Walsh. and Francis Fisher Kane. Mr. Kane had resigned his post. after having been United States attorney for 6 years. because he could not stomach what the Department of Justice was doing in deportation proceedings. This report. which appeared prior to the congressional investigation. sharply condemned the raids of the Department of Justice. I read a portion of it: For more than 6 months we. the undersigned lawyers. whose sworn duty It is to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States. have seen with growing apprehension the continued violation of that Constitution and breaking of those laws by the Department of Justice and the United States Government. * * * We are concerned solely with bringing to the attention of the American people the utterly illegal acts which have been committed by those charged with the highest duty of enforcing the lawsacts which have caused widespread suffering and unrest. have struck at the foundation of American free institutions. and have brought the name of our country into disrepute.
