One man still locked up from 9/11 sweeps

<>



In a jail cell at an immigration detention center in Arizona sits a man who is not charged with a crime, not suspected of a crime, not considered a danger to society.

There has been no full accounting of all of these individuals. Nor has a promised federal policy to protect against unrestricted sweeps been produced.

"Certainly it's not our goal as an agency to keep anyone detained indefinitely," said DHS spokesman Dean Boyd. Boyd said the department would like to remove Partovi from the United States but that he refuses to return to his homeland of Iran.

"People lost years of their lives and families were ripped apart in the frenzy of fear," said Kerri Sherlock, director of policy and planning at the Rights Working Group, an advocacy organization in Washington D.C. "Do we really want to be a country that locks people up without guaranteeing their basic constitutional rights?"



A lot more disgusting government incompetence and Nazi tactics at link...

If you are Republican the answer is a resounding YES...

3. Exactly! And it is already happening... has been happening for five years
They call me a conspiracy theorist for saying those immigration camps are really going to be used for any American citizen who disagrees with them. And again when I say our rights are being trampled. We are doomed.
