The new e-mails were uncovered by Judicial Watch, the government-watchdog organization that hunts down and seeks the prosecution of government corruption.
The e-mails relate to several days of meetings the DHS held Jan. 27-28 between DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano and various Arab, Muslim, Sikh and South Asian "community leaders."
