WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2001 As the Justice Department continues to detain nearly 400 people as part of its ongoing investigation of September 11's terrorist attacks, lawmakers on Tuesday questioned a proposal to expand such powers. Some Senators on the Judiciary Committee voiced concerns about legislation being proposed by the Bush administration. They told Attorney General John Ashcroft certain provisions could allow the United Statest to detain immigrants and foreign nationals unlawfully, and deport them secretly. Committee chairman Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) indicated yesterday that quick passage of the administration's anti-terrorism package is not expected. "We want to get it right," he is quoted telling reporters after Ashcroft's testimony. Ashcroft said 352 are being held as part of the FBI's investigation. Most are being held on minor charges.
