INS Workers Probed in Terrorist Friendly Corruption Scam

DOJgov.net Newswire February 14, 2003

Investigators are conducting a probe into another possible security breach that has allowed terrorists to operate freely in America, set up sleeper cells and commit acts of terrorism.

Federal authorities are investigating whether corrupt Immigration and Naturalization Service workers at 26 Federal Plaza New York City helped a Pakistani man obtain authentic immigration documents for customers willing to shell out up to $27,000.

Mohammad Yaqoob Bhatti, 45, pleaded not guilty to possessing false identification yesterday.

Federal prosecutors charged three other Pakistani men with buying permanent-resident cards and passports embossed with special INS stamps. Court records reveal that these are the documents prized by terrorists because they are then capable of traveling freely.

In at least two cases, Bhatti provided buyers with a new identity that allowed them to get “replacement” foreign passports from the Pakistani Embassy with their own pictures on them.

He then accompanied the men to the INS office in lower Manhattan, where an official applied a stamp that indicates the holder is a permanent resident.

Since 1996, former US Department of Justice Immigration and Naturalization Service employee and whistleblower Caryl B. Leventhal has been attempting to stop this type of activity, including the sale of Green Cards. Her efforts earned her brutalization, termination and death threats.

In 1999, she published her website www.Justice-Denied.net which chronicles her ongoing battle to keep America safe from terrorists and a corrupt, indolent and vindictive US Department of Justice Immigration and Naturalization Service.

Americans are Murdered and the US Department of Justice is on the Scene... to Guarantee Their Success!

DOJgov.net newswire May 16, 2002

On March 26, 2002 the US Office of the Special counsel acknowledged that since April 1996 and continuing long afterwards, former US Department of Justice employee Caryl B. Leventhal had been blowing the whistle on corrupt "terrorist friendly" activities within that agency.

On May 16, 2002 the Washington Post wrote that prior to the murders of 4,000 Americans on September 11th, the White House, CIA and the US Department of Justice were aware of what was about to happen.

Is there commonality between the brutalization of a whistleblowing USDOJ employee (now disabled with Multiple Sclerosis) and a Justice Department bureaucracy scampering to cover their opening the doors of America to terrorism?

Plenty!

Expected future terrorism will most likely be aided and carried out by people already inside the United States. Whether through Visas, or as with what Caryl Leventhal has been warning us about… the purchase of Green Cards from corrupt INS employees and processing of residency paperwork with incomplete investigations… these terrorists walk among us. It is highly probable that many have become citizens and are well integrated into our society.

Since 1996 Caryl Leventhal has waged a battle within a Department of Justice’s system that threatened prosecution and even loss of life if she didn’t shut up. And this type of response from the US Department of Justice was not limited to the now disabled Ms. Leventhal. It extended to other dedicated USDOJ employees who were sickened by incompetent and corrupt bureaucracy.

The man hours and money the USDOJ spent in intimidating and silencing whistleblowers to potential terrorism was compounded by a prevailing attitude among their tenured and protected middle management that placed pension above patriotism.

In an article dated May 16, 2002, the Washington Post stated: "Until now, the growing congressional scrutiny of possible warning signs before Sept. 11 has focused on the [USDOJ] FBI’s actions, including the bureau’s handling of a memo written on July 2001 by an agent in Phoenix.

A senior U.S. official who has reviewed the classified memo said that the FBI agent had made a "strong connection" between a group of Middle Eastern aviation students he was investigating and Osama bin Laden’s al Qaeda network. The link was included in the five-page memorandum sent to FBI headquarters two months before the attacks."

And now, elected officials like Senator Richard C. Shelby (Republican of Alabama), Senator Richard J. Durbin (Democrat of Illinois) and Senator Charles E. Grassley (Republican of Iowa) are up in arms again.

Since the Congressional Cox Report of 1997 revealed severe weaknesses by way of a virtual open door policy to terrorism, these 535 congressional song and dance elected officials have covered themselves with indignation at our vulnerability. At the same time, they have done nothing more than billow self-serving camouflage for themselves, the United States Department of Justice and its bastard stepchild, the Immigration and Naturalization Service.

On March 19, 2001 - some six months before September 11^th, Caryl Ball Leventhal wrote to all members of the Senate and House Judiciary Committees. In this correspondence, she informed them of conditions involving our corrupt and indolent open door policy to terrorism and her battle for a symbolic good will apology from the US Department of Justice. Her response was several form letters and no concern about the safety of the American people.

In reaction to warnings by the CIA and typically grand screw-ups by the US Department of Justice, Senator Charles E. Grassley stated in an interview that the reference to bin Laden "is so obvious that it should have gotten more attention."

Based on what is coming out, the US Department of Justice couldn’t have been more responsible for our incinerated Americans if they flew the September 11^th aircraft of death themselves.

