Question

The Senate conducted investigations on how to strengthen the efforts of the government against fugitives from justice after prominent personalities covertly left the country to escape prosecution. The Senate invited Winston as a resource person. Winston is a notorious drug dealer who managed to avoid his warrants of arrest and hold departure orders. At the hearing, the Senators asked Winston about the modus operandi and the names of immigration officers who helped him escape. Yet, Winston responded: "I will leave it to the Senate to find out the information about these immigration officers." Dissatisfied, the Senators immediately cited Winston in contempt and ordered his detention until he answers the question.

Did the Senate lawfully cite Winston in contempt? Explain. (2024 BAR)
