I wonder. Had he gotten out and seen more... Had he better English so he could interact more... Had he not been so, so angry and focused on defying his relatives... Karen

From: FreeElian@capitalismmagazine.org \| Block address Subject: Last minute effort to save Elian Add Addresses John B. Thompson, Attorney 1172 South Dixie Highway, Suite 111 Coral Gables, Florida 33146-2750 Phone: 305-666-4366 Fax: 305-666-7275 E-Mail: Jackpeace@aol.com June 26, 2000 The Honorable K. Michael Moore United States District Court Judge Southern District of Florida 99 N.E. Fourth Street, Suite 1168 Miami, Florida 33132 VIA HAND DELIVERY RE: Gonzalez v. Reno, et alia Your Honor: Friday evening I attended here in Miami a dinner organized by Cuban Americans to honor Donato Dalrymple, who helped rescue Elian Gonzalez from the sea. Given the Eleventh Circuit's ruling earlier that day, there were many tears in hundreds of eyes in a roomful of broken hearts. These people love this country but distrust their government. One reason for the distrust is that your decision refusing to grant Elian an asylum hearing was procured through fraud. This is not your fault. Key documents discovered through a FOIA request by Judicial Watch, a public interest law firm located in Washington with an office in Miami, show the Clinton-Gore Administration's collusion with the Castro regime to subvert the asylum laws and regulations of this country. These documents were hidden by the Immigration and Naturalization Service because the INS knew that if disclosed they could impact your deliberations. This sleight of hand by the government helped secure your ruling fraudulently, and it should be set aside as the proceedings before you were a sham. I represent no party in this matter, nor does Judicial Watch, so I ask you to do this sua sponte, on your own motion, since you have always shown a concern for the legitimacy of your orders. Kendall Coffey and the legal team he heads purportedly on behalf of Elian Gonzalez cannot be counted upon to raise this fraud issue for reasons that are painfully obvious to tens of thousands of citizens within Miami's Cuban-American community. I need not burden you now with the reasons for this breakdown in what is supposed to be an adversarial process, in whose integrity I know you are interested. I ask you, I beg you, not only for the boy but for those who want not only to love this country but also to trust its judicial institutions, a) to order an evidentiary hearing into the government's misconduct in this case, and b) to enjoin Elian's deportation until you may reconsider the issues based on the newly discovered evidence. As you know, you, as the trial court in this matter, can do that without the approval of the Supreme Court. In the parable of the persistent widow, found in Scripture at Luke 18:1-8, a judge who hears the cries, day and night, of one seeking justice, eventually agrees to hear her plea. We ask you to do the same. As I deliver you this letter, there are many individuals, maybe hundreds, standing outside this federal courthouse right now who accompanied me here today to underscore their "cries seeking justice." Hear their cries. Your Honor, the government of the United States has perpetrated a fraud upon this court in proceedings rendered a sham by its deception. If Elian Gonzalez leaves on Wednesday to return to his Caribbean Alcatraz, any subsequent inquiry into this fraud will certainly be of no use to this little boy. When he is gone, it is too late for justice.
