Although proponents of the bill have argued that there are no known abuses of the new law enforcement powers granted by the PATRIOT Act. because of the way the law is written. Congress has no way to know whether or not abuses have occurred. We do know that hundreds of immigrants and citizens have been detained or spied on for no reason other than their religion or nationality. Also. more than 200 libraries have been asked to turn over their records to law enforcement officials. and the sneak and peak search provision has been used at least 248 times to search homes and offices without notifying the occupants. The USA PATRIOT Act threatens the rights of all Americans.
