VAWA Immigration Fraud

Friday, August 29, 2008

Civil Society

The Civil Society is a private legal advocacy group based in Saint Paul, Minnesota which helps facilitate immigration fraud for financial gain while helping to expedite the U.S. immigration process for immigrant women under false pretenses. Using Federal funds to facilitate VAWA based immigration fraud is a business for attorneys like Linda Miller who are capitalizing on immigrants with fraudulent VAWA petitions (I-360). The Civil Society received $798,879 in government funding in 2007 ( See income tax documents below).

In April 2008, Sgt. John Bandemer of the Saint Paul Police Department (VICE and Human Trafficking) tried to intimidate me to stop writing about the Civil Society. Sgt. Bandemer said his department receives funding through the Civil Society. He asked for me to remove this BLOG and he said the police wouldn't be there to help me if I did not comply. I told Sgt. Bandemer that freedom of speech was not a crime and at best my writing could invite a welcomed civil complaint. A complaint was made to internal affairs on August 29th, 2008. We are pursuing efforts to expose the Civil Society's corruption.

Please contact me at seansevah@hushmail.com if the Civil Society or any of their affiliates assisted you with an immigration petition and you were denied U.S. residency. You may be able to work a deal with immigration authorities to expedite your U.S. immigration process by exposing fraud.

The Civil Society's Income Tax Documents

2007 Form 990
2006 Form 990
2005 Form 990
2004 Form 990

Update ( May 20th, 2009 )

Sgt. John Bandemer of the Saint Paul Police Department (VICE and Human Trafficking) is the immigration advocate's pimp. Attaching false labels of "human trafficking" or "abuse" on predatory Greencard seekers and illegal immigrants who engage in illegal activity (prostitution, identity theft, marriage fraud, etc.) allows immigration advocacy groups like the Civil Society to receive thousands in government funding ($798,879 in 2007) each year. The Saint Paul Police department received funding through their collaboration with immigration advocacy groups like the Civil Society.

A "victim" label sometimes gives illegal immigrants immunity from prosecution and it's profitable for the Saint Paul Police department and immigration advocacy groups like the Civil Society to get involved in the immigrant's immigration process. Criminal charges are commonly not pursued against immigrants who engage in illegal activity as any conviction could result in a deportation order. People in the Saint Paul Police department like Sgt. Bandemer connects the immigrants with advocacy groups like the the Civil Society which helps expedite the manufactured "victim's" immigration process under false pretenses. The immigrant receives free legal services at the tax payer's expense.

How ethical is it for the Saint Paul police department to work with immigration advocates who help aid and abet immigration fraud for financial gain? Is it fair to impede due process and equal protection for U.S. Citizens while helping illegal immigrants circumvent the U.S. immigration process under fraudulent pretenses? I have reason to believe Sgt. Bandemer made good on the threat he made against me for not removing this BLOG.

The Saint Paul Police department acknowledged their relationship with the Civil Society and they also acknowledged that VICE and human trafficking received funding through collaboration with the Civil Society and similar groups. Recently, the Saint Paul Police department is backing away and said they do not have an ongoing relationship with the Civil Society. However, Sgt. Bandemer appeared at Hamline University just last month (April, 2009) with Linda Miller (Executive director of the Civil Society)... Obviously, the Saint Paul Police department is lying about their ongoing relationship with unethical immigration advocacy groups...

In April 2008, Sgt. Bandemer was investigating me for "Criminal Defamation of Character" on the Civil Society's request... There is no defamation of character as the Civil Society does aid and abet immigration fraud... How ethical is it for Sgt. Bandemer to pursue a criminal investigation on the request of an individual from a private and unethical immigration advocacy group he worked with? I'm considering pursuing a Federal Complaint against the State of Minnesota for obstruction of justice and denial of equal protection in response to Sgt. Bandemer's threat (denial of equal protection) and relations with unethical immigration advocates.

Judge Michael Sovis busted and never to be trusted!

