DOJ Bust Child Protective Services In Trafficking Tiny Humans Christian Operations

They all do it.

There are multiple schemes.

The main point I am trying to make is that it only takes a call to CPS and your life if over.

It is obvious that these churches did not file the proper paperwork for legal guardianship of the parents, otherwise, this would not have been illegal and they would have standing for all actions of asset forfeiture, which, of course, includes SNAP, Medicaid, vote, and use of identification to take out mortgages in their names.

The more you have in your human asset management systems for doing the work of the lord, the more you can financially leverage your operations and own properties, under religious land use, nonprofit exemptions and exceptions.

Without "The Poors" (always said with clinched teeth) these christian operations would shutter, leaving people with no brick and mortar to worship the lord to save their souls from a life like those wretched souls they like to save.

The practice is called capitalism, otherwise known as the residuals of the peculiar institution.

Praise the lord.

Two Former Church Members Admit Forced Labor Conspiracy

SAN DIEGO – Jose Gaytan and Sonia Murillo, defendants affiliated with Imperial Valley Ministries, pleaded guilty to labor trafficking charges in federal court today, admitting that they participated in a forced labor conspiracy.

Gaytan and Murillo were previously indicted with ten other defendants on charges they held program participants against their will, coerced participants to surrender welfare benefits, and compelled participants to panhandle for the financial benefit of the church leaders.

Both Gaytan and Murillo admitted to conspiring with the other defendants to benefit financially from the forced labor conspiracy. In particular, both Gaytan and Murillo admitted defendant Victor Gonzalez, the former pastor of IVM, instructed all directors in charge of IVM properties to screw or nail windows shut and keep doors locked from the inside in order to prevent IVM participants from leaving. Gaytan added that Gonzalez and another IVM leader told him it was necessary to continue recruiting participants into IVM and prevent participants from leaving in order to increase fundraising proceeds for the benefit of IVM.

Murillo implicated additional defendants who punished her for allowing IVM participants to leave. Both Gaytan and Murillo added that various co-defendants had directed them to falsely instruct female participants that Child Protective Services would take their children, or fail to return them, if they left IVM.

IVM operated a non-denominational church headquartered in El Centro, and had opened approximately 30 affiliate churches throughout the United States and Mexico, including Los Angeles, Santa Ana and San Jose, California; Las Vegas, Nevada; Phoenix, Arizona; and Brownsville, Texas. IVM’s express purpose is to “restore” drug addicts at faith-based rehabilitation group homes and raise money to open churches in other cities to do the same.

In addition to their church and main office, IVM owns and operates two women’s group homes and a men’s group home in the El Centro area. IVM also operated homes in Calexico and Chula Vista. Many participants were recruited from outside of El Centro, including San Diego, and as far away as Texas. IVM members allegedly induced participants to accompany them to receive free food and shelter with the false promise that they would be provided resources to return home. Many participants, including those who did not require rehabilitation services, claimed they were later held at IVM properties against their will.

The indictment alleges that all of the defendants confiscated identification documents in order to prevent IVM participants from leaving IVM and to maintain their labor. IVM leaders checked in participants at the IVM group homes, where they were required to sign agreements to adhere to rules, including never leaving the house unaccompanied, and turning over all identifications and personal items.

Both Gaytan and Murillo admitted they helped enforce the IVM rules by checking in new IVM participants, obtaining and using their Electronic Benefits Transaction cards obtained through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and requiring participants to panhandle on behalf of IVM. Gaytan and Murillo also pleaded guilty to a separate offense of Benefits Fraud based upon their unauthorized acquisition of SNAP benefits from others, in violation of Food Stamp Regulations.

Gaytan entered his guilty plea before U.S. Magistrate Judge Linda Lopez and Murillo entered her guilty plea before U.S. Magistrate Judge F.A. Gossett. Both are scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Barry Ted Moskowitz on May 5, 2020.

“The most vulnerable among us are entitled to the protection of the law,” said U.S. Attorney Robert Brewer. “We encourage everyone to help identify forced labor victims in all locations or situations where exploitation is possible.” Mr. Brewer added that his office would be hosting a forum on forced labor on April 23, 2020, to bring together law enforcement agencies, non-governmental organizations, and community organizations that may encounter potential victims of forced labor, all in an effort to increase the identification of victims and prosecute those who exploit them.

Brewer praised FBI agents and prosecutor Chris Tenorio for excellent work on this important case.

