From the Executive Suite to Immigration Jail Statement of JOSEEN Howarth-Gates-Carreon A070349296 Inmate 81002 McHenry Co Jail IL. Josieg6@hotmail.com 5/9/08
After 20 years and 2 marriages, waiting for my green card, I was awoken by beating on the door at 6.30am, I was in my bathrobe, Officers Youssif, Hatchett and Navarro pushed their way into my home and Navarro said he had a warrant for my arrest. They claimed I was a victim of identity theft to gain access to my home. I was then told I had to dress. Officer Navarro kept asking if there was a man in the house, I kept saying no, he was confused because my living room was set up as a gym. As I started to go upstairs, I had a seizure, they were not trained for this, as I came conscious Officer Youssif kept lifting my head, which sends the blood away from the brain, and so I seized again and again. They nearly killed me. When I did come to, Officer Navarro was leaning over me, my robe was open. The paramedics were called, they asked me if I could get dressed, I could not walk, I crawled up the stairs, Officer Youssif followed me, Navarro tried to, I told him to stay downstairs, (I was naked under my bathrobe) Youssif kept the bathroom door open as I dressed, I was asked if I had prescriptions that I needed, I put lexapro and lorazepam in my purse. Paramedics strapped me on the gurney, and they told Navarro that my blood pressure was still too low for me to walk so they had to take me in the ambulance to the hospital. In hospital I was put on an IV and oxygen, Navarro raced downtown to get a document. The paramedics refused to allow ICE to take me. I know if they had, I may have died in their care.
In the emergency room, because the ICE Officers were afraid that they had nearly killed me, they provided me an immigration parole document, which stated that because they had failed to deport me for seven years (during which time they had my solid true address and tons of communications back and forth, so this was a complete sham) I was given Immigration parole, with a check in date of 5/13/09. I would not sign it without my lawyer. They said I could talk to my lawyer after. Officer Navarro was yelling at me that he was doing me a favour; all 3 of them were leaning over me and screaming at me, harassing me while I was on oxygen and an IV in a hospital bed in the emergency room. Navarro literally put the pen in my hand and forced me to sign it. Navarro even said that I could go to work with this document. I was still half conscious. I consider this to be extreme circumstances, duress and harassment.
Next day I noticed a large scratch on my inner thigh and a handprint, from the episode on the stairs with Youssif, who had hold of my head, and Navarro who was leaning over me and had hold of my leg for some reason. I filed a complaint about this with the OIG for Immigration. I went home from the hospital and spent 48 hours lying on the couch, unable to function or think, as the seizure had done much damage. I have since lost sight during my time in McHenry jail, some hearing, and struggle for some words. I was not examined in jail despite requesting medical care.
5/15/08 I was then rearrested outside of my home by about five officers including the above 3 – Navarro was again yelling at me, asking where that parole document was, he needed it back; I said it was with my Lawyer, he asked where my passport was, I said it was in the house behind me, lets get it – he said Cuff her and put her in the van. I said I needed my medications, they said I would get them when I got downtown. Downtown they did an inventory of my purse, but would not acknowledge a £200 Macy gift card as valuable. They also took my Gucci Watch, worth £600. I never saw it again! I was taken to 101 W. Congress, I was told I could make a phone call, I continued to ask to speak to my lawyer.
The phone in the cell at 101 W. Congress did not work, and I could not reach anyone until I reached LAFMC 2 weeks later. I was double shackled, and had no food until 4pm that day – I immediately made the officers aware of my medical issues, physical and mental health problems requiring medication and treatment, also Vaso Vagal Syncope. They paid no heed and made no accommodation. I was on Ambien, Lexapro and Lorazepam; (in the middle of a terrible divorce, spouse wanted my house and everything, extremely stressful) they took these drugs, but NEVER gave them to me in jail. I was dumped in McHenry County Jail on 5/15/09.
