Madeleine Sosin and Jonah Cohen protest new INS policies at Hing Hay Park, Seattle, January 13, 2003

Order an Image
In January 2003, U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft implemented a new policy requiring male visitors - including tourists, workers, and students on short-term visas - from 18 mainly Muslim countries to be fingerprinted, interviewed, and photographed by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (now USCIS) or risk deportation. On January 13, 2003, several hundred people gathered in Seattle's Chinatown - International District neighborhood for a candlelight rally to protest the mandatory registration as unconstitutional and tantamount to racial profiling.

In this image, Madeleine Sosin and her nephew, Jonah Cohen, 10, stand with other demonstrators holding candles at Hing Hay Park.
