I understand--not from direct sources--that the FBI communicated that they
might make unannounced visits to ESL programs to "review student files".
When this "audit" has happened in the past and word of it spread among
students in the programs, students have fled the programs for several
semesters--afraid, if not for themselves, for fear of being questioned about
relatives or friends. Some programs lost as many as 1/3 of their students.

Just curious.  Who was threatening?  We were being 'threatened' with an
audit 
by (I gather) the state DOE.  

I really appreciate your response and the information. 
Hope it's not quite as cold in NJ as the news is reporting.
