LEON HARRIS, CNN ANCHOR: The FBI has scheduled a news conference for about two hours from now in Miami. They'll be talking about the case of an immigration official charged with spying for Cuba. We get the latest now from our Miami bureau chief John Zarrella --John.</s>JOHN ZARRELLA, CNN MIAMI BUREAU CHIEF: That's right, Leon. In just about to two hours, we should start to learn the details about Mariano Faget, a 54-year-old Cuban immigrant who came here in 1960. He is believed to be, perhaps, the highest ranking Hispanic that is in the INS, the Immigration and Naturalization Service. He has been charged with spying for the Cuban government. According to federal officials, who searched his house last night and cordoned off the area around his house, Faget had unauthorized contacts with Cuban government agents, both here in Miami and outside of Miami. Faget had also had a position within the INS where he was responsible for asylum hearings and for asylum claims, which may have affected tens of thousands, perhaps, of Cuban immigrants. It's not known exactly what his role was or his relationship with those cases, but it is clear that he may have had some influence on cases here in the Miami area. Again, should know more about that at 11:00 a.m. this morning. At 2:00 p.m. this afternoon, Faget will have his first court appearance in federal court. And we will, of course, bring you details throughout the day as things develop here in Miami. This is John Zarrella, reporting live from Miami.</s>HARRIS: All right, thank you, John.
