[migrawatch-public] An Appeal from 16-Yr Monisha, being sent to Chicago; DHS ARRESTS ANOTHER DALLAS AREA FAMILY AT THEIR HOME; Hutto is same old hate: detention alternatives

APPEAL FROM 16-YEAR OLD, MONISHA,  DETAINEE BEING SENT TO CHICAGO, PARENTS TO HASKELL, TEXAS

Hi all, You've all been asking how you can help and what you can do and opening your hearts to my family.

 I just found out that there is something you can do to help us!

 

Paul Hunker is the INS official that will decide the fate of my family.  We are hoping he lets us re-open our case so that we may adjust our status since our green card application is weeks away from being approved and we already have employment-based visa approval.

 

I need you ALL to email him at paul.hunker@dhs.gov

 

We've all felt helpless the last couple of days but this is the guy that can actually do something to save my family.  Please email him with your support for our family and all of your thoughts that you've sent the last few days about your anger and frustration at the unfairness of this system.  Please note that my attorney, does not want Paul to feel like he put you all up to this (which is why I haven't even copied him).

 

Please do this as soon as possible!! We're waiting for him to call us back.

Thanks, Monisha

DHS ARRESTS ANOTHER DALLAS AREA FAMILY AT THEIR HOME
16-year old sent to Chicago; parents to Haskell, Texas
 

Contact:    John Wheat Gibson  (Charanias' attorney)  214 748 6944

Free the Children has received word that another immigrant family awaiting action on their case has been arrested and separated into two prisons at opposite ends of the U.S.

         Nazir and Munira Charania sought asylum here with their children, Ali and Monisha, in July 1994 after Nazir was beaten outside his office by a Hindu gang who took exception to his Muslim religion which has minority status in India. After their application for asylum was refused, their lawyer, Terry Rombough, filed for an employment-based visa status but neglected to keep up with the necessary paperwork, so the three-year window closed without success. He refiled in May 1999, again failed to filed the paperwork properly and neglected the case, resulting in its failure.

        The family settled in Coppell, a Dallas suburb. After continuing errors and lapses on the attorney's part, the Charanias and several others filed malpractice suits; Rombough has filed bankruptcy three times to protect himself. The Charanias' present attorney, John Wheat Gibson, filed their subsequent application to gain labor certification (employment-based visa), which was approved in 2006. A greencard application was submitted in December 2006 and, according to the USCIS processing dates, was a few weeks from being approved when ICE arrested Nazir, Munira, and 16-year-old son Ali at their home in Coppell Tuesday morning. Monisha reports that ICE has separated Ali from his parents and the parents from each other, sending him to the Heartland Facility in Illinois, while her parents have been sent to the Rolling Plains Detention Center in Haskell, Texas, where they are sharing cells with criminals and drug dealers.

       In the words of the Charania's daughter, Monisha: "My brother and I are straight A students in school. None of my family members have ever been in any trouble. In fact, we've been very regular in our order to report to the authorities. When my parents moved here, they worked multiple jobs to make ends meet and assimilate to a new country while I took care of my then-3 year old brother (I was 10 at the time). We both worked very hard in school and I graduated third in my class with a GPA above 4.0. I was admitted as an out-of-state student to the University of California, Berkeley, and recently graduated in 2005."

       Attorney Gibson said, "Since this brief was filed, the labor certification has been granted and the Court of Appeals in March denied the petition for review and issued its mandate. Then yesterday morning the Department of Homeland Security arrested the family at their home, and they now face deportation, since the stay of deportation issued by the district judge ended with the mandate from the Court of Appeals." Mr. Gibson will ask the district counsel (local DHS attorney) to join a motion to the Board of Immigration Appeals to reopen the case so the family can take advantage of the immigrant visa (and green card) that will be available to them in a few more months.  "If DHS refuses to join a motion to reopen to the BIA," he said, "the family will be deported to India, where thugs entered their home and destroyed their furniture and other possessions while the family watched helplessly (Monisha was about 10 at the time).  The same immigration judge who denied asylum to the Ibrahim family ruled that these events did not constitute persecution."

