America’s Disappeared 12:00, 2002 (Ref: NA02260)

Description

More than a thousand Americans have been detained since September 11th – many kept in secret without evidence or without trial.

So far only one person has been charged with any involvement with the events of September 11th.

The White House says its priority is to prevent any more terrorist attacks. A new Justice Department order could prevent states from getting any information on who is being held.

We report from Indiana where there is growing discontent, not just from civil liberty groups, but America’s heartlands too. We tracked down several new immigrants who found themselves under investigation and even facing deportation.
