Karen, interesting ruling. Thanks for providing the link. The court appears to have given a lot of credence to INS officials who interviewed Juan in Cuba, and filed reports stating the father sincerely wanted his son returned without being under the Cuban governments coercion. It would be interesting to read the reports written by those agents. It was also interesting to see the court neglected to address the method and process by which the boy was retrieved from the home. Undoubtedly, this will not be addressed until a future court date. Probably related to a suit. I noticed also the court interpreted the law instead of taking it at face value. It leaves me wondering what age they would accept an asylum petition from. They spoke of twelve being at the low end, but neglected to specifically define a number. Given the limited way in which they ruled, it didn't seem like an unreasonable ruling to me. I was expecting a more substantive ruling which discussed a broader scope of actions taken by the INS. I guess the fourth amendment will have to wait for another day. Michael
