as simply criminals who had broken the law , but after meeting these people I realized the gangs inside are very much like the gangs in the White House . ” For example , in the film we see how D’Souza learned that most major crimes follow the procedure of plan , pitch , take , and deny . You plan to fake out insurance companies . You create a fake corporation .
This is True . According to media reports and gun violence experts , there have been more than 3,000 shooting victims in Chicago so far this year . Clinton : " It 's just a fact that if you 're a young African - American man and you do the same thing as a young white man , you are more likely to be arrested , charged , convicted , and incarceratedjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetain. " The research suggests that when you compare what happens to black and whites who are engaging in the same illegal activity and have the same criminal history , African Americans are more likely to be arrested , more likely to face tougher charges , and more likely to receive longer sentences than their caucasian counterparts . This claim is True .
Going back to the Soviet era , Russian political prisoners have struggled with the legal , ethical , political , and philosophical conundrum of being tried by a court whose legitimacy they can not recognize . Some chose to use their trials solely as an opportunity to make public statements . In the current era , one of the imprisonedjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetainmembers of the protest - art group Pussy Riot , Nadezhda Tolokonnikova , used this approach : she would come to court with short prepared speeches and deliver them , in turn , every time she was asked a question . Others chose to point to the court ’s lack of legitimacy and refused to engage with it — in the current era , another imprisoned Pussy Riot member , Maria Alekhina , made the act of turning her back to the court ’s video camera an art form ( she was meant to testify via an uplink from jail ) . Nadiya Savchenko has used both of these strategies .
“ We asked him : ‘ And his wife as well ? ’ ‘ Yes . ’ ‘ And the children ? ’ ‘ And the children too . ’ ” She bows her head and shakes it as she adds : “ We were dumbstruck . ” She and her fellow secretaries set about cutting up white food sacks and turning them into a large surrender flag to present to the Russians . Discussing their strategy ahead of their inevitable arrestjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetain, Pomsel told her colleagues she would tell the truth , “ That I had worked as a shorthand typist in Joseph Goebbels ’ propaganda ministry . ” She was sentenced to five years ’ incarceration in various Russian prison camps in and around Berlin . “ It was no bed of roses , ” is all she will say about that time . It was only when she returned home that she became aware of the Holocaust , she insists , referring to it as “ the matter of the Jews ” .
He also organized for a communist front , the United Packinghouse Workers Union , which at the time was under investigation by the House Committee on Un - American Activities . After graduating with a political science degree , Sanders moved to Vermont , where he headed the American People 's History Society , an organ for Marxist propaganda . There , he produced a glowing documentary on the life of socialist revolutionary Eugene Debs , who was jailedjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetainfor espionage during the Red Scare and hailed by the Bolsheviks as " America 's greatest Marxist . " This subversive hero of Sanders , denounced even by liberal Democrats as a " traitor , " bashed " the barons of Wall Street " and hailed the " triumphant " Bolshevik revolution in Russia . " Those Russian comrades of ours have made greater sacrifices , have suffered more , and have shed more heroic blood than any like number of men and women anywhere on Earth , " Debs proclaimed .
The report continued : “ The lobbying included attempts to gain positive press coverage of Ukrainian officials in The New York Times , The Wall Street Journal and The Associated Press . Another goal : undercutting American public sympathy for the imprisonedjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetainrival of Ukraine ’s then - president . At the time , European and American leaders were pressuring Ukraine to free her . ” This email controversy , coming from the same campaign trying to make hay of Hillary Clinton ’s email controversy .
From the beginning , Trump ’s most ambitious promise has been that he would remove 11.3 million undocumented immigrants through mass deportations and by pressuring people to leave on their own . “ They have to go , ” he said , and he predicted that he could accomplish this removal in two years . That would raise the pace of arrestsjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetaintwentyfold , to roughly fifteen thousand apprehensions per day . Trump explained his idea by praising an Eisenhower - era deportation program that “ moved them way south ; they never came back , ” he said in a debate last November . “ Dwight Eisenhower .
It was widely known that she used a private , unsecure email . How is that not grossly negligent ? Granted , I ’m not a lawyer , but 18 U.S. Code 1924 — “ Unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or material ” — clearly states that anyone who “ knowingly removes ” materials “ without authority and with the intent to retain such documents or materials at an unauthorized location shall be fined under this title or imprisonedjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetainfor not more than one year , or both . ” Perhaps a prosecution would have been tough , but everything Comey laid out in his press conference — until the very end — only substantiated that Hillary had nonchalantly mishandled classified information . The case also speaks to trust of government . Comey claimed that he put on this unusual press conference because a high - impact case deserves extraordinary transparency .
Her lawyer has argued that phone records prove she was captured by rebels before the attack . Ms Savchenko had arrived in the area a few days previously to join the volunteer Aidar battalion , loyal to the Ukrainian government . According to her lawyers , she was capturedjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetainby the rebels on the morning of 17 June whilst trying to reach several Aidar fighters who had been wounded in an ambush . Reading the verdict , the judge in the southern Russian town of Donetsk , not far from the Ukrainian border , quoted prosecutors as saying Ms Savchenko had been driven by " political hatred " . The prosecution has called for Ms Savchenko - who was elected as a Ukrainian MP in her absence following her capture - to be jailed for 23 years .
But there were some problems , some unintended consequences . Too many young African - American and Latino men ended up in jail for nonviolent offenses . And it 's just a fact that if you 're a young African - American man and you do the same thing as a young white man , you are more likely to be arrested , charged , convicted , and incarceratedjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetain. So we 've got to address the systemic racism in our criminal justice system . We can not just say law and order .
Fought for children and families for 40 years and counting . After law school , Hillary could have gone to work for a prestigious law firm , but took a job at the Children ’s Defense Fund . She worked with teenagers incarceratedjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetainin adult prisons in South Carolina and families with disabled children in Massachusetts . It sparked a lifelong passion for helping children live up to their potential . Well , not all children :
Clinton has said she supports “ comprehensive immigration reform , ” and she has vowed that within the first 100 days as president , she would send a plan to Congress that would include “ a path to full and equal citizenship ” for those currently in the country illegally . She has also said that she would defend Obama ’s executive orders that “ provide relief from deportation for DREAMers and parents of Americans and lawful residents . ” But that ’s a far cry from ending “ all immigration enforcement ” and “ open borders . ” Clinton ’s campaign website says she supports “ humane , targeted immigration enforcement . ” Specifically , the website says she would “ focus enforcement resources on detainingjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetainand deporting those individuals who pose a violent threat to public safety . ” In her book , Hard Choices , Clinton said she supported the 2013 Senate immigration bill , S. 744 , the Border Security , Economic Opportunity , and Immigration Modernization Act .