My alien number was not programmed into the phone system for several days so I was denied phone calls. 5/22/08 – The ICE man comes to the cells once a week and you get one question. I requested from Juan Cruz the ICE representative a copy of my Immigration file, FOIA forms –he said get it from your attorney. JC said that someone said they would bring my passport down to the ICE office at 101 W. Congress, I asked who said that, he said my case officer said it, his name is Bukstead. My phone ID does not work consistently, all inmates are denied access, forms and information every day. We are given underwear that has body stains and blood on it from other inmates. The bras stink of body odor and are filthy. The food causes diarrhoea; I am covered in a rash on my neck and chest. It started as soon as I got here.
5/22-23, 24, 25 No Gym time no exercise – this happens all the time. Food trays very dirty, not sanitized. Food is barely edible; signs on the wall say expect to lose 15-20lb. I weighed 118lb on arrival. 5/23 – taken to Psychiatrist Dr. Corcoran – I asked my obligation to cooperate and if so, where does this information go/who has access. I was given no answer. I requested to speak to my attorney first. I was told this was the end of the conversation and sent out.
5/25- locked down in the evening, no reason given. We received instruction from Officer Huntsberry to ‘close the door’ over the microphone, so I closed the door, she then said that I must stay in all evening and that we all should know the rules by now. I explained that if I have not been given the rules, and ESL and ETL people cannot explain them to me, what I am supposed to do, she said tough. And so I was denied access to the telephone again, and to exercise. I was also refused commissary list or to order envelopes, writing materials.
5/28 – regular doctor – I asked my obligation to cooperate and where the info goes – He said I didn’t want to cooperate! I said that’s not it; I want to know where the info goes – He asked when I was last in hospital – I said 5/9 when I was arrested because I had a double seizure when I was arrested – he said any previous – I said yes, April 05. He said any hospitalization, I said yes, 1991, when first husband tried to kill me (I was about to give him a complete medical history) He said what injuries, I was trying to remember, I couldn’t think straight, (it was traumatic) He said get her out of here to the Guard. I said Wait, I have Vase Vagal Syncope – don’t you even want to take my blood pressure? He said ‘We are done’ and had Guard take me out. Next in was Dolores Maria Santos, she was allowed to weigh herself. I asked Guard, Doctor said I could not weigh myself.
5/29 – No exercise. 5/30 – Officer Broderick announced over the tannoy that he would ‘spank us’ 5/30- We send faxes – Officer said that his sergeant did not allow us to receive fax confirm sheets – we have NO WAY TO KNOW if our faxes to our legal counsel are actually sent.
5/31 – Still no notary – I put in a request on 5/27. Was at least six days before, to notarize and urgent request for FOIA request form to send off for my complete immigration file that shows I was IN STATUS at the time they placed me in Deportation Proceedings. I was told again that I could not receive the fax confirms – we have to trust them.
5/31 – Given 2nd TB Shot – was not given a choice – they said it was because they failed to check the results of the first one, done a day or two after I was dumped in McHenry (when I was so stressed I can hardly recall the events and what I was told) I asked if it was safe to have Multiple TB Shots, and would the Nurse like to take one with me? I did NOT see the needle come out of a clean sterilized package, so I do NOT know if it was a used needle. I may have been exposed to HIV, Hepatitis, etc?? 5/31 – no gym, gym always in use for something else.
6/1 – no gym, no library- no library for Three weeks now. Only if they can ‘fit it in’ they are ‘short handed’ 6/2 I needed to notarize request for a copy of my Immigration file. Still no notary. 6/3 I asked Notary Directly when he was in the cells for something else. He said ok. I had heard from Lawyer that only time jail would allow him to speak to me was on
6/3 at 1pm CST in the jail. 6/2 – I was woken at 4am, awake all night, cuffs ankle shackles, taken down to 101 W. Congress – as 12 noon CST – I told the duty officer (after banging on the cell door for hours to get his attention) that the only reason I was downtown was to prevent me from speaking to my lawyer at the jail – this Officer went and got Officer Bukstead, He had my file (HUGE) in his hands, it was stamped on the front in huge letters RUSH – he quickly flipped it over so I couldn’t see that – He said he needed me to fill out a passport application. I said I needed to talk to my lawyer first. He said no problem, and he called the wrong place. He said ok we will just keep you in jail and bring you back again next week. Placed in van double shackles small van space 2.5x4x4ft dark no light no air; it took from 3pm – 6.45pm for a 1.5hr journey – several stops for drivers to smoke, smoking by the door coming into my airspace.
