Requires the Attorney General to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate all allegations of a drug cartel inspired conspiracy against a named individual and to determine whether or not such individual's conviction was justified or if there was perjured testimony, organized crime coercion of witnesses, and possible prosecutorial misconduct. States that the President should grant the individual a full and complete pardon and restore him to his position within the Immigration and Naturalization Service if the investigation finds that he was unjustly convicted.
