I paid the legal fees many years ago--pre 9/11--for a friend detained in one such camp near Buffalo. He had lived in Boston most of his life, was a student at BU at the time, and made the mistake of wanting to see Niagara falls from the Canadian side!  Again, no criminal record.  I'm sure it's only gotten worse. Who ARE we? What are we so afraid of??? It's hard to know what action to take. The people this happens to rarely come forward with their stories, so the abuse is mostly unknown.  It's important to tell these stories and link them to actions we can take to remedy this situation.