So awake for 6am on 6/2 to – 10pm on 6/3, so awake for 40 HOURS. THEY DID THIS EACH TIME as a method of torture. With Vaso Vagal Syncope, this lack of sleep can be fatal. Complete disregard for my health and safety. JUNE 4,5,6 No Gym, no library as usual IMMIGRATION PREVENTED ME TO MEETING WITH ATTY FROM 5/13 – 6/9/08.
6/9 Kept awake again from 6am, taken downstairs at 11pm, kept awake all night again – shackled in bus with other prisoners, there were two large males (criminal?) in the women’s section of the bus, (Maria Delores Santos Client of Geoff Heeren in the same bus) Downtown put in a room at 101 W. Congress – waited until 10am, Officer Salazar took me to meet with Geoff Heeren Attorney at Law for LAFMC. Was not allowed to meet privately – Officer Salazar kept opening the door and interrupting, she wanted me to fill out a passport application. I wanted to cooperate fully but due to being kept awake, and being denied medication I was not in a fit state. I did not get to speak properly with my attorney at any time.
6/17 – DOG RAID IN JAIL – 5-6 officers from CERT made all of the female inmates lie on the floor face down. The dogs were walked over us. We were then told to stand, facing the walls, arms up, we were then patted down, (privates were touched) by female officer. We then went to the gym while 3-4 large German shepherd dogs and one Labrador dog were take through section 3 where women are housed. Dogs left smell, piss, dander and fleas.
WE ARE MADE TO CLEAN WITH TOXIC CHEMICALS AND NO GLOVES – we are made to clean the day room, phones, cells, public bathroom, windows sinks toilets every day with used newspaper and Chemical Sprays. GREEN CHEMICAL – manufacturer – Henry Cabay &Sons McHenry IL 1800-578-8763 ‘no care non acid disinfectant’ – active ingredients – .09 Benzyl Ammonium Chloride (safety notice on bottle – if it comes into contact with skin, wash with cold water for at least 20 minutes – it is a toxic spray. 0.09 Dimethyl Ethybenzyl Ammonium Chloride WHITE CHEMICAL – same manufacturer –
6/18/08 early Juan Cruz ICE representative, was in putting up all the signage regarding Immigrant rights that is supposed to be posted – 6/18/08 JULIE MYERS VISIT – then at 2pm – As I was writing this, Julie Myers entered the facility, with several guests in tow to show them around. She tried to engage four non English speaking prisoners in a conversation. I told her she could talk to me. (Most people were staying in their cells because it was SO COLD in the day room at that point) She sat down, and I asked who she was, she said ‘I’m Julie Myers’ I said what you do, she said ‘fine thank you’ I said, NO, WHAT YOU DO? She said ‘I’m Head of ICE’ -So I gave her a brief overview of some of the problems here, she said she would have her legal counsel Rafael Sanchez contact Geoff Heeren. After she left, I was asked to speak to Levon Temple, 770-841-6776 about ‘problems’ with the facilities, I said I would have Geoff Heeren contact him. His direct number is 240-357-6432, levon.temple@nakamotogroup.com
An immigrant’s rights group was to protest outside McHenry this day and I think the signage was ICE’ attempt to cover up the fact that they do not provide the required information to inmates. DUST – Every inmate has clogged noses, blood and snot each morning, now getting blood in my snot every morning, the vents have never been cleaned for years – sometimes there is a strong smell of cars/gasoline exhaust that is pumped in. This indicates the air input valve is in close proximity to either garage parking or working equipment of some kind. Margaret Thompson Inmate (Jamaica) has been here ten months, and has never seen any kind of cleaning being done other than by inmates as described above. Above a line on the walls, there is obvious orange dust, as the uniforms are orange, they are laundered onsite, and orange dust is somehow pumped back in with the air supply, and we get to breathe it in.