Judge Michael Sovis
First Judicial District Judge
Dakota County, Minnesota

PUBLIC DISCIPLINE
Recent press releases of public discipline issued to a judge

PUBLIC REPRIMAND AND CIVIL PENALTY ISSUED AND ASSESSED TOFIRST JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT JUDGE MICHAEL V. SOVIS

The Minnesota Board on Judicial Standards (Board) has issued a public reprimand and a $1000.00 civil penalty to First Judicial District Judge Michael V. Sovis. The Board's action relates to Judge Sovis' conduct in the case of State v. Gerald Louis McDonald (Dakota County).

In 2005 and again in 2007, Judge Sovis determined Mr. McDonald to be in civil contempt of his court and issued a restraining order against him. On May 16, 2005, Judge Sovis sentenced Mr. McDonald to two days in jail, with credit for time served, suspending further action on the contempt matter on the condition that Mr. McDonald have no contact with Judge Sovis or a Dakota County resident with whom Mr. McDonald had a dispute. On May 21, 2007, Judge Sovis sentenced Mr. McDonald to two 90 day terms in the Dakota County jail and ordered him to pay $1,000 in law enforcement reimburse costs. The second 90 day jail term was suspended after two days were served on condition that Mr. McDonald never again contact the resident or any member of his family. Judge Sovis further ordered Mr. McDonald to submit to chemical dependency and psychological evaluations.

Judge Sovis presided in Mr. McDonald's cases although his wife is a best friend of the wife of the resident and Judge Sovis is a friend of the resident and his family. Judge Sovis initiated both the 2005 and 2007 proceedings against Mr. McDonald without providing the prosecuting authority an opportunity to be heard or providing Mr. McDonald an opportunity to show why the orders should not be entered against him. Judge Sovis further failed to advise Mr. McDonald that he had a right to a trial, the right to consult a lawyer or that he had certain other basic constitutional and statutory rights.

Prior to Judge Sovis entering the orders dated May 16, 2005 and May 21, 2007, Judge Sovis personally ordered the arrest of Mr. McDonald based solely on several private and informal conversations Judge Sovis had with the resident, as well as several telephone conversations Judge Sovis had with Mr. McDonald. Over the past several years, Judge Sovis had private phone conversations with Mr. McDonald concerning the resident and his family on several occasions. During these telephone conversations, Judge Sovis threatened Mr. McDonald with further court proceedings and exchanged profane and improper words with Mr. McDonald.

On May 21, 2007, Mr. McDonald retained a lawyer. On May 30, 2007, Mr. McDonald's lawyer filed a motion seeking to vacate Judge Sovis' 2007 orders on the basis that they were contrary to law and void. The motion further requested that Judge Sovis disqualify himself from the matter. On May 30, 2007, Judge Sovis granted the motion made by Mr. McDonald's lawyer, including the request that he disqualify himself in the case.

Judge Sovis has been disciplined on two prior occasions by the Board. In 1996 and again in 2005, Judge Sovis was issued private warnings by the Board for dismissing traffic or misdemeanor citations without observing the proper procedures or notifying the appropriate prosecuting authority. The 2005 citation was dismissed by Judge Sovis on behalf of his stepson. The Board concluded that Judge Sovis' actions were contrary to the Minnesota Code on Judicial Conduct.

According to public record, it appears Michael Sovis is into his third marriage unless there is another Michael V. Sovis in Dakota County.

Senior ICE attorney arrested for alleged immigrant bribes

Attorney Working For Immigration Agency Arrested For Taking Bribes From Prospective Immigrants

Source: http://lawfuel.com/show-release.asp?ID=18441

LAWFUEL - A senior attorney with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was arrested today after allegedly taking a $20,000 bribe from an immigrant seeking documentation to remain in the United States.

ICE Assistant Chief Counsel Constantine Peter Kallas, 38, and his wife, Maria Kallas, 39, both of Alta Loma, were arrested this afternoon by special agents with ICE Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. They were arrested at the San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino in Highland, where they allegedly accepted a bribe payment from an immigrant. The couple is expected to make their initial court appearance tomorrow afternoon in United States District Court in Santa Ana.

