Newark, New Jersey - On September 9th, Moises Roger Mory-Lamas, 53, in a telephone interview from Lima, Peru says, three male and one female ICE agents picked him up from the county jail in Newark at about 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 8, and deported him from the U.S. They transported him to New York to catch a flight to Peru, while video taping his plight from the Essex County Correctional Facility all the way to the New York Airport.
Mory-Lamas says, he told them during the video taping, that he had several federal cases pending, including in the U.S. Supreme Court and that they were violating his rights by deporting him. The ICE agents just kept video taping for three to four hours.
Mory-Lamas revealed that ICE had locked down the Essex County jail for two weeks, to keep other detainees from complaining about ICE's questionable activities with the Mory-Lamas case. No visitors were allowed or media into the facility, according to Mory-Lamas.
Even two ICE agents accompanied Mory-Lamas all the way to Lima, Peru and had video taped the whole flight ordeal he went through. The flight to Peru left New York Kennedy Airport at midnight and he arrived in Lima at 7:40 a.m. on Thursday.
He said, he will file a complaint against Consul Alejandro Beoutis and the Consulate in Newark and will continue to challenge his deportation by ICE.
ICE has spend more than $400,000 in the Mory-Lamas case alone, including flight passages for two ICE agents to accompanied him to Peru. The U.S. government would have saved thousands of dollars, if they would have allowed him to remain in the country, according to sources.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deported Mory-Lamas to Peru, despite a pending immigration appeal case and a petition for amnesty, including residency and work authorization until 2011, according to Mory-Lamas. He fought and challenged his deportation for more than 11 years, until last week when ICE agents finally deported him.
Mory-Lamas arrived in Peru and is currently staying with a sister. His Pro-bono Attorney Glenn Troublefield will continue to challenge Mory-Lamas deportation by ICE in federal court, according to family members. Attorney Troublefield could not be reached for comment.
Mory-Lamas' deportation is a testament of how ICE under ICE Assistant Secreatry John T. Morton, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, President Barack H. Obama, and U.S Attorney General Eric Himpton Holder Jr. have embarked in extreme alleged illegal procedures to deport undocumented immigrants in 2010, according to Mory-Lamas' family and immigration rights activists.
On August 23, Mory-Lamas was arrested when he failed to buy an airline ticket for voluntary departure. Mory-Lamas was taken to the Essex County Correctional Facility, 354 Doremus Avenue in Newark for deportation. His arrest resulted from alleged dubious actions by ICE agents that transpired a week earlier.
On August 12, three ICE agents took Peruvian citizen Mory-Lamas to the Peru Consulate in Paterson from an ICE office he was reporting as required, so Consul Alejandro Beoutis could approve his deportation. Mory-Lamas had alleged, Consul Beoutis told him he had to surrender his Peruvian passport to ICE, or face legal authorization for ICE to deport him anyway from the Peru government, if he wouldn't comply. He said, that afterwards ICE agents took him home and confiscated his Peruvian passport, as approved and mandated by Consul Beoutis.
A Consulate official denied that Beoutis or the Consulate was forcing Mory-Lamas to give up his Peruvian passport, but an official Peruvian Consulate Act (agreement for voluntary departure) signed by Beoutis, and three ICE agents in Spanish says otherwise. The Mory-Lamas family members now say, Beoutis and the Consulate were provided certain services from the U.S. government for Beoutis cooperation, which is deemed inappropriate. Family members are trying to set up a meeting with the Peruvian Embassador to ask for an investigation leading to an agreement by Consul Beoutis to allow ICE agents to confiscate Mory-Lamas' Peruvian passport. ICE agents actually don't have an official capacity or jurisdiction while at the Consulate under Peruvian law.
Morton, ICE Assistant Secretary and his top administrative officials and the Department of Homeland Security have received through e-mail the previous article from Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA), "Immigrant Ordered To Depart Voluntarily By September To Peru, Despite Open Federal Immigration Appeal Cases" concerning allegations of illegal acts by three ICE agents and they haven't responded or have provided any comment to HNNUSA.
Mory-Lamas previously accused, Peruvian Consul Beoutis, and three ICE agents identified in the Act signatures as Juan Mezarina, Oscar Torres and James Laforge of violating his rights, under immigration law and the U.S. Constitution.
A Peruvian citizen has a right to enter a Peruvian Consulate for official purposes, but with U.S. agents as escorts is considered illegal, and they have no diplomatic status to sign such an Act inside the Consulate, considered foreign soil.
The Mory-Lamas case is proof how disfunctional and probable acts committed by federal agencies under former President George W. Bush and current President Barack H. Obama.
Mory-Lamas has spend at least five years in immigration detention, until he was released in early 2009. Mory-Lamas was convicted of possession of drugs, a minor state offense. He pleaded no-contest in 1986, and his lawyer did not advice Mory-Lamas of the consequences and possible deportation. He served 6 months in jail and was fined $30.00 for the conviction.
He began his appeal in 1999, served one year in '99 and then served four years from 2004 and was finally released in January 2009. Since then, Mory-Lamas was put on an electronic device, had to report to an ICE officer at least twice a week, until he finally was granted a work permit until 2011.
Ruth Mory a U.S. Citizen, his wife had petition for Mory-Lamas residency in 2004, under the 1986 amnesty Northwest Immigration Projects.
Mory-Lamas had a pending habeas corpus appeal with federal Judge Dennis Cavanaugh in the district of Newark, before being deported.
Mory-Lamas has a 17-year-old daughter who is a U.S Citizen.
Ruth Mory, Moises' wife is a cancer survivor, suffers from diabetes and other ailments was taken to the hospital for emotional stress and high blood pressure on Tuesday, September 7, and was released on Thursday, September 9. Family members say, Ruth condition could suffer further stress and could turn fatal, especially now that ICE deported her husband who was the principle income earner for the family.
