    Emergency Update: 
    Last night, I talked to Ernst briefly. I told him that media
    had been besieging me again, asking me if it was true that Ernst would be
    deported shortly. I told them nobody had told me anything. Ernst himself,
    when I talked to him last, did not know. 
    Around 5 p.m. or so, one of our attorneys visited him. There
    were no unusual messages or any indication that deportation or relocation
    had been scheduled. It is now Monday, 9:40 am. 
    I was scheduled to see Ernst at 12:45 I called the jail and
    asked to have my visitor's hour verified. Ernst is no longer there. 
    The detention center person did not know where he might be. 
    He said: "Call the INS" 
    The Knoxville INS does not even give out its number.
    Besides, it is a holiday today. 
    I cannot get through to Memphis. 
    Both of my attorneys are not reachable.
