Post Defends Deportation Authority Before Heise Committee
Louis F. Post assistant secretary of the labor department testified before the Heise rules committee that Anthony Caminetti delayed deportations by withholding cases and that Post later made final decisions himself to restore legal procedure. He said many cases piled up in the immigration bureau causing aliens to be jailed for months. Post claimed only the labor secretary could issue warrants and order deportations and that Caminetti’s power to recommend deportations was a misinterpretation. He noted press freedom and criticized outside salaries paid to reporters. He referenced red raids by the Justice Department and said only three revolvers were found among agents’ weapons with 40 hearingees supporting violence for regime change.
