A Web site run by a White supremacist posted the names, addresses, and phone numbers of the 'Jena 6." The site was taken down but returned shortly under another site address. Federal authorities are investigating whether or not the site is breaking any federal laws.

Sunday, the Reverend Jesse Jackson said it is time for the President of the United States to step in.

"People who believe this way are armed legally to do battle with black people and the government. So, people should be aware of this real danger," Reverend Jackson said during a press conference at a South Side church. "There's an urgency in Jena. We need the president of the United States...We need the Department of Justice to intervene before it escalates."
