Last month we discussed some of the changes in airport security due to the 9/11 attacks. Another big change is the law has become more punishing towards immigrants.   What this means is that if you are here illegally, suspected of being a terrorist, or commit even a minor crime (for example, jumping the turnstiles), you can be arrested and placed in an immigration detention center.  In those centers, human rights are violated.  In order to understand more about this issue, download the ICED game by clicking HERE.  After you play, answer the following questions in your blog:

1. Name 5 human rights and explain what they mean.  Watch THIS movie for more information. (for a smaller file size version click HERE).

2. What human rights are violated in the game ICED?  Explain.

3.  If you could re-design this game, what would you keep?  What would you do differently?
