Arab and suspect - It has become commonplace in the US to arrest and detain Arabs, reports Anayat
Durrani from Los Angeles
Demonstrators in front of the federal building in Los Angeles - Large crowds of demonstrators amassed in front of the Federal Building in Los Angeles last week to protest against the arrest of hundreds of foreign-born men who were detained while voluntarily submitting to a special registration process. The arrests were part of a new counter-terrorism initiative by the Bush administration. Many Arabs and Iranians who showed up to have their photographs and fingerprints taken found themselves unexpectedly detained by the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (INS) for immigration violations. Those arrested were trying to register with the INS under a new database that tracks foreigners entering and leaving the country on tourist, business and student visas. The Justice Department said on Friday that about 400 people were arrested in Southern California for minor visa violations, many of whom were just waiting for the INS to finish processing their 'green card' applications and residency documents. The men were held for days in crowded jail cells and threatened with deportation as the INS ran background checks and compared names to lists of wanted terrorists. Most have since been released on bail and ordered to appear before immigration judges. <A HREF="">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
