COURT CALLS HEARING ON ELIAN MATTER FOR 2:30 PM TOMORROW

Judicial Watch Moves To Uncover “Truth” Behind Reno’s Raid


(Washington, D.C.) - Judicial Watch has filed a lawsuit to uncover the real reasons behind Janet Reno’s and the Clinton-Gore Administration’s bizarre action in backing Castro and risking life and limb in the Elian Gonzalez saga. This morning, the public-interest government watchdog filed an emergency motion before The Honorable James Robertson of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, asking that the Court order the immediate production of all documents by the Justice Department concerning the Elian Gonzalez saga.

Judge Robertson has just issued an Order calling for an emergency hearing on Wednesday, April 26, 2000, at 2:30 p.m. in Courtroom 16 of the Federal Court House at Third and Constitution Avenues, N.W. Judicial Watch will invite Lazaro Gonzales and Marisleysis Gonzalez to attend the hearing. A press conference will follow on the Court House steps.

“The American people deserve to know all the facts behind this terrible moment in American history, where our government acted like thugs in terrorizing innocent Cuban-American citizens who were trying to protect the liberty rights of this young Cuban boy,” stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman and President Tom Fitton.