Following the couple’s arrest, agents from ICE OPR and the FBI executed a search warrant at the couple’s home. According to the search warrant affidavit, the Kallases received thousands of dollars from illegal aliens and legal permanent residents (“green card” holders) in exchange for immigration benefits. The affidavit states that the couple used two companies they had set up – Botno Inc. and Mississippi Valley Consulting Inc. – to file employment petitions with the Department of Labor and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

“The egregious acts of corruption alleged in this case are extremely disturbing to those of us who have sworn to serve the United States,” said United States Attorney Thomas P. O’Brien. “As a law enforcement official, Mr. Kallas abused his position in the Department of Homeland Security simply to line his own pockets.”

Kallas has been with ICE since June 1998, but he has been on unpaid leave since January 2007.

A review of the couple’s bank records show that, beyond Constantine Kallas’ salary, approximately $950,000 has been deposited in the couple’s bank accounts since 2000, according to the affidavit.

ICE’s Office of Professional Responsibility has identified 45 illegal aliens and two legal permanent residents who appear to have each paid thousands of dollars to the Kallases to obtain immigration benefits, according to the affidavit.

The Kallases were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy, bribery, making false statements and making a false statement in an immigration application. A criminal complaint in the case is expected to be filed tomorrow morning.
An criminal complaint contains allegations that a defendant has committed a crime. Every defendant is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty.

The case against the Kallases was investigated by ICE’s Office of Professional Responsibility and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

CIVIL RIGHTS COMPLAINT

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK

Docket No. 08 CV 01521(WHP)(ECF)
FIRST AMENDED CLASS ACTION
CIVIL RIGHTS COMPLAINT

---------------------------------------------------------------------x
Roy Den Hollander, Sean Moffett, Bruce Cardozo, and David Brannon

Plaintiffs on behalf of themselves
and all others similarly situated,

-against-

Secretary Michael Chertoff U.S. Dept. Homeland Security,
Director Emilio Gonzales U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
(formerly Immigration and Naturalization Service),
U.S. Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey,
Director Kevin Ohlson Executive Office for Immigration Review
U.S. Department of Justice,

Defendants.

---------------------------------------------------------------------x
I. Introduction and Summary

1. This action seeks declaratory and injunctive relief and nominal damages against the defendants for violations of the constitutional rights of the members of the plaintiff class.

2. The defendants violated and continue to violate the class members’ rights by enforcing certain provisions of the Violence Against Women Act (“VAWA”), the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (“IIRIRA”), and the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”). The specific statutory provisions are in bold.

3. The provisions—either on their face, as applied, or their intended purposes unconstitutionally abridged and continue to abridge the class members’ rights to freedom of speech, right to privacy, freedom of choice in marital relationships, right of access to deportation proceedings, procedural due process, and equal protection under the law in violation of the First and Fifth Amendments to the United States Constitution.

4. The class members’ constitutional rights were and are being violated by the statutorily created process in which the defendants grant permanent U.S. residency to the alien wives (the terms “wives” and “wife” also refer to ex-wives and ex-wife) of U.S. citizen husbands (the terms “husbands” and “husband” also refer to ex-husbands and ex-husband) through a secretive law enforcement “Star Chamber” type proceeding evoked solely on the unsubstantiated allegations by the alien wife that her citizen husband abused her.

5. While the process can also grant permanent residency to alien husbands of U.S. citizen wives, it is intended, geared toward, and overwhelmingly used by alien wives—aided by private feminist advocacy organizations—against U.S. citizen husbands.

6. The process as enacted into law was created by feminist organizations to provide alien wives alleging abuse a fast track to permanent residency by violating the U.S. Constitutional rights of citizen husbands.