TB – Detainee Pong Young, Inmate Number 80153, collapsed on her way to court approx 4/28/08. She was in North-western Hospital, her medical record from the hospital shows that she had active TB and an enlarged heart. They gave her pills. I do not know if she took them. This medical record from North-western was later destroyed by the guards. I did fax a copy to Geoff Heeren for him to help Pong if possible. BIRD FLU – inmates are brought straight from the airport, some unable speak English straight from China. I am now covered in the same rash as everyone else, small red dots from my neck glands down, and larger yellow lumps that burst and leave scars. ASBESTOS – I have sample of the stuff that is sticking out of the doors in McHenry. It looks like asbestos. It is blowing around in this jail.
6/19 – Chen Feng Yung (speaks Chinese only) was told to sign a document, she was not allowed to read it, neither was I, it was a Custody Review, Fast Date, but it included her waiving her rights, she did not sign, she asked for them to send it to her lawyer, they said only if she signs it! Officer Bundy was witness to this.
6/20 – Maria Delores Aceves Santos, who said she is schizoaffective disorder, threatened me. I told officer Padgett she had threatened me, Maria is trying to get the other Mexicans to believe that I have been talking about them, and she said she can make a fall look like an accident. I was called into the Hallway, Officer Lowery told me she has accused me of discussing peoples business – I told him she does this each week to a different person, she was locked down last week for not taking her Schizo medication – I asked him how they can protect me. I was moved to a downstairs area and they said they would watch over me. Officer Padgett was a witness.
6/22 Sun – 11.30am, Nakamoto group interviewed 5 of us separately – they are contracted by ICE to clean/maintain the jails One inmate announced that ‘someone’ had been giving names, and she was going to ‘fuck them up’ This is an ongoing problem, in this braintrust. Everyone stupidly complained about the food. I complained that giving me underwear with blood on it and then giving me replacement undies from the same batch was not good. He wrote that I was ‘satisfied’ He also tried to trick me into saying I had received a satisfactory answer from ICE/J Cruz – I told him that I had asked for copies of my file, instead I was asked for my passport – I told him various people and one schizophrenic had decided to focus their anger on me, and I did not feel safe. I asked about the chemicals, and he said they were safe. Torture – watching others suffer: Susamma Matthews – again, no criminal record, and no charges at all, dragged from her home by 10-15 federal agents – along with her son – Susamma was 60 ish, Indian lady with high blood pressure and diabetes, so they wake her at 5am to record her blood pressure, it shows low, they take her blood sugar as soon as she has eaten, to show it is ok; the rest of the time because she is NOT OK she is either on the cold floor or on the bunk in her cell, unable to function. She has a urine infection they won’t treat, it progresses to a kidney infection, she is shaking and jolting with the pains inside her, and the guards will not do anything and punish me for asking for help for her. I made phone calls to the OIG hotline to get her help, telling them she would die if they did not do something. They wanted her to walk down the stairs, she couldn’t, (they are laughing when she is throwing up and falling down off the toilet onto the floor headfirst) With another inmate we walked in front and behind her so she did not fall down the stairs, we tried to carry her, the guard was annoyed, nobody told him he had to deal with this, he called for a wheelchair. They took her up to medical where she said they gave her antibiotics; she lost 10 pounds in 10 days..the day she walked back into the main cell, and she was woken at 4am and shoved on to the plane that night. She too had applied for her green card. Her file was marked RUSH too. She was told that her appeal had been denied because they had already purchased her airline ticket.
