In the aftermath of Sept 11, there have been dramatic and chilling changes in government practices toward immigrant communities. These changes have extended to surveillance of those expressing dissent or protesting US policies, and beyond.  First they came for the immigrants…derives from a famous WW11 quote, attributed to Pastor Neimoller, referring to the passivity of Germans following the Nazi rise to power. They came for one group after another until…'they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.'=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:6:30 - 8:30 PM
