. . . to help in the concerted international campaign to defend Amer Jubran in this FINAL PHONE CAMPAIGN JULY 21st and JULY 23rd

Call:

Tom Ridge, Secretary, U.S. Department of Homeland Security

202-282-8000

and

Rick Neville, Prosecuting Attorney for Amer Jubran's Trial 617-565-3140.

NEW THIS WEEK: Federal agents harrassed and interrogated Mr. Jubran's ex-wife and her family in a last-ditch effort to silence those who will testify on his behalf on July 24th.

In Frank Kafka's, "The Trial", Joseph K. wakes up one day to find himself accused of a crime he did not commit. He becomes ensnared in a bureaucracy where he must report to court on a regular basis, for a crime whose nature is never quite revealed to him. In this bureaucracy, no one answers questions and no one appears to be ultimately responsible for anything.

Welcome to the new U.S. Department of Homeland Security which has attempted to reorganize the Immigration and Naturalization Service into an impenetrable bureaucracy in which no one is accountable and no one appears to know who is in charge.

That's why in our next and final phone campaign to free Amer Jubran before his final deportation proceedings July 24th, we are cutting out the middle man and going straight to the heart of Homeland Security.

On July 21st and July 23rd, please place all calls to Tom Ridge, Secretary, U.S. Department of Homeland Security 202-282-8000

--Demand to speak to his personal assistant and if the operator refuses, have the operator call on your behalf and ask the personal assistant where to direct a call regarding Amer Jubran's deportation proceedings. The call will likely be directed to Asa Hutchinson, the Undersecretary of Border and Transportation Security. (Ask the operator to check with Tom Ridge's personal assistant anyway. This assures us that he will hear about a flood of calls regarding Amer Jubran.)

and ...

Rick Neville, Prosecuting Attorney for Amer Jubran's Trial 617-565-3140.

Ask them...

-Why did the INS (now BICE) facilitate an FBI interrogation regarding Amer Jubran's political activities?

-Why did INS threaten to indefinitely detain and later arrest Mr. Jubran only after he insisted on his right to have a lawyer present during the FBI interrogation?

-Why did INS force Mr. Jubran to put his fingerprints on a false confession when he refused to sign it?

-Why has the Office of Internal Audit failed to respond to the complaint against INS (regarding his civil liberties violations) filed by Mr. Jubran over 5 mos ago (the 120 day time limit on the complaint investigation ended July 4)?

- Why, after dropping all charges against Mr. Jubran except for the claim that two forms certifying Mr. Jubran's marriage were completed on different dates, does BICE continue to attempt their illegitimate deportation proceedings against Mr. Jubran?

- Why have federal agents harrassed and interrogated Mr. Jubran's ex-wife and her family in a last-ditch effort to silence those who will testify on his behalf?

- When they don't answer your questions (and they won't), provide your own answers:

Because the government has no legitimate case against Mr. Jubran and is only using the Department of Homeland Security and its subsequent bureaus as tools to politically repress and silence activists and any dissent.

- Demand that all charges be dropped and that deportation proceedings against Mr. Jubran end immediately.

- Be sure to tell Neville that you called his boss, Tom Ridge, in Washington.

- And keep them on the phone as long as you can.
