to Sword of Islam - deportation of Muslims

I sure cannot provide you with the information you seek, Sword. However, maybe you should contact our former Vice President, Al Gore. Wasn't he in Saudi Arabia of all places a couple of weeks ago telling the whole Middle East that we were rounding up Muslims right and left and throwing them into internment camps after 9/11? Maybe he's got your answers.

Seriously, though, I think this is another one of those things that start out with a shread of truth, and then get blown up into something completely false. I believe that after 9/11 we started looking at who was here on what kind of visa. I believe that some people might have been shown the door because their visas had expired and they were thus in the country illegally. Those actions were entirely appropriate IMO.
