"what do people think? Justified, or un-justified?"

Let's see. What do we have here?

1. Haddad is evidently not an American citizen.

2. Moreover, he was obviously found in violation of his immigration/visa status.

3. Finally, he appears to be credibly linked to a suspected terrorist organization.

Now, of all times, is not a good time to be a non-citizen in America -- if you are found in violation of an immigration statute. And, especially, if you co-founded an organization suspected of raising money for terrorism.

The Constitution guarantees many things to Americans. The guarantees to non-citizens are largely reliant on our good faith -- which is somewhat strained right now.

Amen to that!!!

The Preamble to the Constitution is quite clear. It states: "WE the People of the United States in order to form ..." The Constitution is a compact between the people of the USA and their Govnmt. It does not apply to foreigners, illegal aliens, or visitors with expired visas. I don't know why, illegal aliens should be afforded the protection of our Constitution. Yet, too many clowns with a law degree think they should! Go figure.
