FBI Reliance on Unreliable Tipsters Upends Suspect's Lives
We're heartenend to see major media like the New York Times pay some attention to the inequities in the feds' immigrant roundup policies.
The Times reports that the FBI has relied on dubious tipsters for information that has led to the arrests and detention of many immigrants. The problems aren't over for the immigrants when they are released, because their names are still entered in a national crime registry as having been arrested for terrorism, even if they were never charged with a crime, which in turn results in their being denied housing, employment and even airplane tickets.
It's a long article, with lots of horror stories.