JUDICIARY: Chairman Nadler Announces House Judiciary Investigation into Trump Administration's "Remain in Mexico" Policy By Failing To Address The Industry Of Trafficking Tiny Humans Called Foster Care & Adoption

On the one-year anniversary of the introduction of the Keep Families Together Act, the House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship announced that it will be investigating the Administration's implementation of the "Remain in Mexico" immigration policy

Washington, D.C. – Today, House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), along with Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship Chair Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) and Subcommittee Members Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), Veronica Escobar (D-TX), Sylvia Garcia (D-TX), Joe Neguse (D-CO), Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (D-FL), and Lou Correa (D-CA), announced the start of an investigation into how the Administration’s "zero tolerance" immigration policy has morphed into a policy whereby refugees and asylum seekers are being kept in Mexico indefinitely and without due process or access to counsel. That is because the children are placed under foreign corporations like Bethany Christian to be processed through foster care to be fast tracked through adoption, which means they have legal counsel. The announcement comes on the one-year anniversary of the introduction of the Keep Families Together Act, which came in response to the Trump Administration’s family separation policy that led to over five thousand children being separated from their families upon entry into the United States....and placed in Foster Care. The letter, sent to Acting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Chad Wolf, demands the Department turn over any information regarding the development and execution of the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), also known as the "Remain in Mexico" policy, a.k.a. Foster Care which threatens the health and safety of legitimate asylum seekers—including women, children, and families.

In their letter, the Members wrote, "The policy has nearly eliminated the already scarce due process protections available to asylum-seekers—such as access to counsel—further reducing the likelihood that legitimate asylum-seekers can obtain asylum.... which is called Adoption.  Moreover, MPP forces women, children, and families to remain in areas that the federal government recognizes as especially unsafe....where christian child welfare NGOs are providing relief like Catholic Charities.  As of today, there are 31 active travel advisories for Mexico, including 5 warnings in which the State Department explicitly advises Americans against travel....because the people are tired of their kid being snatched and sold through Foster Care and Adoption.   It is difficult to understand why this administration is sending children and families to areas where they will face certain harm." It is difficult to understand because the Committee ha no clue that Foster Care and Adoption is the residual of the peculiar institution of trafficking tiny humans multi-trillion dollar industry.

DOJ: Five Members of Mexican Sex Trafficking Organization Sentenced to Prison

This conjugal collaborative included law enforcement jurisdictions of Mexico, Central America, New York, Atlanta, and D.C.

Prosecution Dismantled International Sex Trafficking Organization that Forced Young Women and Girls from Mexico and Central America into Prostitution for Over a Decade

Last week in federal district court in Brooklyn, New York, five members of a notorious international criminal organization, known as the Rendon-Reyes Trafficking Organization, were sentenced to prison terms of 15 to 25 years by United States District Court Judge Edward R. Korman. The amount to be paid in restitution will be announced at a later date. Three other defendants are set to be sentenced on Jan. 15. The defendants previously pled guilty to racketeering, sex trafficking, and other federal charges following their arrests in Mexico and the United States, where they were residing illegally. For over a decade, the Rendon-Reyes Trafficking Organization, based in Tenancingo, Tlaxcala, Mexico, smuggled numerous young women and girls from Mexico and Central America into the United States and forced them to engage in prostitution for the Organization’s profit, generating hundreds of thousands of dollars in criminal proceeds that were then laundered back to Mexico. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York and the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division prosecuted this case.

“These well-deserved sentences reflect the gravity of the human trafficking crimes these defendants committed,” said Acting Attorney General Whitaker. “The defendants operated an extensive sex trafficking enterprise that preyed on vulnerable young women and girls, deceiving them with false promises, coercing their compliance, and compelling them into submission through beatings, threats, isolation, and intimidation. This prosecution is the result of strong partnerships among the Eastern District of New York, the Civil Right Division’s Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit, the New York Office of the Department of Homeland Security’s Homeland Security Investigations, and our Mexican law enforcement counterparts. The sentences imposed in this case demonstrate our unwavering commitment to working across international borders to dismantle transnational trafficking networks and seek justice on behalf of victims and survivors.”

“These sentencings are the latest chapter in this Office’s long-term commitment to eradicate human trafficking and all forms of modern-day slavery,” stated United States Attorney Donoghue.  “The crimes committed by the members of the Rendon-Reyes Trafficking Organization were brutal and shocking, and I hope that the sentences give the victims in this case some sense of justice.  We will not tolerate the exploitation of women and girls for profit or sexual servitude.”

