Lisa Rein's pulled together an amazing site with resources for people interested in protesting the plight of the law-abiding immigrants who presented themselves voluntarily to the INS to complete their new immigration paperwork and instead found themselves jailed and sent on a nightmarish Orwellian journey through the American post-legal system
The detainees, who represent wide segments of society such as business owners, scientists, and engineers, were handcuffed and shackled as they were transported across several western states before they ended up in San Diego.
There were several reports of inhumane detention conditions such as the collection of 17-40 people in a freezing 8-by-10 cell with one toilet and two pieces of paper each for "hygienic" purposes. One detainee was told to drink from the toilet after he asked for water.
(Thanks, Lisa!)
