeland Security's attacks on the Bill of Rights."

It took me a long time, because I had to read it in small sections due to my anxiety going out of control. It felt a little too on the nose with ICE kidnapping people off the streets.
