He was detained shortly after his final appeal was rejected on March 18, 2009, and his classmates and professors were baffled by his disappearance until Professor Baber Johansen, acting director of the Harvard Law School Islamic Legal Studies Program, found out where his student was from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement a few weeks later. It is surprising that this student, clearly not a criminal, is in prison at all; he joins the 32,000 non-citizens...

And take the time to talk...
...Baber: Do not race around to contact people. Take 20 days before you start to job hunt again. Eat healthy, exercise and take the time to reassure your significant other. Getting laid off can lead to a series of emotions not unlike mourning, and spouses feel that, too. You have to get through the emotional reaction. This is advice based on research of people who took 20 days and wrote daily about their feelings.
