Ahamad Khan Rahami was recently arrested for being a suspect of Saturday’s bombing in New York and explosion in New Jersey. This is situation is causing a debate concerning whether or not Rahami should be detained by the military as an enemy combatant. Rahami was virtually unknown before this incident. Police captured Rahami after a shootout Monday in New Jersey, ending the hunt for the man wanted for a New Jersey explosion and a bombing in New York that left 29 people injured.  This man was just strolling the streets of New York with a bomb that no one was aware of. The fact that he was able to injure 29 people in New York shows just how smart criminals can be. Not only did bomb have an impact on New York, the explosion was able to travel to New Jersey which could have damaged property, businesses, and agriculture. These attacks are becoming all too familiar to American citizens, reminding us of the terror attack, post-9/11.

So what can the U.S. government do about suspected terrorists within the U.S.? Non U.S citizens suspected of terrorism do not receive a lesser punishment than oU.S citizens. The constitutional protection is the same even though he/she is a terrorism suspect. U.S citizens suspected of terrorism may be interrogated as long as no forms of torture or cruel inhuman acts are inflicted upon the citizen(s). This interrogation is conducted by the FBI, military, or CIA agents with many years of training.
