High court declines to hear 9/11 detainee appeal
The Supreme Court ruled without comment that it will not review the government’s secret post 9/11 detention program. More than 700 foreigners, mostly Arabs or Muslims, were held without charges and later deported for immigration violations. Civil liberties groups sought disclosure of names and reasons for arrests, but the appeals court’s stance remains intact. An inspector general audit cited detention abuses including alleged jail guard mistreatment in Brooklyn.