Pong Young – Pong had served time for heroin. She explained to me how that happened, she had five miscarriages and the last one was so painful with surgery that she took opium pills, which progressed to Heroin. On the way to downtown, a 2-4 hour van ride, she had a heart attack in the van while shackled, they had to take her to Northwestern Hospital (April 08) There they diagnosed active TB and an enlarged heart. She was given antibiotics by the hospital and put back into the main room with everyone else, including me. Her husband was a veteran, and ex military, she was being held because a law was passed in 2003 allowed DHS to detain anyone with criminal offences. She had lived in the US on a valid green card for at least 25 years. They told her when her husband called her, but would not let her talk to him. He told her that they would not allow him into the jail because his wheelchair didn’t fit the doorways so he could not visit her. He was diabetic, he slipped into a coma with no one to care for him, he came out, and tried to walk with a walker so that he could visit her, he couldn’t do it. She was woken in the middle of the night, and told she was going home. All excited after 3 months in this freezing hellhole, she left her papers in her cell. They put her in double shackles and drove her around for 12 hours, then lead her still shacked into a room, she said ‘where is this?’ It was a funeral home, they told her she cold not touch her husbands body. She was from Korea, and entitled to Asylum if they take away her green card. She has no one in Korea after all this time. Her home and her husband are gone. She is entitled to her husbands military and police pensions, but his family will not assist her, so she is likely deported to die in Korea.
I watched all of these people suffer under the physical conditions and mental duress put upon us in McHenry County Jail. AFFECTED CLASS IN MCHENRY – Susamma Matthews (India) denied correct medication, they nearly killed her. Her son Bobby – 352-281-5650 Pong Young Inmate 80153, A34392798, Jee Foo, Inmate 80522, A74654770 Kwhala Inshasi – released to Chicago after 90 days. Waiting for her greencard.

Nickname – Tin Tin – Mei Huang A99035217 – Chinese. Jessica Lea Jahn – Greencard holder, deported to Germany. Reachable on facebook.
The inmates here are worried that if they speak up or if I speak up, it will affect them negatively. Also there are some seriously paranoid people in here, who are constantly spreading rumours that I am trying to create trouble for inmates. Maria Delores Aceves Santos is trying to incite a riot against me she did not take her meds for ten days; Maria is not in her right mind, and constantly making trouble for someone, the guards are watching me because of her.
6/22/08 – Smoke from nearby fire visible from Cell window, coming in thru vents – every inmate can smell it. 6/23 – Constant harassment from MDA Santos (inmate) eventually I yelled at her in English – Officer cautioned me that if we can’t get along then one of us would get sent to Segregation. So I am housed with the mentally ill, and no protection is given, just threats. Officers cannot understand the constant verbal harassment in Spanish, I do. Roomy Joseph threatened to beat my ass, she is afraid that I am ‘giving names’ and she will be deported to Pakistan.
6/24 Leticia Garcia (served 4 yrs for drugs before being placed in Immigration jail) threatened me. 6/25 – 6pm Gave request to Officer Padgett to go to Law Library, he said ICE guys had access, he would check into it for me. 6/26- Augustina Trejo Hernandez Inmate 25036 signed a stipulated order of removal. Apparently we are supposed to be medically screened, weighed. It has not happened.
6/27 – New Request for Law Library – 4pm on ICE form – food so bad no fibre bowel blocked severely constipated. Officer Fruehe called me over the Intercom said 2nd Request wont speed up the 1st Request which is good for a week – so I said ‘it will be this week then?’ she said ‘we’ll try’ 3.40pm Asked Officer Padgett about the temp in the dayroom it is extremely cold, (we are all wearing two shirts inside the uniform top) 6/27 – I am in Extreme Distress – loud threats from Zoloft patient (Garcia) and Schizo patient (Santos), plus their friend Maria Avelar Bahena. We all try to ignore the screaming. Olivia Perham, of Indiana (Serbian), Jessica Jahn (Germany) witnesses, Olivia claims her mother in law knows the Indiana Governor. It has been arranged that I can go in my room anytime and lock down for my safety. Officer informed me upstairs, Officer Padgett aware also.
