MADD Statement on Early Release of Illegal Immigrant DUI Offenders
At a recent hearing before the House Judiciary Committee, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director John Morton testified that the administration has released several individuals who were arrested for driving under the influence (DUI).

MADD is focused on the elimination of drunk driving and is concerned any time efforts by law enforcement to take drunk drivers off the street are compromised.  MADD believes that any individual arrested for DUI should go through the proper judicial process and receive a fair hearing.  If that individual is deemed guilty of DUI, he or she should be held accountable by receiving the appropriate penalty under law. 

Therefore, MADD would oppose weakening any DUI related punishment.
