First they came for the Islamic Fundamentalists
and I did not speak out
because I was not an Islamic Fundamentalist.
Then they came for those from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Sudan
and I did not speak out
because I was not from those countries
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

The INS has detained hundreds of individuals from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Sudan who voluntarily went to the INS office to register. Ms. Banafsheh Akhlaghi, an attorney from San Francisco, reports that the detainees have been treated inhumanely: shackled, standing for hours, no drinking water, 2-3 hours sleep, and confinement. Last Wednesday 12/18, thousands of people demonstrated in front of the U.S. Federal Building in Los Angeles. Thanks to the hard work and passion of these people who peacefully voiced their concerns, many of the detainees of the Los Angeles branch of the INS have been released, many without bail. However, detainees are still in jail, some since Dec. 5th, in other regions.
