Welcome to the website for We Are All Suspects Now: Untold Stories from Immigrant Communities After 9/11.

Four years have passed since two planes brought down the World Trade Center, changing New York city, our country and the world irreparably. As we look back this September, it is imperative that we also look forward. The erosion of civil liberties and rise in racial profiling facing foreign born Americans in 2005 is an urgent issue. Tram Nguyen's new book, We Are All Suspects Now: Untold Stories from Immigrant Communities After 9/11 provides an excellent platform to discuss these critical issues.

We Are All Suspects Now reveals the human cost of the domestic war on terror and examines the impact of post 9/11 policies on those targeted because of immigration status, nationality, and religion. Ms. Nguyen's evocative narrative reporting—about the families, detainees, local leaders, community advocates, and others—is from those living, and suffering, on the front lines.

Through her thorough investigative research, we meet Mohammad Butt, the first person to die inside detention after September 11, 2001, the Saleems who fled Queens for Canada, and even "Minutemen" ringleader Chris Simcox whose vigilante group has gained attention for monitoring and detaining immigrants on the US-Mexico border.   The book features a foreword by novelist Edwidge Danticat.
