Mass-arrest of hundreds of Middle Eastern foreigners in southern
California (Op-Ed)

Between 500 and 700 men (some reports put the number as high as 1000),
mostly of Iranian nationality, were arrested by American immigration
officials in southern California when they showed up to register
themselves in compliance with new immigration rules.
Recently enacted changes in American immigration rules require that all
male foreigners from many Arab or Middle Eastern countries who are aged 16
and over and are not naturalised U.S. citizens to register with
authorities. This registration and fingerprinting process is part of the
comprehensive National Security Entry-Exit Registration System, a
police-state initiative announced by the Justice Department last June,
directed at immigrants and visitors from nations which supposedly pose a
high "terrorism" threat.
