Some detainees may be released back to their home countries, perhaps for trial there; some may be tried before U.S. military commissions; and some may be criminally prosecuted in U.S. federal courts.

If the Patriot Act passes in its current form, immigrants to America, including legal permanent residents, will find themselves deprived of basic rights. The Patriot Act should be amended before we allow a large class of legal immigrants to be treated in ways that no citizen would tolerate, and that violate our Constitution. Rate It!

Undermining the Bill of Rights: The Bush Administration Detention Policy Added: 27-Apr-2005 | Hits: 230 Rating: 0 Votes: 0
The Bush Administration has attempted to justify the detentions of “enemy combatants” here and foreign nationals in Guantanamo Bay with a grab-bag of court precedents and theories. The central tenet of the policy is simple but badly flawed: During wartime, the executive branch can detain whoever it wants – even American citizens – and can deny them the right to meaningfully challenge that detention indefinitely.