Voice of American Immigration Fraud Victims

A unified group of American men and women who have been victimized by foreign spouses who circumvented the American immigration system.

http://www.immigrationfraudvictims.us/

Information Needed

Do you know this woman? Has she ever defrauded you? Please email seansevah@hushmail.com if you have any information about this woman. She has spent time in Illinois, California, Florida, New York, Minnesota and Virginia, Washington, Nevada, Wyoming and Antigua, Guatemala. She has traveled to the U.S. from Guatemala in the past to meet men she met on the Internet. Ana uses various aliases which are a combination of the names "Ana Gabriela Letona Najera Moffett". I need as much information as possible to pursue a Civil Case against Ana and her family for fraud. I'll share additional information with anyone else who has been defrauded by this family. Stay tuned for details proving a pattern of fraudulent activity (domestic and abroad).

Residency Seeker
Ana Gabriela Letona Najera
Origin: Antigua, Guatemala
Immigration Status: Pursuing U.S. residency

Fraudulent Academic Credentials

"Ana is making a new home in the Twin Cities after leaving her native land of Guatemala. She has been involved with early education for fifteen years—over half her life ( lie #1). The classroom has been a second home for Ana (lie #2). She gained some of her earliest experience teaching Spanish and English in her mother’s language school. She now holds a degree in Veterinary Medicine (lie #3) and Organizational Psychology (lie #4), but teaching remains close to her heart. Passport Pals ( http://www.passportpals.net/ ) provides an opportunity for Ana to continue sharing her gift."

Offer to Assist the Najera Family

If you are a member of the Najera family, I wish to help you recover the property this family stole via signature fraud in Guatemala. I'll cover the legal fees to help recover the property and will travel to Guatemala to serve witness. If you know anyone with the Najera name in Antigua, Guatemala, please let them know about the property this family stole. I can provide signature samples and signatures can be compared to prove Marco did not sign the documents that awarded the home and University Pension ( Universidad de Rafeal Landivar).

Marco Najera died without signing a living will and/or beneficiary statement for his pension ( Universidad De Rafeal Landivar ). Ana forged her deceased father's signature to secure his home, property and pension for her mother Carmen Letona. Marco's immediate family were also claiming this property before Ana forged Marco Najera's signature. Marco Najera was divorced from Carmen Letona, but Carmen now receives the University pension and the family rent's out the home in Antigua, Guatemala.

Summary of Fraud

Immigration Fraud, Marriage Fraud, Signature Fraud, Fraudulent Academic Credentials (Psychology and Veterinary Medicine), Possible Welfare Fraud ( Unreported Income), Tax evasion (Import Business) and a pattern of false representation for monetary gain. Ana secured employment at a school in Minneapolis (Passport Pals, Minneapolis) with false academic credentials and she also lied about her academic credentials under oath in a court room.

The residency seeker changed around the time she received her social security number and temporary work VISA which was later rescinded. The petitioner took out thousands in loans for a car, equipment and expenses to help the residency seeker establish an import business in the U.S. before the joint bank acount was looted as the residency seeker put her VAWA based immigration plan into action. The residency seeker was in country exactly 2 years ( June 2005 to May 2007 ) before her intentions became clear. She also vacationed in Guatemala between December 2005 and February 2006 with our son ( 2 months old at the time ) for a liposuction procedure and to visit family.

The marriage lasted only 14 months ( March 2006 - May 2007) before separation via an order for protection which banned the petitioner from the home he purchased. The petitioner was left homeless in financial ruin while the residency seeker received free legal assistance. The residency seeker asked the petitioner to help with her immigration process and threatened to damage the petitioner's credit if he did not help by writing immigration in her behalf. The petitioner filed for divorce which was finalized in April 2008.

The residency seeker was caught lying about her academic credentials under oath as she had already secured employment ( Passport Pals - Minneapolis, Minnesota) with false claims of holding academic degrees (Psychology and Veterinary Medicine) she did not hold. The media visited the school to expose the fraud and Ana was let go from Passport Pals.

Under pressure after lying, the residency seeker finally told the truth and admitted that she hit the petitioner and that the petitioner did not hit her back. I would have preferred losing an arm opposed to have gone through this nightmare. Five months later I was cleared of a 5th degree domestic assault charge.

