They were simply at the mercy of their socalled employers. Thanks to the good efforts of the New York City Police Department. in particular Officers Phil Rogan and Billy Milan of the 115th Precinct. these individuals were freed from the control of their unscrupulous masters. Sadly. their ordeal did not end there as they face potential deportation in the near future if the VelizquezSchumerKing amendment is not passed. Mr. Chairman. it has been over 2 months since this situation came to light. yet the status of these immigrants remains in limbo as they await a decision by the Federal Government while being held in a local motel. . I would like to commend the gentleman from Kentucky and the gentleman from West Virginia for their compassion. and we look forward to. working with them to resolve this matter.
