Father interrogated by FBI, but not taken away

Transcripts available in the following languages:

FBI started to come over to the house to check on my dad and then they sent for him down to the police station for interrogation. They rummaged over my whole house. They came about two or three times. But fortunately for my father, Mr. Costa and Mr. Capella and many of the other Caucasians vouched for him so he was not taken away like the others were. And we have them to be grateful to.