Now I'm fighting to maintain normal relations with our two year old son ( October 14th, 2005 -971 days old as of June 11th, 2008 ) and have since obtained joint legal custody. I love my son and I am doing everything I can to keep my son in country and to restore normal relations. If you know anything about this woman that can help my case, I would be indebted to you for life and would repay you somehow for your help.

Details of my VAWA based immigration fraud experience
Thanks to Ramsey County for Digging up some of this information with their parental background investigation!

1. The Guatemalan residency seeker started seeing VAWA advocates before marrying the petitioner. She started building her case for a VAWA based immigration petition before marriage and days into the marriage. The petitioner purchased a home several months after marriage without any knowledge of the residency seeker's scandalous plot to secure U.S. residency via VAWA fraud in lieu of a long term marriage.

2. The residency seeker was diagnosed with Bi-Polar ( Type - 1 ) disorder just days into the marriage. The residency seeker did not disclose the diagnosis to the petitioner and she possibly concealed this information from USCIS as well.

3. The residency seeker had been in country exactly two years to date from her last entry before making an abuse complaint to the Police. In response, the petitioner was jailed for three days with a false accusations of abuse and an assault. The residency seeker secured all financial assets to deprive the petitioner of funds. An order for protection was served upon the petitioner and in response the petitioner lost his home and personal belongings without due process or a finding of guilt. The petitioner was homeless and slept in his car and work place for several weeks. The residency seeker demanded $3000 a month in spousal and child support, but she was only awarded $1200 for child support.

4. The residency seeker secured employment as a school teacher ( Passport Pals Minneapolis, Minnesota) with false academic credentials (Psychology and Veterinary Medicine). She continued to lie about her academic credentials under oath during the order for protection hearing. After lying about her academic credentials under oath during a cross examination, the residency seeker finally admitted she assaulted the petitioner and that the petitioner did not hit her back. The petitioner was later cleared of the alleged domestic assault.

5. The residency seeker threatened to damage the petitioner's credit if he did not cooperate with her demands to write immigration in her behalf. As a result of not cooperating with the residency seeker's demands, the petitioner lost his home, car, good credit and financial stability.

6. A Ramsey County Social worker noted in her report that it was probable that the residency seeker married for U.S. residency.

Timeline

November 2004 - The residency seeker traveled from Guatemala to visit in Virginia. We met on a dating Website and communicated for several months before meeting inVirginia. The residency seeker initially stated she was living in Virginia.

January 2005 - I relocated to Guatemala to live with the residency seeker. The residency seeker stayed at our apartment in Guatemala City a few times between January and June.

June 2005 - The residency seeker and I relocated to Minnesota.

October 2005 - The residency gave birth to our child.

December 2005 - The residency seeker traveled to Guatemala to visit family and to have liposuction surgery. She later told the courts that she departed because I was abusive.

February 2006 - The residency seeker returned to Minnesota and asked for me to marry.

March 2006 - We married at the court house in Apple Valley, Minnesota. I immediately retained an immigration attorney to expedite the residency seeker's immigration process.

June 2006 - I purchased a home in Eagan, Minnesota. The residency seeker eventually received a Social Security card and a work visa.

June 2007 - The residency seeker called 911 and made a fraudulent assault and abuse complaint. I was arrested on an accusation alone and the residency seeker secured all of the marital assets after a one year order for protection was served.

June 2007 - October 2008 - Lot's of court dates... The residency seeker secured free legal representation through the Civil Society. They assisted her with legal proceedings and with legal matters related to her VAWA self petition for U.S. residency.

October 2008 - I was cleared of the domestic assault accusation in court.

April 2008 - I divorced the residency seeker with a focus on securing joint legal custody of our child which was awared. Minnesota is a no fault state and I was unable to divorce on the grounds of marriage fraud. The total cost of the marriage fraud exceeds $60,000 and counting. I lost normal relations with my son, my home, two cars, all material assets, good credit and my financial stability.

As far as I know, the residency seeker has not yet received a Greencard and her work VISA was rescinded. I am involved in a civil rights complaint in regards to the unconsitutional process which helps facilitate VAWA based immigration fraud. I intend to take the residency seeker to Civil Court for damages and to present my case for a judicial ruling on my VAWA based immigration fraud complaint.

