Free..
More than 13,000 immigrants convicted of homicide — either in the United States or abroad — are living freely in the U.S., outside of Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention, according to data ICE provided to Congress earlier this week.
The immigrants are part of ICE’s “non-detained” docket, meaning the agency has some information on the immigrants and they have pending immigration cases in the U.S., but they are not currently in detention either because they are not prioritized for detention or because ICE cannot find them. Just a thought.
Espen..
Norway’s chief diplomat, Espen Barth Eide told The Associated Press that “there is a growing consensus in the international community from Western countries, from Arab countries, from the Global South, that we need to establish a Palestinian Authority, a Palestinian government, a Palestinian state — and the Palestinian state has to be recognized.”
Eide said many issues need to be addressed, including the security interests of Israel and the Palestinians, recognition and normalization of relations after decades of conflict and the demobilization of Hamas as a military group.
Hope for a new world. Just a thought.
Fraud..
Bronx-based former immigration attorney, Kofi Amankwaa, pled guilty to immigration fraud in federal court on Sept. 17 in connection with his supervision of a multi-year scheme to file fraudulent immigration documents under the Violence Against Women Act (“VAWA”), federal prosecutors said. As reported in January, Attorney General Letitia James sued Amankwaa and other lawyers for scamming immigrants.
In the context of the announcement, Damian Williams, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, said Amankwaa pled guilty before U.S. District Judge Katherine Polk Failla, adding, “For years, Kofi Amankwaa oversaw a massive immigration fraud scheme, filing thousands of immigration documents falsely alleging that his clients were victims of abuse by their children or other family members.”
