I refer you to United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in the case of Fred Estes against Frank B. Potter. Estes was called as a witness in a deportation proceeding. He was asked if he knew any of the aliens involved. and he refused to answer and asserted as his reason for refusing the fifth amendment. that any answer that he would give would tend to incriminate him. The judge of the United States district court said as follows. and I am now quoting from the United States circuit courts opinion: The court below deemed frivolous the appellants claim of immunity from giving testimony against himself.