My Wife Became Legal and I Became Illegal

Thank you for featuring my story.

My wife became legal and I became illegal
Carey Roberts Carey Roberts
February 22, 2008

Each year the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and similar federal laws funnel $1 billion to help abused and battered women — or so we are led to believe. A good part of that money goes to immigrants who claim to be victims of domestic violence.Last Fall I wrote a three-part exposé that revealed how an immigrant woman's restraining order becomes a "gold-plated meal ticket that entitles her to preferential treatment by immigration authorities, free legal services, and a generous helping of welfare services."

One woman whose father had been falsely accused of abuse and forced from his home wrote me, "I believe the Violence Against Women Act should be called the 'Women Get What They Want Act.'" [www.renewamerica.us/columns/roberts/070912]

Following those columns I received an unending stream of horror stories from persons falsely accused of domestic violence. One came from Sean Moffett of St. Paul, Minn. whose wife is from Guatemala. Soon after the wedding he discovered to his dismay that her real aim was different from what she had pledged in her wedding vows.

This is his story:

My wife's family came to visit for a few months and they repeatedly attempted to provoke confrontations between my wife and me. Ultimately, my wife assaulted me by punching me in the neck. I did not hit my wife back or abuse her in any way.

I was arrested for 5th Degree Domestic Assault and spent three days in jail for a crime I did not commit and for not leaving my home under duress. While I was behind bars, my wife cleaned out the joint bank account.

I later learned that a legal aide group called the Civil Society had assisted with my wife's abuse claims to expedite her immigration application. This outfit helps many immigrant women to file false abuse claims under the Violence Against Women Act.

Shortly after my release from jail, my wife asked me to write a letter to immigration stating I was an abusive husband. She promised if I wrote the letter she would help me get my home back.

Instead of allowing myself to be blackmailed, I wrote the Citizenship and Immigration Service to withdraw the petition for my wife's U.S. residency. I used my last credit card to retain a lawyer to petition for divorce. At that point I was broke, homeless, and sleeping in my car and under my desk at the office.

The courts later granted my wife all of the marital property and ordered that I surrender to her a car that was titled in my name. To add insult to injury, the judge granted her a one year Order for Protection.

She then telephoned me several times, calling me an "ABUSER" real slow and sarcastically. Knowing how groups like the Civil Society work, I can only imagine how they coached my wife.

Several times my wife has been confronted by the Eagan, Minn. police for driving without a license. She was repeatedly given a warning, yet continued to drive the vehicle.

Later, I spoke with one of the officers and reminded him it is against the law for anyone to drive a motor vehicle without a license or insurance. His partner threatened to arrest me for allegedly creating a public disturbance. But I had done nothing wrong and they backed off when I informed them I had a witness looking on.

Last year I earned a very high salary, lived in a house by a lake, and enjoyed life as much as I could with a wife who only wanted a Greencard. At age 36 I had no previous criminal history and had honorably completed four years of U.S. military service.

In three days, I was reduced to living in poverty and was homeless for weeks. I am no longer employable in my field due to my "criminal" history — 5th degree domestic assault with no conviction. My house was recently foreclosed and I have lost everything.

Thanks to our VAWA laws and a series of outright lies by an immigrant residency-seeker, a law-abiding American citizen can be left penniless. All of your assets can be seized and given to the immigrant even if you are innocent of the charges.The courts have violated my rights as an American citizen and I am alienated in my own country.

Immigration Fraud for Federal Dollars, Socialism and Greencards

A feminist immigration advocacy group called "The Civil Society" and attorney Martha J. Sullivan help perpetuate fraud against U.S. citizens and the United States of America for financial, ideological and political gain. The Civil Society is funded by government programs such as VAWA ( Violence Against Women Act ). VAWA is commonly used as a business plan to bring federal funds ($3.6 Billion authorized in 2005) to immigration advocacy groups, feminist groups and attorneys who specialize in immigration fraud to expedite a residency seeker's immigration process. Can you say aiding and abetting? What about embezzlement of federal funds?

