Raises Issues Not Previously Briefed Before The Eleventh Circuit; Apparent Clinton-Gore Administration/Castro Collaboration In Returning Elian To Cuba

Press Conference At 12:00 Noon at National Press Club in Lisagor Room

(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch, the public-interest law firm that battles corruption in government, has been active during the Elian saga. Recently, in its Freedom of Information Act lawsuits, it uncovered documents, pursuant to Court order, showing that there is no valid policy with regard to deciding Elian's request for an asylum hearing, but that instead the Clinton-Gore Immigration and Naturalization Service ("INS") had, pursuant to an apparent deal, decided to become the de facto agent of the Cuban government. Accordingly, the INS' decision to return Elian to Cuba is void and the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals must reconsider its prior order. The documents underpinning this argument were not discovered until recently, and that is why Judicial Watch is filing an amicus curiae brief with the Eleventh Circuit. The lawyers of the Miami relatives did not raise these arguments in the brief they filed last Thursday.

At the press conference today, Donato Dalrymple will appear via telephone hookup from South Florida.