“ I find it weird that [ Stein ] would characterize someone accused of sexual assault as a hero for anything , ” Democratic political strategist Craig Varoga . “ Other than that , it is a naive comment , perhaps with good intentions , that would serve only to legitimize the Russian efforts to destabilize the West and undermine the American political process , ” Varoga added .

But his response only underscored the schisms between himself and Obama . " Did you ask if we had political prisoners ? Give me a list of political prisoners and I will release them immediately , " Castro said defensively when asked by CNN 's Jim Acosta why his government was incarceratingjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetaindissidents . Unaccustomed to press conferences , Castro at first appeared confused at whether the question was directed to him and later asked for it to be repeated as he juggled the headphones he wore to hear its translation .

Homing in on Clinton ’s deletion of emails after she had been subpoenaed , Trump pointed out that anyone doing a fifth of what she had done would already be in jailjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetain. To that end , he promised to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Clinton ’s misdeeds and the bizarre scenario involving a plane meeting between her husband Bill Clinton and US Attorney - General Loretta Lynch , who was the person most responsible for overseeing the investigation . Trump also highlighted reports that many FBI officials are bemoaning the leniency shown to Clinton .

It is treating Savchenko as a common criminal , not a prisoner of war : she is charged with murder . The prosecution has asked that she be put away for twenty - three years . Savchenko denies that she was involved in the shots that caused the journalists ’ deaths ; she says she was capturedjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetainan hour earlier . There is also dispute about her capture : Russia claims that , after the journalists were killed , Savchenko illegally crossed into Russian territory and was captured there . Savchenko says that she was seized on Ukrainian territory and then transferred to Russia — in other words , that she was either abducted by a foreign power or taken prisoner in a war .

It was remarkable that she was able to do this , considering that she had had nothing to eat or drink in five days . Savchenko is a Ukrainian military pilot accused by Russia of having directed artillery fire that killed two Russian state - television journalists at the positions of pro - Russia forces in eastern Ukraine , in June , 2014 . She has been detainedjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetainby Russia for twenty months , and in that time she has become an icon . She has since been elected to the Ukrainian parliament — and has also been made a permanent member of the Ukrainian delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe . In the two years since it invaded Ukraine , Russia has never admitted that it is fighting a war there .