“These individuals will now face the consequences of their callous criminal actions exploiting women and girls whom they forced into sex slavery for profit. The investigation and prosecution that led to today’s sentencings speak to the strong bilateral relationship between the United States and Mexico, in which both nations are committed to holding accountable those engaged in the ruthless act of human trafficking,” said Homeland Security Investigations Executive Associate Director Derek Benner.  “Investigating human trafficking remains a priority for HSI, whose primary focus is to rescue victims and release them from the grip of their captors. HSI will continue leveraging all of its investigative capabilities to disrupt human trafficking syndicates no matter where in the world they operate.”

The defendants were sentenced to the following prison terms: Jovan Rendon-Reyes, aka Jovani, 32, of Mexico, was sentenced to 20 years in prison; Saul Rendon-Reyes, aka Satanico, 41, of Mexico, was sentenced to 15 years in prison; Felix Rojas, 48, of Mexico, was sentenced to 25 years in prison; Odilon Martinez-Rojas, aka Chino or Saul, 47, of Mexico, was sentenced to over 24 years in prison; and Severiano Martinez-Rojas, 53, of Mexico, was sentenced to over 24 years in prison. Severiano Martinez-Rojas was also sentenced in a related case in the Northern District of Georgia. Those proceedings were transferred to the Eastern District of New York for entry of the defendant’s guilty plea last year, and the cases were consolidated for last week’s sentencing. Defendants Jose Rendon-Garcia, aka Gusano, 35, of Mexico, Guillermina Rendon-Reyes, 48, of Mexico, and Francisco Rendon-Reyes, aka Pancho, 30, of Mexico, will be sentenced on Jan. 15.

According to documents filed in court, between December 2004 and November 2015, members of the Rendon-Reyes Organization, including the defendants, enriched themselves by forcing multiple young women and girls, including the 12 referenced in court documents, to perform countless commercial sex acts throughout the United States and Mexico. The Organization targeted vulnerable women and girls, some as young as 14, from impoverished areas of Mexico and Central America. Male members of the Organization typically used false promises of love and marriage to lure the victims into fraudulent romantic relationships. In some instances, they forcibly abducted the victims, and on one occasion, a victim’s child. Members of the Organization frequently arranged for others to smuggle the victims across the border and into the United States. Once in the United States, members of the Organization utilized different methods to force the victims to engage in prostitution, including severe and repeated beatings, sexual assaults, forced abortions, threats to the victims, their families and children, and psychological harm. Members of the Organization forced the victims to perform as many as 45 sex acts a night and took all of the prostitution proceeds, funneling the money back to Mexico.

Sounds like a foster care home.

The investigation, prosecution, bilateral enforcement action, and extraditions of the defendants apprehended in Mexico were coordinated through the U.S.-Mexico Bilateral Human Trafficking Enforcement Initiative. Since 2009, the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security have collaborated with Mexican law enforcement counterparts in a Bilateral Human Trafficking Enforcement Initiative to more effectively dismantle human trafficking networks operating across the U.S.-Mexico border, bring human traffickers to justice, and restore the rights and dignity of human trafficking victims. These efforts have resulted in successful prosecutions in both Mexico and the United States, including U.S. federal prosecutions of over 170 defendants in multiple cases in New York, Georgia, Florida, and Texas, in addition to numerous Mexican federal and state prosecutions of associated sex traffickers. The convictions in this case are also the latest development in the Eastern District of New York’s comprehensive anti-trafficking program, which has to date indicted more than 80 defendants, assisted more than 150 victims, including 45 minors, reunited 19 victims’ children with their mothers, and secured restitution orders of over $4 million on behalf of trafficking victims.

So, does that mean the children who were Legally Kidnapped by Child Protective Services who were raped, drugged as lab rats, tortured, attempted suicide and successful in suicide will be reunited with their parents and made who through restitution because you do know the babies made from these operations end up in foster care.

Just asking.

The investigation of the Rendon-Reyes Trafficking Organization was led by HSI New York’s Trafficking in Persons Unit, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York, and the Department of Justice’s Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit, with assistance from HSI Mexico City Attaché Office, the Department of Justice’s Office of International Affairs, the State Department, Interpol and the New York City Police Department. Assistance was also provided by the FBI’s Atlanta Division, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Northern District of Georgia. The government of Mexico, including Mexico’s Procuraduría General de la República and Policía Federal, also played a prominent role in advancing the bilateral anti-trafficking enforcement efforts in this case.  Non-governmental victim service providers and advocates also dedicated efforts to restore and improve the lives of survivors of trafficking and their families.

Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband for the Civil Rights Division, U.S. Attorney Richard P. Donoghue of the Eastern District of New York, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Executive Associate Director Derek Benner made the announcement today.

The case against the Rendon-Reyes Trafficking Organization was investigated by HSI New York’s Trafficking in Persons Unit, and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Taryn A. Merkl and Margaret Lee of the Eastern District of New York and Deputy Director for Litigation Benjamin J. Hawk of the Civil Rights Division’s Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit.

DOJ: Attorney General Jeff Sessions Addresses Another Conjugal Collaborative

Attorney General Jeff Sessions Delivers Remarks to the Joint Interagency Task Force South

Washington, DC

Remarks as prepared for delivery

First of all, on behalf of President Trump—and on behalf of the 115,000 men and women of the Department of Justice—I want to welcome you to the Robert F. Kennedy Main Justice Building.

I understand that you have just come from the White House and that you spent yesterday in Quantico with the FBI.

I want to welcome all of you: our partners who are here with the State Department, the FBI, the Coast Guard, the Marines, the Air Force, and of course JIATF leadership, Rear Admiral Keck, Colonel Groves, and Unit Chief Chianella.

And welcome to our allies from more than a dozen countries in the Western Hemisphere and Europe.

This Department of Justice values your partnership in the fight to keep deadly drugs out of our communities.

Under President Donald Trump, this Department has placed a special emphasis on building law enforcement relationships and partnerships in America and around the world.

We know all too well that drugs are killing record numbers of Americans—and almost all of them come from overseas.

The day I was sworn in as Attorney General, President Trump ordered me to focus on dismantling transnational criminal organizations.  And every single day this Department has been faithful to that order.

Under President Trump, the Department of Justice has achieved historic results in the fight against international drug trafficking.  These results benefit not only the American people—but the people of your countries, too.

Last summer, with the help of eight of our allies, we dismantled the largest darknet market in the world, AlphaBay.  It operated for more than two years and was used to sell a host of illicit items, including deadly illegal drugs and firearms.  At one time, more than 40,000 vendors offered contraband for sale, and drugs sold on the site have been linked to overdose deaths around the country.  Now this site has been taken down.

In 2017 we tripled the number of fentanyl prosecutions at the federal level.

In 2017, the Coast Guard seized record numbers of drugs: about half a million pounds total, worth about $6.1 billion.  The Coast Guard also helped us arrest more than 600 alleged drug traffickers.

Last October, for the first time we indicted Chinese nationals for trafficking synthetic drugs in the United States.  Last week I announced our third case—a 43-count indictment against a drug trafficking organization based in Shanghai.

I also announced charges against a married couple who we believe were once the most prolific synthetic opioid, fentanyl traffickers on the darknet in North America.  I also announced that we had worked with our partners in Canada to help them indict a man we believe was the third most prolific darknet synthetic opioid dealer in North America.

In 2017, Customs and Border Protection seized nearly twice as much cocaine at our borders as they seized just three years before.

Many of your governments and militaries have played a key role in these successes.  There is no doubt in my mind that you have saved lives.

Last year you seized or interdicted a total of 316 metric tons of illegal drugs headed toward the United States, including more than 44,000 pounds in Panama, more than 37,000 pounds in Costa Rica, 31,000 in Guatemala, and more than 23,000 in Mexico.

You also reduced the estimated amount of cocaine trafficked successfully South of our border by 357 metric tons.

I want to commend you for these accomplishments and thank you.

But all of us in this room must recognize that there is a lot more work left to do.

And more than 2,300 metric tons of cocaine were delivered successfully last year South of our border.

And so we need to continue to strengthen our military and law enforcement cooperation with your countries and with allies around the world.

Let me make one thing clear: The only time criminals care about borders is when they hide behind them.  We cannot allow safe zones for criminals any more than for terrorists.  It cannot be that a criminal can carry out any number of crimes, and then walk across a border and return home safe.

That is why we must all do more to speed up mutual legal assistance requests.  These are requests from your countries for records in the U.S. Our Office of International Assistance has reduced its backlog by the thousands. I have increased staffing significantly. In 2017 we provided assistance in about twice as many cases as we did in 2015.  And the number of requests has only been rising.

