The feds could end this mess with a simple move: a decision to give Cuban prisoners the same constitutional rights as American prisoners. Mr. Speaker. it is always the right time to do what is right. And the time has come for the Congress of the United States to step in and mandate due process for these refugees. who came to our shores only seeking freedom. the greatest gift our country has to give. I urge my colleagues to work with me in seeking legislation to guarantee due process for the Cubans held in indefinite detention in the United States.
