Week 5

One thing that bothered me was the fact that Nassir may not be able to have access to legal counsel. As an American citizen we have the right to legal counsel which is a Constitutional right (the sixth amendment to be specific). I don't feel it is right to detain an American citizen based on suspicion of something. This man was coming back from vacation and he was detained as soon as he stepped off the airplane. He is being treated as if he is stepping into the country for the very first time and has a sign hanging around his neck saying he's here to blow the airport up. I understand that this is a matter of national security but the government is definitely taking this too far.
