The scholars of the TRAC center at Syracuse have discovered a 20-year shift in federal policing priorities, as the FBI and other “white collar” crime enforcers have been displaced by ICE and other “homeland security” sentinels, including investigative branches of the Pentagon itself. Here’s an excerpt from the full text:

The data show, for example, that of all the major federal investigative agencies the organization that had the most dramatic surge when it came to recommending prosecutions was the one responsible for the regulation of immigration. In 1987 that agency — then situated in the Justice Department — was credited with making 8.6% of all federal referrals.

Ten years later, this proportion had grown to 9.9%. In the most recent fiscal year, however, now under the Department of Homeland Security, those offices were credited with making 27% of referrals overall. This growth is particularly dramatic when examined by the raw numbers: the annual count jumped from 9,883 in 1987 to 41,645 in 2007.

Email from Jay Johnson-Castro, with forwarded message from Hazahza family friend, concerning distressing news about Suzi’s medical condition at the Rolling Plains prison in Haskell, Texas. At the end of the message, Jay suggests another vigil.–gm

Folks…

This is an S.O.S. !!!

Please read the following dishonesty of Emerald Correctional Healthcare’s website and then read the plea for help for Suzi Hazahza.

Emerald Correctional Healthcare was created because of the unique challenges to healthcare providers and corrections management teams working at Emerald Correctional Management facilities. There is a definite need to provide specialized treatment, and the documentation necessary to improve medical services.

The goal of the Emerald Correctional Healthcare management team was not to sacrifice quality care because of increasing costs but to improve detainee medical care and upgrade the communications between the on-site medical team and the Medical Director’s staff with a more effective and efficient plan of operations.

With more than 60 years of experience, the professional staff has developed a quality care and communications plan which maximizes the quality of care. It provides a communications management system and secure, on-line information database used in all Emerald Correctional Management facilities. This system is now available for your correctional facility.

Emerald Correctional Healthcare raises the bar for providing correctional healthcare services. The team, led by our Medical Director and the full-time medical staff of professional and dedicated healthcare providers is delivering a cost-effective, innovative, high-quality medical care plan.

Now…today…from Reza Barkhordari…Suzi’s fiancé…

Dear Greg,

Please be advised that I received a disturbing phone call from Mirvat Hazahza at 10:00 PM Sunday March 4th regarding the Suzi’s critical medical condition. She was crying so hard that I could barely understand what she was trying to convey to me. I was told that Suzi has been experiencing extreme pain in her heart, chest area, and left hand accompanied by numbness on the right side of her body.

Later when I spoke with Suzi over the phone I was informed that she was given Maalox as a remedy to deal with the condition. Her condition has gotten worse since last night. She was examined at the facility Medical Room on Monday 5th. She was told by the nurse that this facility is not equipped with the necessary equipment to differentiate between a Heart Attack and a Panic Attack.

Her sister, Mirvat, made a phone call at 4:30 PM [Tuesday afternoon?] to inform me that Suzan had experienced another attack and been taken to the Medical Room once again. I made a phone call to inquire about this case and was denied an explanation.

Apparently as of yesterday she is being treated with medication for anxiety attack, I assume some sort of anti-depressant. Her condition has not changed and she is regularly experiencing pain in her heart and chest area.

Ted Cox has been informed of this matter and they are contacting the appropriate authorities for the immediate release of Suzi for emergency medical examination. We have not yet heard anything back.

Please pray for her health.

Thank you,

Reza Barkhordari

When Jay Johnson-Castro speaks about “occult” and “secret” immigrant detentions, we present as exhibit A an online list of “Immigration Detention Faciltities” posted at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Website. Not listed are the T. Don Hutto prison in Taylor, Texas or the Rollings Plains prison in Haskell, Texas. How many more detention centers are there, and why doesn’t ICE list them all?

Immigration Detention Facilities

Strengthening the nation’s capacity to detain and remove criminal
and other deportable aliens is a key component of the
comprehensive strategy to deter illegal immigration and protect
public safety. Detention and removal of illegal aliens
is a priority of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
This commitment has been backed by significant resources
devoted to detention and removal efforts.

DRO secures bed space in detention facilities, and monitors these
facilities for compliance with national Detention Standards. The
standards specify the living conditions appropriate for detainees.
These standards have been collated and published in the Detention
Operations Manual (Detention Standards). This manual provides uniform policies and procedures concerning the treatment of individuals detained by ICE.

For information on services relating to but not under the direct jurisdiction of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, please contact the following:

The Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) is an agency within the Department of Justice (DOJ). Its primary mission is to preside over immigration cases in an attentive and timely manner. These cases involve detained aliens, criminal aliens, and aliens seeking asylum as a form of relief from removal. EOIR ensures the standards of due process and fair treatment for all parties involved.

Mornin’ y’all…

It was indeed a privilege to visit day before yesterday with Reza, the fiancé of Suzi Hazahza. We have much to learn and much more to do…to fully expose the reality of Hutto and Haskell…and any prison camp that unjustly and inhumanely victimizes sincere fellow humans that are seeking the American dream. Hutto is about to be gutted. Haskell is soon to be fully exposed…then gutted.
We need to coordinate open records requests. We need to get the details of who is being victimized on the inside of these prison camps. The information is too occult…secret…for an open society. Too much money is involved. Those responsible sadistically care more about money than they do about humanity. That’s where we the grass roots come in.

At the same time…we cannot just be working within the system. We must make the system work. Hundreds of children and innocent people fall victim every day…while we only to get a few out every month. We need to bring to a halt such atrocities in our country and indict those who would commit such atrocities.

While it would be a victory to get another Ibrahim or Hazahza family out…we need to get them all out. We need to free all those who for whom we do not have names or faces. If beautiful Suzi and Mirvat are being treated the way they are…how many hundreds of others are there for whom we do not yet have a story? That’s my personal quest. I have no funding. I’m not an attorney. All I have is my heart and mind…with the passion and conviction to bring an end to this perversion and corruption of a free land…and free the victims. ALL of them.

Once one family is released…will the work to free all the others that they do not know…just as we tried to free them that we did not know? Hopefully so. Once that happens…we will have much more rapid success. We need to learn from all those that we now know…about what’s going on inside these prison camps.

We need to collect names, countries, numbers, experiences. How many men vs. women…etc. How long have they been detained. We need a story for every one who is imprisoned unjustly. We need to get beyond the political spin jargon and start using grass roots language. We must personalize the situation of each victim in order to expose these crimes against humanity. Once accomplished…the grassroots of Haskell County and the City of Haskell will respond as did the citizens of Taylor and Williamson County . With outrage…and demand…and with protest.

We must expose the plot to make money off of a warped and fraudulent “homeland security” scam. We must get the contracts between ICE and Haskell County and with Emerald. Let’s look at the money…and see who benefits and who has the most to loose as we expose this un-American and immoral scheme.

That’s my personal goal. That’s what has not been done yet…and what needs to be done most urgently.

Jay
