By Sarah Kitchen
Of Ihff Kmprald
A 1981 University graduate is
facing deportation under the
McCarthy-era McCarran-Walter
Act, and his fight to remain in
the United States is gaining the
attention and the support of
newspapers and well-known
personalities.
khader Hamide is traveling
around the country spreading a
message that the McCarran
Walter Act is a threat to the First
Amendment rights of every in
dividual. He will be speaking at
the Temple Beth Israel tonight
at 7:30.
Hamide. a Palestinian and a
permanent resident of the
llnited States, was arrested on
January 20. 1987 in Los Angeles
by members of the FBI. the Im
migration and Naturalization
Servicui and Los Angeles
police.
Also arrested were riamiue s
wife, who is a Kenyan citizen,
and five other Palestinians. On
February lf> another Palestinian
was arrested.
The government claims those
arrested arts a threat to national
security and is Irving to deport
them under the McCarran
Walter Act, which makes affilia
tion with an organization that
advocates worldwide com
munism a deportable offense.
Hamide was arrested for
possession of a magazine, he
said. All the Palestinians were
arrested under the same charge.
On May H the eight went to
trial, and on May It the judge
dismissed the case because of
insignificant participation on
the part of the government.
Hamide said.
“She dismissed the case
because the government refused
to bring to court the man who
signed the arrest warrant."
Hamide said. "He gave no
reason for not attending, he just
said he is not coming."
The day after the case was
dismissed the government
issued new arrest warrants for
the eight people, and another
court date has been set for june
2fi.
"The government selected us
on the basis of our nationality
and our opinions about the Mid
dle Hast." he said. "We ad
vocate. as Palestinians, that we
would like to see Palestinian
rights achieved for the
homeland and the Palestinian
state." he said.
"The INS an? insisting that
we an: a national security threat
and that we should not t>e let
out on bail, and that all the
evidence against us should be
presented in secret and not in
public." he said
Through this case, Hantide
said, the U S. government is
trying to set a precedent regar
ding deportation, first within
the Arab community and then
within other communities.
The McCarran-Walter Act
also limits freedom of speech
and dictates who can and can't
practice the rights guaranteed
by the First Amendment. In
