The FBI and the INS are now making massive sweeps and arresting 'illegal' immigrants, starting with Arabs and Muslims.

On january 25, 2002, the Attorney General's office issued an initiative for the FBI and the INS to locate, arrest, interrogate & deport 'illegal' immigrants.
Under the new 'absconder' program, the INS can deport a person on a technical violation, which would have previously been overlooked. This program is focused only on the Arab and Muslim communities.

There are several things that you can do:

1. Keep your immigration papers up-to-date, organized & in order.
2. If you are in doubt about a technical violation or anything, phone an immigration lawyer Immediately!
3. You are not alone! If you require a lawyer or would like to consult a lawyer, please call the Arab American Hotline at 206-634-9001 and we can put you in touch with one.
4. Tell others about this information.

Any questions, email adcseattle01@hotmail.com or theaacc@yahoo.com. Or call the 24 hour Arab American Hotline at 206-634-9001.

The Kent Muslim community has purchased a big house to make it the permanent Masjid of Kent. After about 10 months of renting an apartment, the number of Muslim brothers and sisters grew to a point where the apartment is no longer sufficient to hold all of them especially in Friday's Salaat.

The Kent Muslim community was able to collect all the money in a very short time. We want to thank all the brothers and sisters of this community and elsewhere who reached out and helped our community get a Masjid. They all helped with whatever they could, money, time, resources, spreading the word to other communities etc. May Allah (swt) reward all of them many folds in many ways!
Praise to Allah (SWT).
