September 11 raids treated whole families as suspects to be processed and detained

Evidence

An FBI agent, the apparent leader of the group, stood in front of the family. He identified himself and asked each of them their names. He told them they were being investigated for possible terrorism connections and that they were going to be taken to Federal Plaza. He told them that due to their immigration status they could be deported. If that were the case, they might be detained beforehand. And he told them that the detention would last only two or three days. At this point Rasha’s mother became frantic, crying and screaming out questions. But the man’s flat monotone reiterated that everything would be explained to them at Federal Plaza. — Moustafa Bayoumi, How Does It Feel to Be a Problem? Being…, 85 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