6/27 – Today NEW underwear was distributed for some reason (M Thompson said in previous ten months this has not happened) 6/28 – It has been absolutely FREEZNG in here for two days, officers say it is too hot up where they are – we are all wearing double clothing. 4pm called the OIG HOTLINE was transferred to Special agent Officer Torres, – I could hear his kids in the background – he said Heat request had to be between our lawyers and the jail (I told him that day that 31 women were freezing) He said contact Alex J. Pires, Washington DC 245 Murray Drive SE Bldg 410 Wash DC 20538. VISITATION DIFFERS FOR MEN THAN FOR WOMEN McHenry Men’s Visitation listed as Sun Tues Sat 12-1.30pm, 2.30-3.30pm, 6-9pm Mon 9-11am, 12- 1.30pm, 2.30-3.30pm, 6-9pm Womens Visitation hours: Sun 9-11am, Thurs 9-11am, 12-1.30pm, 2.30-3.30, 6-9pm Sat 9-11am 6/30 Officer Estrada said he would contact maintenance to fix the air, it is STILL FREEEZIG in here. 7/4 – 6.20pm – We had to request gym every day, and we were always told it was in use. Officer Fruehe announced that we had one minute to get ready to go to the gym room – this mean that up to 80 women tried to use the toilet in the dayroom at once…this gave the guard a laugh as they watched us on camera from the tower. They would only open the door for a minute, so I went through to the gym, and I requested to use the bathroom in the gym, I was told that if I wanted to go, I would have to go back to the main dayroom, and then I would not be allowed back to the gym. The day room was EXTREMELY cold, to avoid the freezing air, the Mexican girls were huddled together under the cell balcony, Officer Fruehe told them they were not allowed to sit there, and then she marched towards one girl and said to her ‘get out of my way’ ( Fruehe is not right in the head, this lady needs a psych exam) 7/4 Officer Lieutenant Lucas Sylvester.
7/4- Officer Taylor told me that he KNOWS nobody gets 5 hrs a week Law Library (what we are entitled to) after I requested of the IL Jail Standards. He said some of the people he works with are assholes. He said the reason we are not allowed to use the bathroom in the gym is because they cannot see it. I put written request to Officer Lusa/Sylvester and JC for a copy of IL Jail Standards, County Jail Standards and a list of the Detainees Rights documentation that we are all entitled to. I also put in a written request asking when was the AC in the jail last cleaned by a professional service? I WAS MOVED TO DODGE COUNTY JAIL AT NIGHT SOMETIME JULY 7- on arrival at Dodge Co, officer Harkins announced ‘these illegals just come here to claim benefits’ I was the only one in the van, a solo journey to move me further from assistance. 7/18 Denied Medical Care – I put in medical request form for half a pill of my anxiety medication…I was under extreme stress and hardly functional. Nothing came.
7/21 – Dodge Co. Doctor, (Pilipino) checked my rash, at first he said Prednisone, a steroid, then he said maybe it is caused by a virus (he did not speak to me directly, or clearly at all, and was not available for any questions) he basically looked at my shoulders and neck and said Chicken Pox, Shingles? He said he would give me Acyclovir, – I asked to know the side effects before I take it – Nurse said she would copy the Contraindications for me at Med-Pass. I did tell the doctor that this started after one week in McHenry, starting in my throat, ears, skin of neck and down across my chest, I thought it was something I ingested at McHenry; I also had diarrhoea at McHenry from when I arrived – Doctor appeared to ask Nurse’s opinion of the rash. I requested oral antibiotics for the pus-filled bumps. The Doctor named Ramana, at first said he thought it was herpes, (on my neck? After no physical contact with anyone?)
7/23 – 400 MG Acyclovir twice daily; Araceli Llamasolis is denied commissary each week even thought she has 20 USD in her account. She was deported later that week. 7/26 – I put in a written request they address moving C. Johnson ASAP to her federal prison assignment, as she is a danger to others! She has been trying to bully and harass me constantly and I have irregular heartbeat and a seizure disorder so this could be life threatening stress. Officer Covington suggested I lock myself in my cell. Covington then came back to me and said that she felt that there would be ‘issues’ with Ms. Johnson, and so she was going to move me to a different pod.
