Would it work today if "many/all" persons fitting the profile of said groups were 'rounded up'?
Hell, I may be in one of the groups fitting a profile that needs to be 'rounded up'.  |
Pete is correct.
However, if you tried to detain a single person today without probable cause and due process, 50 lawyers and the ACLU would be filing petitions within minutes of the arrest in courts favorable to their cause, the AG would support them, and Congress would immediately demand their release. We have truly lost our will to win, as well as our balls.
I would say that the way to go would be to immediately place suspected extremist leaders and religious figures under electronic and physical surveillance, and develop a fast track for detention and deportation (with an imbedded microchip) once their contacts have been identified. Track the donors and their money flow back to the source, and take appropriate action. Members of their inner circles and any potential recruits for terrorist causes should be surveilled and apprehended as they show any signs of going active. Muslim immigration, especially from radical countries should be extremely thoroughly scrutinized. No good reason to come here or any indication of anti-US sentiments and no visa. Actively track down and deport immigrants from Muslim countires who are in violation of their visas. Honestly, I suspect that you could roll up 100,000 people who mean us harm and who are in this country right now pretty quickly. Whether you could try and convict them is another matter altogether.
Alternate plan would be to see if we could go after them under RICO, sue their front organizations (like CAIR), and bankrupt them with government legal actions. Hey, it worked against the Klan and the Nazis here.
