Patriot Act Presentation
I would like to go over the basic premise of my paper. My intention of my presentation will be to inform the class of the knowledge I have received in researching this topic and hopefully answer some question that they may have. I would like to include in the presentation the what the acronym of USA PATRIOT Act Stands for and also how it was originally passed. I would like to talk about the revisions made to the act the last time it came under review.

Summarizing

The AAUP has joined the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in filing suit against the Departments of State and Homeland Security for blocking South African scholar Adam Habib from entering the United States. In October 2006, Habib was intercepted at John E Kennedy International Airport and denied entry to the United States, where he was scheduled to meet with officers of the Social Science Research Council, Columbia University, the National Institutes of Health, and the World Bank. The State Department subsequently revoked the visas of his wife and their two young children-an unusual act for which no explanation was given. Habib subsequently applied for a new visa, and in October 2007, the State Department denied the application. At the same time, it informed him that it would not give him a "waiver of inadmissibility," which allows entry to persons deemed inadmissible for statutory reasons, if he were to apply for one. The denial was based on a portion of the USA Patriot Act that excludes aliens who have "engaged in a terrorist activity"; the government did not, however, provide any evidence for its determination that Habib had engaged in terrorist activity or cite a specific section of the Patriot Act defining the type of "terrorist activity" in which Habib supposedly engaged.
Under the power granted to them through the US Patriot Act, the United States Government removed the visas of Adam Habib (A scholar from South Africa) and his wife and children. They informed him that they would deny him a "waiver of inadmissibility" because they said he had "engaged in terrorist activity" even though they showed no proof of such action.

The Government told Habib that they would not give him a "waiver of inadmissibility" which is an exception to those who have been denied visas to enter the country. They were able to deny him admittance by quoting the US Patriot Act and saying that he had "engaged in a terrorist activity" even though they showed no proof that Habib had committed any terrorist act.
