DESCRIPTION - EDITORIAL - After supplying crack to the ghettos at considerable profit for the contra war against Nicaragua, the Reagan administrationnow the Bush administrationhas fostered new and chilling programs of surveillance and population control in those same ghettos. As we go to press, one which epitomizes the growth of domestic repression in this country is under way. Armed police units in Chicago are conducting futuristic mass raids, trampling the civil rights of the poor. Public housing units are surrounded, all exits sealed, water and electricity cut off, and all apartments searched, without warrants or probable cause, under the pretext of drug crackdowns. Tenants are selected randomly for retinal scansa new technological identification process which scans and measures blood vessels at the back of one's eyes then matched against ID cards issued to building occupants- Tenants are placed under curfews, all visitors must leave by midnight, persons not on the leases, common-law spouses for example, are all summarily evicted. This is just an indication of the incredibly high state of domestic repression and surveillance which the Reagan years have inculcated, one which compels us to present another issue of CAIB focusing on these home-grown abuses. In this issue a number of experts analyze different aspects of this Reagan era repression, on the federal, state, and local levels, with both internal and international repercussions. We must bear in mind the ominous implications of a regime where an FBI man heads the CIA and a CIA man heads the government. We hope this material will spur our readers on to ever more vigilance and activism in the Bush years to come.
