OMAHA, Neb. — “The FBI and other cop agencies have used the recent attack by al-Shabab in Kenya to step up their campaign of harassment, probes, spying and frame-ups against the Somali community in the U.S.,” said Frank Forrestal at a Militant Labor Forum Oct. 5 attended by 16 people at the Socialist Workers Party campaign hall here. “These probes represent not just attacks on working people who are Somali, but on the rights of all workers. As the capitalist crisis and class struggle deepen, these same methods will be used more and more against working-class militants, unionists and others.”
