Some had speculated that the government was “out to get” him for his representa tion of the Cubans and his con gressional testimony, but he denied that there was any Washington- based effort to pursue him for his pro bono work, choosing rather to believe that lower-level officials were trying to use his case as a means to scare the immigration bar and their clients into not pursu ing legitimate claims for immigra tion benefits. Simultaneously with the dismis sal of the charges against Schwartz it was announced that the investi gations of immigration attorneys were being halted until the estab lishment of Washington guidelines. AILA is the more-than-2.000- member Washington-based national bar group interested in immigra tion and nationality law and its administration. It is an affiliate of the American Bar Association, which has honored AILA for its participation in free legal programs to assist indigent aliens and ref ugees.