I promised when I was appointed Attorney General that we were going to speed up our support for you -- and we have.

Our goal is to set a good example by being more prompt.  I urge your countries to do the same.  We need faster, more complete responses to inquiries from all countries.  I challenge each of your countries to devote more resources to quickly and effectively reduce your backlog too.

We are dramatically stepping up our actions against the cartels, the traffickers, and the transnational criminal organizations—just like President Trump has ordered us to do.  These violent outlaws, traffickers in death, corruptors of government, are enemies of peace, security, public health and prosperity. They are our enemies. We will fight them with the determination we apply to terrorists.

We will attack, dismantle, and defeat them in every area of their wicked enterprises.

While they run loose, the rule of law is diminished while they corruptly influence governments. They undermine the progress we all want for our countries.

As long as they pour out huge volumes of illegal drugs, there will be more addiction and death. And that is why I hope that our meetings today—and your meetings in Washington this week—will strengthen our relationships and help us perform at a higher level than ever before.

Inside The Mexican Cartel's Unspoken Child Organ Harvesting Ring

Reports of a Mexico child organ trafficking ring emerged in 2014 when authorities suspected the Knights Templar cartel of kidnapping children and harvesting their organs for sale on the black market. Human organ trafficking is an issue in many developing countries where people are tricked into selling, and even donating, kidneys and other body parts. These organs are sold to wealthy foreigners who desperately need them.

However, in Mexico, this illegal trade took a disturbing turn when the organs being harvested started coming from kidnapped children. Mexican drug cartel trafficking is still a large problem, particularly in the areas bordering the United States, and it was made even worse when the cartels diversified into human trafficking. 

This details of how these innocent children were trapped, held hostage, and violently invaded for their body parts are gruesome and sad. Though, at least in the 2014 case of the Mexican drug cartel's human organ trafficking scheme, the police caught on and were able to save lives. 

An Orphanage Was A Primary Location For The Children Organ Trafficking Scheme

Photo: zilverbat./flickr/CC-BY-NC 2.0

The Home of the Big Family was a respected orphanage in Zamora, Mexico. That is until authorities raided the orphanage in 2014 and discovered that over 500 children were being kept against their will in cramped conditions.

The orphanage, also known as the Casa de Mama Rosa, had been open for 40 years. Because of the guilt around the establishment doing the work the government was unable to do, inspections of the facility were notoriously lax. This explains why when authorities finally investigated the home, they figured out that in addition to horrible living conditions, the orphanage was at the center of a child organ trafficking scheme. Rosa Verduzco, or Mama Rosa as she was called, ran the orphanage and she and several other adults were accused of abusing the children. 

In addition to the appalling living situation, children with biological families were not allowed contact with them, children were starved and forced to beg on the streets, and many of them had their organs harvested. 

Some Harvested Organs Were Likely Used For Witchcraft

Some of the organs harvested from children in Mexico might be used for witchcraft and satanic purposes. Bodies found with their livers and hearts brutally removed are proof of this according to Dr. Lopez-Neblima, a surgeon at a Mexican hospital. He claimed that organs that were clearly removed with no delicacy were likely not intended for transplant use. Instead, the organs were probably for Santa Muerte (Saint Death)

Trucks With The Frozen Bodies Of Children Indications Of The Trafficking Ring

An earlier event hinting at the increasing child organ trafficking crisis faced by Mexico involved a truck at a checkpoint in Villa Victor-Chinicuila, Mexico. Authorities searched the truck and found dozens of frozen bodies with their organs removed. Some were children and others were adults but all were dead. The story gets hazy from there as the truck disappeared after the police arrived.

In another case, a truck stopped in Tierra Caliente also had bodies with missing organs in it. The bodies were confiscated, but again, no follow-up was reported. Early indications that Mexican police didn't take it seriously that an organ trafficking ring was on the rise.

Children Kidnapped On The Way To The Beach Were In A Refrigerated Box

In 2014, a group of children from Mexico City were kidnapped by members of the Knights Templar cartel. Their parents had given them permission to go on the beach outing with their school. The children never made it to the beach. Luckily, a stolen van was intercepted when it made it a wrong turn and ended up in the city of Tepalcatepec, Mexico. In the back of the van, the children were found in a refrigerated box. Thankfully, they were wrapped in blankets and still alive. Authorities believe that the kids were on their way to an ocean side port owned by the cartel where their organs would likely have been harvested. 