With false accusations from an immigrant residency seeker, a stable American citizen can be reduced to living in poverty. All of your assets can be seized and given to the immigrant even if you are not found guilty. You will immediately be forced to surrender a portion of your income to the immigrant. The courts may also order you to turn your motor vehicle over to the immigrant even if the immigrant does not have a driver's license or insurance.

Under VAWA and false accusations, your immigrant spouse becomes legal and you become illegal. The court system will abuse you and strip you of your rights and assets while social programs that promote immigration fraud thrive.

The primary motivation for these advocacy groups is of course financial gain. However, these groups also have auxiliary political and social agendas as well. Civil Society sounds nice and peachy, but their ideology is skewed towards extreme feminism and socialism. Their goals of "equality" are achieved by unconstitutionally stripping a man of his possessions and home without due process or any finding of guilt. Their support for the immigrant community buys votes for the likes of Hillary Clinton who supports VAWA and immigration which supports the likes of the Civil Society. The court system also recieves VAWA funds which helps cover salaries for judges and other court officials. Are you starting to see the big picture now?

The immigration loopholes VAWA provides were intentionally designed with feminist malice and profits in mind. VAWA is a billion dollar business which oppresses men for financial, political and ideological gain. Supply and demand is important to all businesses and there is a high demand for U.S. residency. Groups that knowingly facilitate immigration and/or VAWA fraud need to be held accountable.

Rewards for Evidence

If you ever find yourself entangled with these people, record everything. Sanyo makes a great mini audio recorder (model ICR-B220 or ICR-S700RM) with a removable memory card. Do your best to expose these people for the rats they are. I'll offer a monetary reward to anyone who successfully catches ( tape or video) an advocate or attorney in the act of suggesting immigration and/or VAWA fraud. Recordings ( any language ) of legal clinics sponsored by these groups would also be of interest.

Judge Michael Sovis
1560 W. Highway 55
Hastings , Minnesota
Phone: 651.438.8100

Offense: Judge Michael Sovis sees nothing wrong with an immigrant residency seeker lying under oath. Wouldn't you find it odd if someone lied about having a degree in Psychology and then recanting under oath? What else are they capable of lying about? The residency seeker even admitted to assaulting the petitioner by punching him in the neck. Additionally, the residency seeker admitted the petitioner did not hit her back or harm her in any way. It's a bizarre world. Beam me up Scotty... Anyway, Judge Sovis granted the residency seeker all of the marital assets prior to a divorce or a marriage annulment hearing.

Judge Sovis didn't grant the residency seeker the $3000 in support she was seeking, but he did grant the residency seeker $1200 in child support which she uses to fund her immigration goals. I was ruined financially and left to sleep in my car for a few weeks after leaving Judge Michael Sovis' court room. Maybe he just had to follow the status quo ( "A denial of a protective order would be discrimination based on national origin which is specifically prohibited by law" ). Nevermind the rights of a U.S. citizen. In the end the judge let the residency seeker make the decision regarding the one year order for protection, but he should have declared bullshit considering the evidence and the residency seeker's blatant perjury. There is also an issue over a modified court transcript or a negligent court recorder. I was not found guilty of abuse or assault, but I was still treated like a criminal by the courts.

Judge Michael Sovis is also featured in a book called "Minnesota Court Reform" for being "obstinate" and unreasonable. Is there a pattern here?

Judge Martha Simonett
1560 W. Highway 55
Hastings , Minnesota
Phone: 651.438.8100

Offense: Granted a U.S. citizen's motor vehicle to an immigrant residency seeker without a drivers license or insurance. I'm not sure how her "Intensive Spanish Language Study" in Cuernavaca, Mexico (1979-80) compares to her law education, but it does say a lot when she grants a vehicle titled in a U.S. citizen's name to a Spanish speaking foriegn national who by law is not allowed to drive in the U.S. Why would a vacation in Mexico 28 years ago even be highlighted in a Judge's professional biography?

