About The Book

In an ironic reversal of the American dream a staggering 20000 members of the immigrant community of Midwood Brooklyn (known as Little Pakistan) voluntarily left the United States after 9/11. Tram Nguyen reveals the human cost of the domestic war on terror and examines the impact of post-9/11 policies on people targeted because of immigration status nationality and religion. Nguyen’s evocative narrative reporting--about the families detainees local leaders community advocates and others living on the front lines--tells the stories of people who witnessed and experienced firsthand the unjust detainment or deportation of family members friends and neighbors. We meet Mohammad Butt who died in detention in New Jersey and the Saleems who flee Queens for Canada. We even follow a self-proclaimed ’citizen patroller’ who monitors and detains immigrants on the U.S.-Mexico border.. We Are All Suspects Now in the words of Mike Davis “takes us inside a dark world . . . where the American Dream is fast turning into a nightmare and suggests proactive responses to stop our growing climate of xenophobia intimidation and discrimination.
