This is very confusing and certainly I am no expert on the laws
involved, but it seems to me that through various legal processes
the INS and the courts had given guardianship of Elian to his uncle,
and it was under this guardianship that asylum was being pursued
as a possibility for the boy.
Then the Attorney General ignores the courts and gives
guardianship of Elian to his father? The boy is seized at gunpoint
and the peacable protestors trying to prevent exactly such a raid
are teargassed and peppergassed and the "Miami relatives" are
said to have nothing more to do with the boy and no legal rights or
no rights to even familial concern. The public is told that the boy
"belongs" with his father, although the father's name was not even
on his birth certificate.
Can the Attorney General just ignore a court ruling that has given
guardianship to a relative other than the father? Can the Attorney
General ignore court rulings? And are all parents and relatives who
have had a DUI unfit to care for their children? What will happen if
all children who have parents who have had a DUI are taken from
their parents because their parents are viewed as unfit?
I find this absolutely bewildering and am distressed that "most
Americans" find the seizure of Elian acceptable. Can this really be
true? Does it matter if Elian goes from one police state to another?
