[19:49] Why thousands of migrants are being detained by the U.S. as witnesses
Over the past 20 years, tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants have been sent to jail and held as potential witnesses in human smuggling cases, many for six months or longer. A New York Times investigation examined this largely overlooked aspect of the immigration debate. Sarah Cutler, the lead author of the investigation, joins John Yang to discuss.

[20:07] A New York Times investigation examined this largely overlooked aspect of the immigration debate. They found that the Material Witness Law has been administered haphazardly, often with little regard for the constitutional rights that apply to all people inside U.S. borders.
[* 合衆国憲法に規定された権利は、国籍に関係なく、米国内にいる人すべてに保障される。しかし、そんなことはお構いなしにMaterial Witness Law(重要証人法)は使われている、ということ ]
[20:35] Yes, that was a really tough story. This was a woman who was 26, came from Guatemala to seek asylum in the United States. She was chosen, selected as a witness. And while she was detained, she gave birth. She gave birth zip-tied with U.S. marshals standing watch in the hospital. And after three days, three days after the birth, she was forced to give up her child. Her sister was going to come pick up the child. And she wasn't reunited with the child for another two months.
[* to zip-tie = 結束バンドでしばる ]
[21:30] Right. This is -- actually the Material Witness Law is very old. [* Material Witness Lawとは何かを説明した部分 ] It goes back to George Washington's presidency. And the original intent, or many of its uses, have been in cases where a witness may be afraid of a defendant, may not want to testify, perhaps a situation like gang violence. But basically, the law says if a witness has material, very important information and there's reason to believe the witness won't come to trial, then that is sufficient to hold a witness in jail. So in this situation, because these folks are undocumented, the claim is that they either will flee and won't show up to trial or they might actually be deported before the trial takes place. So there is a bit of a disconnect between the courts and immigration -- the idea that you might be deported before the courts are done with you.
