Lima, Peru - On Friday, Moises Mory Lamas, who was deported on September 9th from Newark, New Jersey, U.S.A. to Lima, announced that Telemundo news agency interviewed him on Thursday in Peru concerning his plight with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Mory Lamas confirmed, the Telemundo interview will be aired on Wednesday, September 29, at 6:30 p.m. Milwaukee, Wisconsin, U.S.A. time, and focus on his immigration case.
He was unjustly deported while he had cases pending in court and was suing ICE for not providing him with transcripts of a decision to revoke his deportation during a Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) hearing. A page from the BIA hearing turned up missing in which the BIA decided not to remove Mory Lamas from the U.S. Mory Lamas had also requested transcripts from other hearings and cases with ICE. Even a federal judge ordered ICE to release the documents to Mory Lamas in order for him to legally defend himself, but ICE failed to provide the documents and abide with the judges order, according to Mory Lamas.
While detained in 2008 in an Alabama detention facility, Mory Lamas at first had limited access to legal documents, a library and the internet to help prepare his case to challenge deportation. He was later transferred to New Jersey again and ICE kept his legal documents from him for numerous months in order for Mory Lamas to miss filing dates with the U.S. Supreme Court.
ICE previous actions shows that officials violated federal Judge Dennis Cavanaugh's order to provide Mory Lamas with transcripts and they intentionally withheld documents for months. The witholding of transcripts and documents from undocumented immigrants is common with ICE, in order for immigrants to miss filing dates on BIA immigration cases, and federal court appeal cases, rendering their cases to be closed and then get deported (removed from the U.S.).
Reviewing the Mory Lamas deportation case will indeed reveal that ICE reluctance to timely release transcripts when legally requested by undocumented immigrants is common and in most cases illegal.
The Mory Lamas immigration case is just the tip of the ICE and fractured legal system within ICE. A lack of accountability to remedy and remove ICE officials that violate the legal rights of detainees continues to exist today.
Insight details concerning what led to the removal of Mory Lamas from New Jersey by ICE will definately show a broken immigration system and departments within it don't even respect and abide by legal procedures. Mory Lamas had a petition for amnesty, federal cases pending and a work authorization until 2011, and ICE officials allegedly disregarded them and removed Mory Lamas from the U.S.
Mory Lamas had 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.