I can just picture Judge Simonett in Chingatalapas, Mexico wearing jesus flip flops, an explorer's vest with a plethora of pockets, an old lady's sun hat and an oversized backpack as if she was going on some jungle expedition outside of her 1st world comfort zone. Maybe she was the type of woman tourist that dawns a huipile and goes native by day, but wore a red dress for her nights out with the men and women of the Partido Communista Mexicano. Anyway, I digress and I'm sorry for getting off track. Just trying to make light of the injustice. Wealth distribution is the communist way and I know resistance is futile.

VAWA gives more rights to illegals than citizens

Carey Roberts Carey Roberts

Attention, ladies of the world: The U.S. Congress has now granted you the Keys to Kingdom that will unlock the door to U.S. citizenship, a good-paying job, and tons of free services. Here's how it works.

First, get into the United States, anyway you can. If you're going to do it legally, a Temporary Worker visa is the easiest way. But why bother with the paperwork, just walk across the border when they're looking the other way!

Next, you need to find a man. Do it quickly before they can deport you. And preferably a guy who can't afford his own lawyer — I'll explain why in a minute.

Tell him you came to the United States to find a new life, to start over, whatever. Use your feminine wiles. Tell him how badly your previous boss or boyfriend treated you. Move in with him. If you can get pregnant or married, that much better.

Here's where it gets a little dicey, but if you follow my instructions carefully, you'll nail down that restraining order and hit the VAWA jackpot. Think of a time when he raised his voice, got angry, or told you to stop over-spending the bank account. In our abundant Land of Opportunity, all of those things are considered to be domestic violence!

Now all you have to do is go to a judge and say the argument you had last night made you feel afraid. If you can say it with a trembling lip or misted eye, that will work wonders. Or just accuse him of trying to "control" you. All this may sound unbelievable, but judges have been to lots of classes, and they know that domestic violence is all about power and control. If that doesn't work, just make something up about him shoving or forcing you to have sex. But don't claim he actually slugged you, or the judge might want to see the bruises — then you'd have some explaining to do.

Don't worry about your illegal status, because amazingly the judge is not allowed to ask. Not only that, judges are instructed, "A denial of a protective order would be discrimination based on national origin which is specifically prohibited by law." You can find that in the Arizona Domestic Violence Benchbook — right there on page 25: www.supreme.state.az.us/cidvc/PDF/DVBB.pdf .
That drive-through restraining order will get your husband or boyfriend kicked out of the house. Now the fun really begins.

First, claiming to be a battered woman (it's better to use red-meat words like "battered" rather than "abused") makes it almost impossible for the Citizenship and Immigration Service to deport you.

And now you can start to apply for a broad range of benefits — welfare, Medicaid, and child support. Remember, none of these programs need to know that you are an illegal immigrant — even if they ask, and don't have to answer.

Then you can go to the Immigration Service and "self-petition" for work authorization, permanent residency, and eventual citizenship. Form I-360 says all you need is an order of protection — so the 15 minutes you spent at the courthouse is already reaping huge dividends.

At some point they might ask you if you are a victim of battery or extreme cruelty. Don't worry, because if you look at the fine print, the law says your self-declaration is enough. That means whatever you say, they have to believe you. Didn't I tell you this was going to be a blast?

And there are loads of websites that give step-by-step instructions how to work the system, like WomensLaw.org: http://www.womenslaw.org/immigrantsVAWA.htm#25

If you still don't believe me how easy this is, then go to the website of the U.S. government: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=499a6c854523d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=828807b03d92b010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD
So it all boils down to three simple steps:

1. Get into the country

2. Find a man

3. Accuse him of abuse

And remember the Violence Against Women Act guarantees you free legal help. But your husband or boyfriend won't be eligible, so if he can't afford a lawyer, you've already won the case.

Maybe you've heard of men who were falsely accused of abuse, how it ruined their reputations, emptied out their bank accounts, and destroyed relationships with their children. Don't worry about those stories. Congress put these benefits into the VAWA law, so obviously it intended for you to take advantage of them.

You go, girl!