“ The fact is she ’s the one involved with Russia because they have Uranium because of her when she was Secretary of State . I mean that was a big , big deal , so they just came up with this concept , so okay . ” In June at a rally in San Diego , Trump said of his opponent : “ Hillary Clinton has to go to jailjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetain. She has to go to jail . She ’s guilty as hell . ” This was followed at the convention by frequent chants of “ Lock Her Up , ” from Republican delegates .
At the heart of the operation are Electronic Benefits Transfer ( EBT ) cards , a government - issued debit card that replaced food stamps . There are more than 900,000 people who get government assistance through the EBT card in Alabama each year , and they are allowed to use the cards for food , non - alcoholic beverages , and other basic needs , mostly through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program ( SNAP ) . The investigation began in February when Gardendale police arrestedjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetaina man for shoplifting steaks and some other items at Walmart in that city . When they interviewed the suspect , he said he was boosting the items to give to two convenience stores , and he named the stores , authorities said . ” As to why the State of Alabama became the only US law enforcement entity to crack down on Muhammad Tahir Javed , this report explains , is due to that State ’s top judge becoming embroiled with the Obama regime over the rights of homosexual peoples to marry — and which this action was clearly meant to send a message to President Obama himself that they knew some of his darkest secrets .
She hammered away at Pakistan ’s “ persistent ‘ hate India ’ campaign , ” which she blamed for the two previous India - Pakistan wars . Then she gave an expansive denunciation of Pakistan . Since its creation , it had jailedjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetainor exiled rival politicians . Many of its regions , like Baluchistan and the North - West Frontier Province , sought autonomy . ( India , she claimed , had always shown some forbearance toward its own separatists – something that might have come as news to the Nagas and Mizos . )
These are not coincidences . This is a dangerous pattern . Trump threatened to jailjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetainhis opponent if he became president . It was a chilling moment that revealed the depth of his ignorance and disdain for the principles that actually make America great . It was also a window into how his presidency would change our country .
Prohibitionist drug policies have had serious adverse consequences in the US , too . “ The USA is perhaps the best documented but not the only country with clear racial biases in policing , arrests , and sentencing , ” the commissioners write . “ In the USA in 2014 , African American men were more than five times more likely than white people to be incarceratedjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetainfor drug offences in their lifetime , although there is no significant difference in rates of drug use among these populations . The impact of this bias on communities of people of colour is inter - generational and socially and economically devastating . ” The commission cites examples of countries and US states that have moved down the decriminalisation road .
BRENNAN : Well , I would maybe challenge the premise . There are a lot of terrorists who are being killed on battlefields of Syria and Iraq , as well as other areas , Yemen . But also , there are a lot of individuals who have been captured , arrested , have been detainedjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetain, have been debriefed . A lot of times , some of those things do not make the headlines like a strike will . But I think there is a effort to try to capture as many individuals as possible , because of the intelligence take that you get , whether or not it 's from the debriefings of an individual , or the material , the electronic media , whatever , that the individual might have on them at the time , so that you can sort of unlock some of those secrets that they have .
MOSCOW : A nanny accused of decapitating a young girl in her care then walking through the street brandishing the head , on Wednesday said " Allah ordered " the killing as she appeared at a Moscow court .

Vucic gave no details of the nature of the attacks planned on Oct. 16 . He also did not name the suspects Serbian authorities had found , some of whom were in custody , but said they were not the same as those arrested in Montenegro . " We have undeniable evidence that certain individuals , and they are certainly not those arrestedjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetaindown there , have been following movements of the Montenegrin prime minister and informing other people about them , " Vucic said , adding that other groups might yet be found . " We could not find evidence of involvement by Serbian or Montenegrin politicians , " he added . Serbia and Montenegro , its tiny neighbor on the Adriatic coast , are both former Yugoslav republics whose governments are seeking closer ties with the European Union and NATO against the wishes of some opposition nationalists and leftists .
Reports later emerged claiming that the apartment where the money was discovered belongs to Zakharchenko ’s sister , which the arrested official confirmed , TASS reported . Zakharchenko ’s lawyers proposed that bail be set at 70 million rubles ( $ 1 million ) . “ We are asking about two alternative measures : home arrestjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetainor 70 million rubles ( $ 1 million ) bail , ” Zakharchenko ’s lawyer Yury Novikov said , as cited by Interfax .

Instead of peace , the result would be a vast escalation . Finally , Clinton ’s reflexive Russia - bashing showed just how bellicose her worldview has become . If Trump was the first person in a presidential debate to threaten a rival with jailjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetain, Clinton was the first to label her opponent an agent of a hostile foreign power . Yet , Clinton ’s efforts to blame Russia for the Syria debacle make little sense . After all , Russia did n’t enter the war until September 2015 , more than four years after the blood had started to flow .

