Adam Abdullah came to the United States as an asylum seeker and was legally working in the country when he was arrested by federal immigration agents in December.
Abdullah is now being held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba—in the military prison that was originally set up to detain suspected terrorists in the wake of the September 11, 2001, attacks. He's been sent there despite having a criminal record that consists of nothing more serious than a pair of parking tickets.
