I witnessed a detention by Immigration officials

4. Maybe all major airports need to have plain clothes ACLU lawyers near the immigration/customs areas.

Then if they see something like this happening they can act as a mediator on behalf of the person being whisked away.

This just sickens me. RDU is home to many fabulous universities who need faculty and researchers from all over the world as do most major universities. Some of the research they do benefits all of us. I worked in faculty hiring at a large university and was in awe at what some of these people had accomplished in their fields by the time they were in their thirties.
