Wolf warns U.N. to stop immigration official from rescheduling visit to Prince William County
WASHINGTON - Rep. Frank Wolf asked U.N. Secretary-General Ban-Ki Moon to scuttle a U.N. human rights official's postponed visit to inspect Prince William County's crackdown on illegal immigration. U.N. Special Rapporteur for Human Rights of Migrants Jorge Bustamante abruptly postponed his trip to Prince William on Monday night, but said he plans to visit again at a later date. "I understand that this visit has been postponed, but I want to express my complete opposition to Mr. Bustamante's plans," Wolf wrote in a letter Wednesday. "I respectfully request that you ensure that U.N. Special Rapporteur Bustamante does not reschedule his visit." Bustamante's visit had been postponed when Wolf learned of the mission and told The Examiner he would raise his concerns when the United Nations next requested funding from his congressional committee. He did not mention budget concerns in the letter.