Cruz and other critics had argued the transfer could lead to authoritarian countries taking control of the internet and eventually censoring content throughout the world . " Imagine an internet run like many Middle Eastern countries that punish what they deem to be blasphemy , " Cruz said at a congressional hearing on September 14 .

Hopeful , exciting , but ultimately deflating and disappointing . When Hillary Clinton became the presumptive Democratic nominee , I was distraught . Months before I had written about her on Huffington Post , explaining that I despised her not for her gender -- as some of her supporters accused -- but for her hawkishness , her center - left policies , her husband 's crime bill that incarceratedjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetainso many people of color , her support for the Trans - Pacific Partnership , and her inability to get progressive on climate change policy . I 've spent almost every waking hour of every day following this election , reading about Hillary , Donald Trump , both parties ' platforms , and the under - qualified Libertarian and Green Party candidates running . During these months of obsessing over my choice , I 've watched my position slowly shift .
There ’s just a father and son taking in the history of a great nation . To think these Bernie Sanders - inspired terrorists want to take away this bonding experience between a father and his son … well , let ’s just say they ’re going to have to get through me and a couple of my colleagues at the Willard Hotel before they get the chance . If we soundly condemn Sanders’ offensive disrespect of institutions and possibly imprisonjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetainhim , it will send a clear message to his supporters that we will not be cowed into submission by a violent man whose bloodlust for respectability is possibly aggravated by dementia . This is our country , Digsters and Digettes . Let ’s not surrender it .
Swedish police issued an arrest warrant so that Assange could answer to allegations of rape and several less severe sexual crimes . He disputes that he committed rape , and the time to prosecute Assange in connection with the other allegations has now expired under Swedish statutes of limitations . Assange has characterized the investigation as part of a broader conspiracy on the part of the U.S. government to incarceratejustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetainhim , extradite him , and have him killed in prison—“Jack Ruby style , ” as he put it to the Guardian . A former WikiLeaks employee suggests that this scenario is a fantasy . “ The way he is selling the situation is completely overblown , ” says Daniel Domscheit - Berg , who worked at WikiLeaks for three years and later wrote a tell - all book about the organization , Inside WikiLeaks .
It was both fitting and chilling that the centerpiece of the second presidential debate was Donald Trump ’s threat to imprisonjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetainhis opponent . That is the kind of act normally associated with autocrats like Ukraine ’s Viktor Yanukovych ( who jailed former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko in 2011 ) , Myanmar ’s military junta ( which put opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi under house arrest even before her party won the 1990 election ) , Egypt ’s Abdel Fattah al - Sisi ( who overthrew and imprisoned President Mohamed Morsi in 2013 ) , and Russia ’s Vladimir Putin ( who in 2003 arrested Mikhail Khodorkovsky , a wealthy political adversary ) . Trump ’s apologists tried to claim that he was n’t threatening to jail former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for being his political opponent but , rather , for supposed “ felonies committed in office . ” But this is exactly the kind of thing that dictators always say ; no one ever admits to jailing the opposition for political reasons .
Hillary Clinton ’s troubled charity was taking in millions of dollars in contributions from the nation of Brunei , all while her State Department was citing the tiny Asian country for a multitude of human rights abuses , including , “ restrictions on religious freedom ; exploitation of foreign workers ; and limitations on freedom of speech , press , assembly … and discrimination against women . ” Kuwait donated $ 5,000,000 to $ 10,000,000 to the Clintons This oil - rich nation was also reprimanded by Hillary Clinton ’s State department for its various “ human rights problems . ” And Kuwait ’s policy to imprisonjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetaingays for up to seven years notwithstanding , the Clinton Foundation still accepted its major donation . Qatar donated $ 1,000,000 to $ 5,000,000 to the Clintons According to Qatar ’s penal code , the penalty for the crime of homosexual sex is up to seven years in prison .
Delegates to the Republican National Convention are divided this week over a crucial question : Should Hillary Clinton be summarily executed ? Or merely imprisonedjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetainwithout trial ? Most favor the latter position , judging from the nightly chants of “ Lock her up ! ” from the convention floor and the regular calls from convention speakers to outfit Clinton in jumpsuit or stripes and place her behind bars . But a minority would deal more decisively with the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee .
According to prisoners ’ rights organization Addameer , 414 of the 7,000 Palestinians currently held in Israeli prisons are minors .

Israel ’s widespread practice of detainingjustice.arrestjaildetain.arrestjaildetainPalestinian children , sometimes in the same prison facilities as adults , Israel ’s widespread practice of detaining Palestinian children , sometimes in the same prison facilities as adults , has been criticized as breaching the International Convention on the Rights of the Child , which Israel ratified in 1991 .