     We have been hearing about mysterious arrests and disappearances. This time the media have a golden opportunity to follow the story of what can happen in the United States to a family playing by the rules, guilty of nothing but a desire for the life, liberty, and happiness our nation's founders guaranteed.

There is nothing new about the T. Don Hutto prison for women and children in Taylor, Texas.  During the 1930s and '40s the Nazi government of Germany maintained special prisons for women and children.  They were called "Frauenlager."  Like the US Department of Homeland Stupidity, the German bureaucrats considered them a humane alternative to ordinary prisons.  Like Michael Chertoff and Alberto Gonzalez, the German bureaucrats considered torture camps like Guantanamo and the secret prisons in Europe "normal."

 

I wonder if any Germans spoke up against the Frauenlager.  Many Germans died for their opposition to the Nazi Holocaust.  I wonder if there ever was a rally of Germans across the street from a Frauenlager.  If there was, I wonder if the speakers had been instructed not to mention the Holocaust that created the Frauenlager or to criticize the Nazi project.  Of course, the Nazis and their sympathizers would have tried to silence any such statements, because they would not want the world to know of their own crimes.

 

I mention this, because I wonder why so many people are pressuring me and others not the mention the Zionist Holocaust against the Palestinian people, which after all is the only reason the T. Don Hutto concentration camp for children exists.  Is it because, like the Nazis, they truly believe their racial supremacist propaganda?  Do they really believe, like the Nazis, that because they were born to parents in one ethnic or religious group they are therefore entitled to murder, rape, and rob people who were not born into that same group?  Or is it that some of them are terrorized into silence?  Perhaps they fear that like Victor Kemperer in Nazi Germany or Norman Finkelstein in the Zionist United States they will lose their university professor jobs if they suggest the Holocaust is a bad thing?  Perhaps some of them are afraid they will be accused of hate if they suggest that Jews, Aryans, Rednecks, or whoever is the Herrenvolk or Chosen People du jour should not murder, rape, and rob other people.  This is very strange.  Most of us suggest to our children that they should not murder, rape, and rob other people, but nobody says therefore we hate our children.

 

Can anybody who is not a coward, a fool, or a racist really discuss the Frauenlager without mentioning the Nazis, their wars of aggression, and the Holocaust against the Jews, Gypsies, Slavs, Communists, and homosexuals?  Can anybody, who is not a coward, a fool, or a racist really talk about the T. Don Hutto prison without mentioning the Zionists, their wars of aggression, and the Holocaust against the people of Palestine, Iraq, Lebanon, and, probably soon, Iran?  The sorry fact is that the doctrine of racial supremacism as an excuse for military aggression abroad requires a police state at home, based on fear and hatred.  The principle is same whether the victims of that fear and hatred are Jews or Muslims or Christians; Bedouins or Mexicans.  There is no principled basis for distinguishing Zionism and Nazism.  The racial theories underlying them are the same.  Only the names of the victims are different.  The system that created the T. Don Hutto prison for women and children may continue to create concentration camps and torture chambers if we speak the truth; but it most certainly will if we lack the courage to speak the truth for fear of being called names by those who desire to continue the Holocaust.

EVERYONE BEWARE: THESE CONCENRATION CAMPS ARE CROPPING UP EVERYWHERE! THIS FROM AP, 6/12

Homeland Security bill ups money for detention alternatives

WASHINGTON -- A Homeland Security spending bill heading to the U.S. House floor could lead to changes on where some detainees are held.

The measure adds about $11.3 million to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) budget. The money is earmarked for alternative detention programs and directs the agency to house families in facilities that are more like homes than prisons.

Several civil liberties and immigrant and refugees groups have called for ICE to use more alternatives to detention for families, refugees and people seeking asylum.

One family detention center in Taylor used to be a prison. The T. Don Hutto complex was the subject of a lawsuit by civil liberties groups who said its jail-like conditions were unfair to families and children being held. Families have complained of weight loss, subpar schooling and long waits for medical care.

The facility houses roughly 400 men, women and children either awaiting deportation or seeking asylum.

ICE said the facility provides adequate healthcare and education. Mead said sick children are seen by a doctor in the same day, they get an average of two hours of outside recreation time every day and the facility meets all education state guidelines, including seven hours of class time a day.

The suit is set to go to trial in August.