9/11 Mastermind: Original Plan Involved 10 Planes and Combined Attacks When US Department of Justice was Using its Resources to Silence Whistleblowers

DOJgov.net Newswire September 21, 2003

WASHINGTON - Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, has told American interrogators that he first discussed the plot with Osama bin Laden in 1996 and that the original plan called for hijacking five commercial jets on each U.S. coast before it was modified several times, according to interrogation reports reviewed by The Associated Press.

At the same time, the US Department of Justice and INS were using their resources to threaten, terminate and silence USDOJ employee and Whistleblower Caryl Leventhal. While an employee of the USDOJ's Immigration and Naturalization Service, Ms. Leventhal attempted to stop the selling of Green Cards and issuing of visas without proper background checks.

Ms. Leventhal was physically threatened, brutalized, terminated and threatened with arrest and prosecution if she didn't stop in her efforts to keep terrorist sleeper cells from being set up in America.

Mohammed also divulged that, in its final stages, the hijacking plan called for as many as 22 terrorists and four planes in a first wave, followed by a second wave of suicide hijackings that were to be aided possibly by al-Qaida allies in southeast Asia, according to the reports.

Over time, bin Laden scrapped various parts of the Sept. 11 plan, including attacks on both coasts and hijacking or bombing some planes in East Asia, Mohammed is quoted as saying in reports that shed new light on the origins and evolution of the plot of Sept. 11, 2001.

INS Actions aid Muhammad and Malvo in Murder Spree that Kills 10 in Maryland and Virginia

DOJgov.net Newswire October 27, 2002

Both psychologically and physically, John Allen Muhammad, 41, and John Lee Malvo, 17 were joined at the hip. Muhammad was the Nation of Islam Al Qaeda sympathizer who chose that name as a sign of kinship with the Arab terrorists who murdered over 3,000 innocent Americans on September 11, 2001. Malvo was the sociopathic illegal alien from Jamaica who the US Department of Justice, Immigration and Naturalization Service set loose on the American people.

They were bound by a hatred of Americans and in a very real sense, fed off each other to form a lethal combination of terrorism.

But on October 24, 2002 the Associated Press reported that a Justice Department official defended the Immigration and Naturalization Service's decision to set John Lee Malvo free even though the Jamaican teenager faced possible deportation.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, rejected criticism voiced by Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., who attacked the INS decision. Tancredo made his charge shortly after Malvo, 17, and John Allen Muhammad, 41, were described by the leaders of a state and federal police task force as the two individuals responsible for the deaths of 10 people in a series of sniper shootings that terrorized the Washington, D.C., area.

The Justice Department official said the agency acted properly in Malvo's case because it does not require the posting of bonds for juvenile immigrants who are arrested with their parents.

In this case, Una James, Malvo's mother, who was also accused of entering the United States illegally with her son, was required to post a $1,500 bond, pending a Nov. 20 deportation hearing. Malvo, then 16, was released into the custody of his mother, which is standard INS policy, the official said.

James and Malvo were cited by a Border Patrol officer in January for illegally entering the United States after Bellingham, Wash., police investigated an incident at a homeless shelter where they were living. They told the officer that they had arrived in the United States as stowaways on a ship filled with Asians, Tancredo said.

Although the Border Patrol officer who cited them in Bellingham listed them as stowaways, the Justice Department official said they were not stowaways under U.S. law. A stowaway does not have the right to be released on bond, the official said. The Justice official said that after their arrest, another INS official reclassified their arrest to allow them to be released, pending their November hearing on the illegal-entry charges. This was done, even though the officer who arrested them described the two as likely to flee.

This is standard INS practice to reduce caseload, even at the expense of safety to Americans.

In the legal profession, judicial ethics is little more than the appearance of propriety. Put simply, fingers can't be pointed at you as long as legal technicalities can be manipulated to validate your actions. It has nothing to do with common sense, justice, safety or not acting like a bureaucratic robot. And since the USDOJ INS writes their own legal guidelines, they build in clauses to cloak themselves behind this appearance of propriety whenever things go wrong.

Well things went very wrong. But a bureaucratically traitorous US Department of Justice and their Immigration and Naturalization Service continues to be more interested in using self-serving regulations to cover their errors in common sense. They continue responding to terrorism by ripping away American liberty and waiting for more of us to die.

Bush Panel: FBI failing as counterterrorism agency

Feb 14, 2004 (AP)

WASHINGTON - The FBI ``has many miles to travel'' in its attempt to remake itself as a topflight counterterrorism agency and the outcome is in doubt, according to a presidential commission.

Intelligence operations are not structured to ensure that information is shared within the FBI, the panel said in a report issued Thursday.

It also warned of potentially ominous consequences of ongoing turf battles and lack of cooperation between the CIA and FBI on terrorism cases that shift from overseas to American soil.

