Speech #980213991

I am the coauthor of the amendment in title XVIII that says that any prisoner held for the purpose of being a witness shall be released immediately if a deposition can be substituted for his incarceration. That is not being obeyed in the western district. and. to this day. openly defied. I should be excited about this passage of this bill when the present. existing laws having direct material bearing on the question before us. illegal immigration. was well as just the plain. humane. legal enforcement of the law. is daily being violated in a gross fashion? I have not heard from anybody despite the fact that I appealed to the proper subcommittee. as well as to the Federal district judges. One of them has been amenable to some consideration. but at this time this sorry. abysmal. inhuman treatment continues today.
