Holder refused to acknowledge ACTUAL rights violations by corrupt tribes in Indian Country, as did his predecessors. Holder can't claim they didn't know, as the Justice Department is a frequent visitor to this blog, having come here two days before this post..TWICE.
Eric Holder is a DISGRACE, hopefully his successor will be better.

ReplyDeleteIt does seem incongruous to investigate civil rights violations in Ferguson when it was evident that there were none, and then to fail to investigate civil rights violations in Indian Country when a great deal of evidence supports the allegations that civil rights have been violated. Maybe we are going about this the wrong way. Maybe instead of getting in the DOJ and the Attorney General's face and accusing them of malfeasance or neglect of duty, perhaps it would be better to request a policy statement from the department to use as a guideline.
ReplyDeleteSuch a policy statement regarding the DOJ's stand on the denial of due process, unequal treatment under the law, violations of tribal law that enable the theft of federal benefits or denial of eligibility for benefits, would help us to understand what we can expect from the DOJ. I personally would like to know if it is their policy to tolerate these abuses of civil rights, or if they are unaware of them, if they have a procedure to address them, what the trigger for an investigation might be, what kind of evidence they would require, etc.
Has anyone tried anything like this? Just making a simple request for a policy statement so we know where the DOJ stands and what they will or won't do?
I haven't seen a letter like you envision RR.
ReplyDeleteCan you put one together and I'll post it?
I have just visited the website of the DOJ where the policy statements and guidelines are posted. The DOJ has a Civil Rights Division, and the policy is stated clearly. The Criminal Section prosecutes cases involving the violent interference with liberties and rights defined in the Constitution of federal law.
ReplyDeleteSo the trigger is violence which is why there was a focus on Ferguson and not on disenrollments in Indian Country which have been mostly peaceful.
I will work on a letter requesting a policy statement on the violations that have been committed against tribal members. I believe there are two categories of violations that might be worthy of prosecution. The first is the theft of benefits and the denial of benefit eligibility that is inherent in the termination of tribal membership. The second is the violation of due process and equal protection under the law, which are civil rights violations.
There might be a third category which is racial discrimination, especially as it is practiced in Pechanga, where apartheid has led to the dehumanization of disenrollees, and a number of actions that target individuals based on their race. I have experienced this racism myself, and the assertion that disenrollees don't belong to their own tribe simply because some tribal leaders want to exclude them.
It may take some time to prepare this properly since it is a normal practice for federal agencies to treat personal inquiries differently than formal requests for assistance.
Anyone know a lawyer who might be willing to lend their name (pro bono) to a formal request for a policy statement on the abuses in Indian Country? If there is a lawyer involved the DOJ will be more likely to respond.

ReplyDeleteAn amazing testimony on a spell caster who brought my husband back to me.. My name is Natasha Johnson,i live in Florida,USA,and I'm happily married to a lovely and caring husband ,with three kids. A very big problem occurred in my family seven months ago,between me and my husband .so terrible that he took the case to court for a divorce.he said that he never wanted to stay with me again,and that he didn't love me anymore.So he packed out of the house and made me and my children passed through severe pain. I tried all my possible means to get him back,after much begging,but all to no avail.and he confirmed it that he has made his decision,and he never wanted to see me again. So on one evening,as i was coming back from work,i met an old friend of mine who asked of my husband .So i explained every thing to him,so he told me that the only way i can get my husband back,is to visit a spell caster,because it has really worked for him too.So i never believed in spell,but i had no other choice,than to follow his advice. Then he gave me the email address of the spell caster whom he visited.{bravespellcaster@gmail.com}. So the next morning,i sent a mail to the address he gave to me,and the spell caster assured me that i will get my husband back the next day.What an amazing statement!! I never believed,so he spoke with me,and told me everything that i need to do. Then the next morning, So surprisingly, my husband who didn't call me for the past seven {7}months,gave me a call to inform me that he was coming back.So Amazing!! So that was how he came back that same day,with lots of love and joy,and he apologized for his mistake,and for the pain he caused me and my children. Then from that day,our relationship was now stronger than how it were before,by the help of a spell caster. So, i will advice you out there to kindly visit the same website { http://enchantedscents.tripod.com/lovespell/},if you are in any condition like this,or you have any problem related to "bringing your ex back. So thanks to the Dr Brave for bringing back my husband ,and brought great joy to my family once again. { bravespellcaster@gmail.com }, Thanks..
