Crossing Jordan takes on the Patriot Act and Homeland Security. |
|
Bug, a naturalized American, Hindu, is arrested by Homeland Security and held without a lawyer, no way to contact his friends, anything. The friends find out, and also find out that Bug is the victim of identity theft. HS refuses to back down or let him go, even though they clearly want someone else.
One of the characters brings up Charles I, who ruled with Parliament, with the star chamber, and no recourse to justice. "Sound familiar?" he asks.