7/26 – was moved to Pod H – communal, no private cell as required for a Federal Detainee – one inmate has a serious skin infection, we are all in same room/shower all day, we are not given exercise time at all. 7/30 – Moved Back to Pod A – Guards say they have no records of threatening behaviour towards me by C. Johnson. They suggest I stay locked in my room. I am still covered in septic looking lumps, filled with pus – Acyclovir not working. 8/2 – Law Library Granted! 8/8 Library Granted – I put in a written request EVERY DAY as I did at McHenry. 8/7 – last day of medication – 8/8 Original Nurse asked about the rash, I told her again I NEED ANTIBIOTICS!!
8/10- Officer stated that I had filed a grievance about medical treatment – I said no; I had been requesting treatment – they said they had no record of it – So I agreed to write out ANOTHER MEDICAL REQUEST – done, submitted. 8/ – was given phone number for my sister, in Australia who has been calling the jail supervisor. The number he gave me will not go through from the inmate phone. I explained to the officers that it would not go through, they said ‘the number on the wall for international is wrong’ – I gave the number to Geoff Heeren LAWYER 8/11 Granted law library.
8/15 – Officer Bublitz said that I had a minor rule violation for exercising in the dayroom; I was put in 24 hour lockdown. I addressed this with a grievance against this officer, whom I believe retaliated against me because he had to deal with C. Johnson, when she was aggressive toward me, and he is also afraid of her. They are both6ft plus and a good 250…hers is more muscle though; I will say that for her. I put in a med slip regarding my exercise needs because I have Heart murmur, stress,Vaso vagal syncope, I must stay as fit as possible with this blood pressure disorder; I AGAIN REQUESTED A COPY of the ICE DETAINEE standards, rules and regulations. I was then told that Dancing is disruptive and jumping jacks are dangerous. This from a bunch of fat prison guards! 8/15 – Inmate Cynthia Johnson announced to the room ‘you know I don’t like you cos you do witchcraft’
8/15 Officer Zaingl said she was surprised I obeyed the lockdown, cos it was ‘a bullshit ticket’ 8/18 After law library I was told by Officer Streekstra (tall fat black hair) that I cannot print my research if there is no money in my account (officer Pieper was witness to this seated at the desk) I told her that ICE Detainees do not pay for their printing needs for legal stuff they are entitled to. She continued to tell me I couldn’t print and tried to get me to sign to pay for my printing. Officer Streekstra also took the crutches away from One Legged Detainee Rosario Lemke. 8/18 – Verbal warning regarding saving document in the law library.
8/18 – Verbal warning regarding touching. 8/19 – Jail Supervisor Rick called me over the intercom, he said my sister Yvonne had called the jail; He said he had told her I was ok. 8/19 – Dr. Ramana gave me doxycycline, and after some hard discussion with this useless fucker, he said I could have prenatal vitamins as my seizure disorder requires that I maintain good levels of iron calcium and other vitamins to avoid having a seizure. The nurse present was Roxanne. 8/19 – Officer Thieme gave me a copy of ht Decision to Continue Detention. 8/19 – At Med Pass, thru the door, the Doctor issued Doxycylcine, 100mg x 2, plus benadryl; (I told him this rash does not itch!) I declined the Benadryl; Nurse said he had not prescribed the vitamins she would look into it. 8/20 The nurse asked if I remembered what the Doctor had said – she gave me the vitamins, but didn’t believe me.
8/22 I made medical request to add Acyclovir back to my meds to continue possible treatment of this rash/disfigurement of my skin that won’t go away. 8/22 – 10.30am I was brought to the Library to meet with Immigration Investigator Charles Scoles – Officer Harkins was present. This was regarding my complaint about my treatment that I had filed with Eileen Dunne at the British Embassy. He had a copy of it in front of him. I requested that my attorney be present before I answer any questions. I asked what the questions were, he said he didn’t have to tell me or talk to me. I asked if Eileen had copied that request to my attorney, Chuck Scoles would not answer. I was escorted back to dayroom cell; I called Geoff Heeren to leave him a message regarding this attempted meeting.
