Inmates say prison made them watch Hillary Clinton’s speech, blacked out Donald Trump
Felons ask to join Obama deportation amnesty case, be set free

Federal convicts told a judge they were forced to watch Hillary Clinton’s convention speech at the
federal prison where they’re being held — but said the prison imposed a blackout on Donald
Trump’s speech, tuning the facility’s televisions to other channels.
The felons are trying to join the federal case against President Obama’s 2014 deportation
amnesty, saying that Mr. Obama is discriminating against U.S. citizens caught breaking the law by
punishing them, even as he attempts to grant work permits and taxpayer-funded benefits to
illegal immigrants.
In filings in a federal court in Texas, the four female convicts — one of whom, in a bizarre twist, is serving time for smuggling illegal immigrants — said they need to be set free to fight their case. They said prison officials and other inmates are targeting them for their political beliefs, and particularly their support for Mr. Trump, the GOP presidential nominee.
