AFFIDAVIT FOR MATERIAL WITNESS

BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority, personally came and appeared the undersigned Agent, who being first duly sworn, deposed, and said:

Testimony of the following persons is material in criminal proceedings against the defendant(s) named above. Designation and detention as material witnesses under 18 U.S.C. Section 3144 is requested for:

____________________________________	____________________________________

These material witnesses are citizens of Mexico, and have admitted belonging a class of aliens who are deportable, and to being illegally within the United States. Should they be released and returned to their native country, they will likely not be subject to be subpoenaed to the United States. Thus, it would be impracticable to secure their presence at such time as the case is called for trial so we request they be held as material witnesses.
