The article focuses on the efforts by the U.S. government to arrest and interrogate Middle Eastern students, who are suspected to have links with terrorist organizations. On February 26, 2003, a student apartment of the University of Idaho in Moscow was raided by at least 100 armed federal agents to arrest Sami al-Hussayyen on felony charges of visa fraud. The Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement introduced a database in January 2003 that will track the country's 1.2 million foreign students and visiting scholars in real time.
