This article presents information on the demonstrators, many from Desis Rising Up and Moving, a New York City community-based organization of poor and working-class South Asians, who assembled in Manhattan's Union Square on Martin Luther King Day protesting one of the most chilling aspects of the George W. Bush Administration's "war on terrorism" the war on immigrants. The rally focused on the Immigration and Naturalization Service's post-September 11 refusal to reveal who it is detaining and on what charges; since the World Trade Center attacks, the Immigration and Naturalization Services and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S., have held over 1,200 immigrants, mostly of Middle Eastern or South Asian descent.
