From the image website, I found that Suman Raghunathan, of the New York Immigration Coalition, yells during a protest marking the anniversary of the Immigration and Naturalization Service’s special registration program November 17, 2003 in New York City. The post-9/11 program requires men from mostly Arab and Muslim countries to register with the government. In addition, 13,000 Arab and Muslim immigrants face deportation proceedings as a result of the program.

The image is representing the 9/11 effect in the American society. Because of the 9/11 fact, the government officials seem that the Muslim community is the outsider in this country and they need special requirement or commitment to become a citizen or become a legal resident in U.S.A.