``The failure of CIA and FBI to cooperate and share information adequately on such cases could potentially create a gap in the coverage of these threats, like the one the September 11 attack plotters were able to exploit,'' the commission said.

The latest report on U.S. intelligence failures was gloomier than its predecessors about the FBI's prospects for remaking itself following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

The new report raised questions about the direction Mueller is taking, and it recommended overhauling the intelligence set-up that has been in place barely a year. ``In our view, the FBI has not constructed its intelligence program in a way that will promote integrated intelligence efforts, and its ambitions have led it into unnecessary new turf battles with the CIA,'' the panel said.

FBI officials refused to comment on the report beyond a brief statement.

The FBI remains a crime-fighting agency in many respects, the panel said. Field offices put law enforcement ahead of intelligence-gathering because, as one agent told the commission, ``Bin Laden is never going to Des Moines.''

Though there are more analysts than ever, the FBI still tends to treat them as second-class citizens, the panel said. It identified one instance in which they were given clerical tasks unimaginable for an FBI agent to help clear up a backlog.

The panel said those problems raised an overarching question: whether the FBI's latest effort to build an intelligence capability can overcome the resistance that scuttled past reforms. ``In our view, the effort this time is more determined, but the outcome is still in doubt,'' it said.

USDOJ Immigration & Naturalization Service Makes Terrorist an American Citizen

DOJgov.net Newswire November 14, 2002

The US Department of Justice Immigration and Naturalization Service is currently reviewing how it could have made someone suspected of having ties to the Islamic terrorist group Hezbollah a naturalized United States Citizen in October of 2002

As part of their administrative reviews, five agency employees in New York and Newark, including the senior official in charge of investigations in New York and a supervisor who oversees terrorism cases, were placed on paid leave on Tuesday, according to several officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity. It should be noted that this is giving these government employees extra vacation time paid by the taxpayer.

"Last week, the Immigration and Naturalization Service initiated a review of a matter involving the New York and the Newark district offices," said Nancy Cohen, a spokeswoman for the agency in Washington. "Several employees have been placed on administrative leave."

Ms. Cohen said the agency would not discuss the matter further, citing the nature of the review.

Several law enforcement officials said the review was undertaken because a man was under scrutiny by the F.B.I.-N.Y.P.D. Joint Terrorist Task Force prior to and including the time he was granted citizenship. For some time now, the United States government has designated Hezbollah as a foreign terrorist organization.

A file containing allegations against the man, whose name could not be determined yesterday, was in the hands of investigators on the task force in New York, but was apparently not reviewed by the INS employees in Newark who handled the man's citizenship application, the officials said

Among those placed on administrative leave were two INS adjudicators (as yet unnamed) in Newark who had some role in the naturalization of the man, officials said. In addition, Dan Molerio, the assistant district director for investigations, Richard Coraggio, an INS supervisor on the task force, and an INS agent on the task force were also placed on administrative leave.

All five are on leave for an unspecified period during the review, which will be conducted by the agency's Office of Internal Audit.

The details of how the man became a citizen were unclear yesterday, and several officials said the investigation into any ties he might have to Hezbollah had not yet been completed. It was also unclear whether any action would be taken to withdraw his citizenship. This takes a lengthy procedure that is very rare.

The naturalization process includes fingerprint checks with the F.B.I. Citizens of foreign countries seeking American citizenship must provide a letter from their local Police Department saying that they have never been arrested, and they must be interviewed by an INS examiner, who administers a history test and makes sure they understand English. Applicants must also take an oath to support the principles of the United States Constitution.

Since the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the Immigration and Naturalization Services has been relied on to play an increasingly important role in the government's antiterrorism efforts. A series of widely publicized bureaucratic missteps, including the mailing of visa extensions to two of the dead Sept. 11 hijackers six months after the attack, have undermined the agency's credibility.

Additionally, the Immigration and Naturalization Service has a long history of silencing whistleblowers to behavior that some have considered to be "terrorist friendly." This includes the wholesale selling of Green Cards and haphazard processing of visa paperwork in INS 26 Federal Plaza New York.

Efforts to create a new Department of Homeland Security in Washington moved forward in Congress yesterday as the House approved a revised Homeland Security bill that could absorb the INS entirely and split it into two parts. But nothing has ever been mentioned about terminating incompetent and apathetic employees.

Representative F. James Sensenbrenner Jr. of Wisconsin, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and a leading critic of the I.N.S., said yesterday that he had ordered his staff members to look into how a man under investigation with ties to a terrorist group could become a citizen.

"This case raises the disturbing question: `If the I.N.S. can't track suspected terrorists, how can they track anybody?' "

Congress has conducted numerous investigations but has never done anything concrete to resolve INS’ root problems.

And the terrorist friendly corruption doesn't end here. Click for their continued antics of placing America at risk, as the Immigration and Naturalization Service is hidden deep within the Homeland Security Agency.
