MEMORANDUM ORDER

YOUNG, District Judge.

This is America's promise as taught in our schools and inscribed on the base of the Statue of Liberty: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free."

This is the reality in America today: "[It] isn't a question of whether or not we will detain people. We will detain people, and we will detain them on a grand scale . . . . It's a necessary power."1
