> It seems odd to me that the Feds would target these specific 9 students so I think it’s worth the time to wait until we hear more. agreed, but its important to understand the role of the media is bring things to light, for the sake of transparency so that society can hold people accountable. While we should absolutely resolve to get more information before making any kind of decision, we should also ask why the CBP is able to operate with such a lack of transparency that these kind of stories are a requirement.

> we should ask why the CBP is able to operate with such a lack of transparency that these kind of stories are a requirement This is why we have habeas corpus. CBP has to charge them in reasonable time or let them go (though I'm not sure they have to let them into the country). There is a legal framework for this kind of stuff, though it's almost certainly worth waiting until we actually get information. Let's consider the other side: if CBP thinks it found something, it's possibly got a reason to flag some one. However, it's probably not good for CBP to then go around telling every one, "Hey! We think we found some thing on these people!"
