Newsweek is reporting that the Department of Homeland Security is considering detaining 2,000 foreigners — mostly from Middle East and Muslim nations — ahead of the November election. The Department reportedly has “soft intelligence” on these individuals that suggests they could have possible terror connections and that they may have visa violations. Such a round-up would be the largest since shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks. This comes as the federal government launches a massive campaign to increase security before the elections. On Monday the Department of Homeland Security sent security bulletins to all 50 states.
