Free Slick Rick
INFO: Immigration and Naturalization officers arrested Rick "Slick Rick" Walters and charged him with leaving the United States and illegally re-entering while performing aboard a cruise ship visiting Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands in July. Mr. Walters was denied bail because the INS considers him a "flight risk". Mr. Walters remains held at the INS center in Brandenton.
Dear Mr. Bulger:
We believe that Rick Walters, better known as Hip Hop artist Slick Rick, should be granted bond and released from INS Detention while his case is being argued in court. There is nothing in his history that suggests that he is a flight risk. On the contrary, during the six-and-a-half years since he was released from prison, Mr. Walters has always cooperated with judicial and prison authorities. He is a longtime resident of the Bronx, New York, USA and he should be allowed to return there to live with his wife and children until his legal problems are resolved.
Thank you.
