So. he put every cent of his savings in Soviet bonds. Well. when the law which said then that all Communists. or those who had any traffic with that organization which aims at the overthrow of our Government by force and violenceso the courts have heldwere subject to arrest. Joe Strecker was arrested. was tried by the administrative tribunal of our Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization. Then. when they declared that he should be deported. he asked for a writ of habeas corpus. and habeas corpus has been poohpoohed on this floor in debate as though it did not amount to anything but due process of law. But. on the habeas corpus hearing inthe court at Little Rock. Ark.. he was ordered deported. His application for a writ of habeas corpus was denied and he was ordered turned over to the immigration authorities. but while the immigration authorities were taking him to New Orleans to put him on the boat he hired a lawyer. went before Judge Borah. the former Senators brother. who was United States judge at New Orleans. swore out another writ of habeas corpus. had another trial. and Judge Borah. after a full hearing. turned him down. He took an appeal then to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals gave him a full hearing and a trial on appeal. such as they always do. and they reversed Judge Borah and held that he ought to be freed because he had resigned from the Communist Party pending the deportation proceedings. So. that settled that habeas corpus case.