 Four Children Were Kidnapped On Their Way To School And Later Found Buried In A Shallow Grave

In 2014, four children were walking to school in Mexico when they vanished into thin air. Days later, their bodies were found in a shallow grave in an undisclosed location. According to sources, the children had been disturbingly mutilated - their chest organs had been removed prior to their burials. The story was hushed up with almost no trace of it appearing anywhere. Officials from that part of Mexico claimed that there was no proof of organ harvesting in the case despite the very telling details regarding missing organs.

The demand for organs is never ending, especially in the U.S. That demand has led to some doctors breezing over any kind of investigation into where organs are coming from before performing procedures. The lack of protocol and desire to take more people off the donor registry lists has led the cartel to traffic more and more. 

Children Are Preyed Upon  When Attempting Safe Travel To The United States

Migrants traveling from parts of Latin and South America walk through Mexico in order to reach the United States. Some of these migrants are children, traveling alone, usually to meet up with adult relatives on the other side of the border. Others are simply seeking asylum in a safe country far from guerillas, cartels, and war. These kids are preyed upon by human traffickers who sell them into slavery, prostitution, or who harvest their organs, leaving their bodies in shallow graves or out in the open. 

The Kidnapped Children Are Profiled For Specific Traits

According to sources, the children kidnapped for organ trafficking fit a specific profile that the kidnappers look for. They are after kids who fit certain physical characteristics, such as height and weight, possibly to match organ recipients. Also, these children are usually in a particular age range: 7 to 10-years-old. Younger kids are often trafficked for adoption not organ harvesting.

In America, we know the Knights Templar as a secretive organization that may hold the key to many mysteries, including where the real holy grail lies. However, in Mexico, the Knights Templar cartel only shares its name with this ancient sect and none of its noble intentions. The crime ring split from the Familia Michoacana cartel in 2011 and is suspected of being heavily involved in child organ trafficking, as well as extortion, and illegal mining and logging. Prior to this, the cartel's main source of income was in drug trafficking.

Organ Trafficking Usually Focuses On Kidney Harvesting, But Children's Hearts And Livers Are Being Removed

Photo: aturkus/flickr/CC-BY 2.0

What's unusual about the Mexico child organ harvesting cases is the fact that the children are found with their hearts and livers removed. Most cases of organ trafficking involve kidneys, since they are easily removed and leave the victims alive with one functioning kidney. People in developing countries have historically been either tricked or forced to sell their organs, though they may receive several thousand dollars in return. The sudden focus on children for harvesting may be a way traffickers have sought to cut their costs.  

Child Organ Trafficking Reports Go Back Many Years To Guatemala In 1994

Back in 1994, reports emerged of mobs attacking children and removing their organs for transplanting, killing them in the process. Although some people believed that the stories were made up for political gain in order to make the country seem unstable, seemingly credible eyewitnesses claimed to have seen the evidence themselves. One such witness saw a child being "caressed" at the side of the road by a woman. The child was reported missing and the eyewitness was later attacked by a mob who beat her until she was comatose. 

Some of the people who have lost loved ones to organ trafficking are afraid to speak out. Many who do use pseudonyms so that they can't be identified. One such person, who identified herself to a reporter as "Camila" pointed out that going to the police is just as dangerous as confronting the "bad people" since the cops are usually either involved with the cartels or paid off by them to look the other way.

A researcher for Amnesty International agreed with this sentiment and pointed out the questionable police work done by authority figures, many of whom are afraid of angering the cartels. This leads to few places for parents to turn when their children get abducted by organ traffickers.

Trump Chief Of Staff John Kelly, Immigration & CPS

John Kelly, Trump's Chief of Staff made a statement on the trafficking of tiny humans across the Southern Border of the United States.

Lots of people were offended but I do not understand why, because it is what is taught in the universities, the policy think tanks, the churches, and any other NGO that can make a few bucks.

So, be kind to John Kelly.

He is only saying and doing what he was taught...for generations.

Something to think about.

John Kelly's Racist Comments About Immigrants Are Not His First

Trump's Chief of Staff turned to bigotry when asked to defend harsh new policy for prosecuting illegal immigrants.

In a contentious NPR interview that aired Friday morning, President Trump's Chief of Staff, John Kelly, said that the "vast majority" of illegal immigrants "don't integrate well" and "don't have skills."

