Detainment: "This blog is a response to the detention of two 16-year-old girls in late March, 2005. They were taken from their families, had their possessions searched, jailed, and smeared in the media as 'terrorist' threats by some U.S. government officials. Meanwhile, other government officials said 'Nobody here believes they are wanna-be suicide bombers' and 'We're not spun up about this case.' They are being subjected to secret legal proceedings closed from the public and the media in which they do not have access to the evidence used against them. As with so many other of the 100,000 plus immigrants targeted through religious profiling in the past three years and the 1.5 million other immigrants who have been deported in the past 10 years, we are seeing lives, families, and decency being destroyed.
