of the Immigration and Naturalization Service was on Capitol Hill yesterday to give testimony on an embarrassing incident. In the summer of 1995, INS officials in Miami lied and deceived members of Congress who had come down for a visit. To make the center appear less crowded, they released dozens of illegal aliens...some criminals and some who hadn't been screened for communicable diseases. Last week, 12 INS employees were fired, demoted or suspended.