Kelly was defending a "zero tolerance policy" for illegal border crossings that was announced by Attorney General Jeff Sessions in April. Sessions said "a crisis has erupted" at the border with Mexico, according to the AP. He ordered prosecutors to pursue criminal charges against any immigrants caught while attempting to illegally enter the U.S.

When asked about Sessions' policy by NPR, Kelly allowed that many illegal immigrants "are not bad people ... but they're also not people that would easily assimilate into the United States," he continued. "They're overwhelmingly rural people. In the countries they come from, fourth-, fifth-, sixth-grade educations are kind of the norm."

He kept elaborating: "They don't speak English, obviously that's a big thing," Kelly said. "They don't integrate well; they don't have skills."

This is not the first time Kelly has espoused racist views about non-white immigrants. Earlier this year, during the debate around the fate of the DACA recipients, known as Dreamers, the Washington Post reported that the president's Chief of Staff said that some young immigrants eligible for protection under the program were "too lazy to get off their asses" and sign up.

Kelly later offered a different version of the same comment, insisting that eligible immigrants "just should've probably gotten off the couch and signed up."

After Sessions announced the government's new policy on border crossings, the ACLU condemned it in a statement. "We will almost certainly see asylum seekers prosecuted and parents separated from children to be funneled into the criminal justice system," the ACLU said.

The Attorney General acknowledged his order might rip families apart in a subsequent press conference, but defended the policy as his only means of deterring future illegal border crossings. "We don't want to separate families, but we don't want families to come to the border illegally and attempt to enter into this country improperly," he said, according to PBS.

"Why are you doing this?" a heckler responded. "Do you have a heart?"

Last fall, during the nationwide debate about Confederate statues, Kelly made news for his comments that General Robert E. Lee was "an honorable man." Kelly argued that it was an "inability to compromise that led to the Civil War."

Puerto Rico Supreme Court Justice Addresses Latin American Judges at Department of Justice’s Judicial Studies Institute

Today, at the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico, Justice Edgardo Rivera García gave the keynote address to 29 judges from Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Panama and Peru in San Juan, Puerto Rico as part of the Judicial Studies Institute (JSI) training program, a collaborative effort between the Department of Justice and Department of State to build the capacity of the judiciaries of the Western Hemisphere.

As a frequent contributor to the JSI program, Justice Rivera García stressed the importance of the judges’ contribution to rule of law in the hemisphere and lauded them for their role in the transformation of Latin American justice. 

With the support of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, and in partnership with the Department of State’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, the Department of Justice’s Office of Prosecutorial Development Assistance and Training (OPDAT) launched JSI in 2012 as a response to the wave of justice sector reforms in Latin America that saw many countries transition to an adversarial system.

Through instruction conducted in Spanish, practical exercises, and observations of courtroom proceedings, the JSI program provides judges with an opportunity to enhance their understanding of the fundamental principles, benefits, and challenges of the adversarial system.  This capacity building is critical to the region as the judge’s role in the adversarial system is different from that in the inquisitorial system.  In the inquisitorial system, the judge is actively involved in investigating the facts of the case, whereas in the adversarial system, the role of the judge is primarily that of an impartial referee between the prosecution and the defense.

Throughout 2018, judges from 10 Latin American countries will participate in JSI courses covering topics such as the development of rules of evidence, proportionality in sentencing, and opinion writing.  While each country’s transition to the adversarial system has been unique, the judges who have participated in the JSI program have displayed the same dedication to improving and strengthening the transparency and efficiency of their respective criminal justice systems.

 “The Judicial Studies Institute’s work with Latin American judges as their justice systems transition to adversarial systems is pivotal to ensure the fair and effective administration of justice throughout the hemisphere, which in turn promotes security throughout the region,” said Faye S. Ehrenstamm, Director of OPDAT.  “This would not be possible without both the deep commitment of the judiciaries from participating countries and the tremendous contributions by the U.S. federal and state judiciaries.  OPDAT is proud to be associated with JSI and its many contributions to the region.”

Since 2012, JSI, with its partners at the University of Puerto Rico and Inter-American University law schools, has hosted over 700 Latin American judges from 12 countries.  The program continues to expand with the introduction of a mentoring component for JSI alumni in 2017, and new course offerings on special topics including digital and electronic evidence, opinion writing, and asset forfeiture added to the curriculum each year.
