News, Events, Actions and Commentary on law and social justice. Welcome to the official blog of the United People of Color Caucus (TUPOCC) of the National Lawyers Guild.
\Watch the Daily Show this Wednesday!! Attorney Shirin Sinnar
from Lawyers' Committee
\The Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights in San Francisco, will be featured on the Daily Show w/ Jon Stewart this Wednesday, October 18!! Correspondent Rob Riggle will be interviewing LCCR attorney Shirin Sinnar and her clients, a couple from Arcata, CA, about an incident a few months ago where clients were denied a home loan because the husband's credit report linked him to the son of Saddam Hussein. This man is a U.S. citizen who has never been to Iraq and is not of Iraqi descent. Nevertheless, he ended up on a watchlist of suspected terrorists because his middle name is the the same as an alias used by Saddam Hussein's mysterious 3rd son (who may not even exist.)
For those of you who live in a cave, the Daily Show airs at 11pm on Comedy Central.
