Massachusetts Town Becomes 300th Jurisdiction to Denounce Patriot Act

OneWorld US - Massachusetts Town Becomes 300th Jurisdiction to Denounce Patriot Act:

"The 300 local and state jurisdictions that have gone on record against the Act have objected especially to the sweeping powers given to the Justice Department to round up, detain, and summarily deport immigrants without filing charges or providing them with access to attorneys, or, in some cases, even to their family members; the use of racial and ethnic profiling by federal agencies in targeting suspects; and/or the granting of unprecedented powers to the FBI to secretly obtain information with little or no judicial review about individuals.