8/22 Nurse Roxanne at Medpass said doctor will see me in two weeks, she said the rash is from ‘stress’ I was requesting Blood tests; she said they will not do blood tests. DISEASE – in McHenry on 15th May, by 22nd broke out in rash all over my neck, chest, shoulders back throat, no treatment in McHenry – when moved to Dodge, 15 days Acyclovir, – no tests – now 15 days Doxycycline, Nurse Roxanne said they will NOT do any tests – there are new Pus filled lumps on my body every day. WI Administrative Code Doc 350-21 Communicable Disease Control – states lab screening should be provided! 8/22 I left a message for GHeeren, I need statements from the Ambulance Crew from May 9, 2008 who took me to Cook County Hospital.
8/23 – 6.10pm – Officer Vukovich and Officer Rhode said he could not put the television in the dayroom on, that I should be ‘bonding with these women’ These people are child molesters, heroin dealers and serious repeat offender alcoholics.
8/24 11.45am I have been unable to call Australia my sister from the Jail phone – Officer Supervisor Mark Schwarz called me out to the desk, he was very nasty, he said he was giving me instructions for the phone to make an International Call; what he actually said was that ‘I already knew how to call Australia’ (so I still didn’t get ‘how to call my sister’ from this phone, cos I still don’t have the correct way to do it, and so still cant call her) He then read from one of my calls, from a monitor on the desk, saying that I had been using the law library to write letters to friends, and that I had told a caller that the officers don’t read more than the first page of my legal letters’ I told him these letters even if addressed to friends were to be forwarded to attorneys in an attempt to obtain new legal counsel, consequently they are still privileged legal communications, and I thanked him for admitting that they had violated my privacy in front of witness Officer Pieper (again.)
8/24 – RETALIATION _ I was refused law library by Officer Knoll. 8/24 later given law library by same officer, (game playing to hurt my mental state) then he insisted on charging me for copies.) I told him again, that ICE does not pay for printing. 8/25 – During law library Officer Zaingl came in to library and told me that I had to get out of there so that someone could take a phone call, she wanted me to leave my legal notes. I said no thanks, and picked them all up. She was insistent and said no problem, you can leave them, this call won’t take a minute, and no one will touch them. I said NO THANKS and took them back to the dayroom with me. Apparently while I had been in the library, Zaingl had searched my room for something, and then tried to get me to leave my notes so that they could do something with them? Apparently, according to other inmates, C Johnson the lunatic heroin dealer has been telling the Officers that I am hiding something. So an ordinary person who was arrested in error is being harassed by Jail personnel at the behest of a convicted heroin dealer. A friend sent me stamps, the jail took them. So I sent a letter to a friend to mail on to my sister, so eventually my sister in Australia will have my contact info. (I now know that my mail from when I arrived at Dodge was not received by the recipients; in jail you cannot keep copies.)
Law Library at Dodge Does not have Lexus nexus 3 & 4 loaded, you cannot do the full legal research that you are allowed to do as an Immigration Administrative Detainee. 8/26 – taken to Fox Valley to be fingerprinted for my U Visa Application. I was in squad car cuffed with male offender also cuffed but able to reach me, touch me. ON the return van journey, I was in with 4 males, cuffed but able to reach me, criminal offenders; one was a double homicide, served 11 years, Juan Vasquez. 8/26 was shut off Law Library Computer; Officer Donegan read my letter to my attorney. I told him it was confidential and privileged legal mail.
9/2/08 woken in the night, made to sign documents stating that all of my possessions have been returned to me, yet the stamps and paper sent to me by RT are missing, I am handled roughly I am pushed into the van. Taken to Broadview, filmed all day, I am the only detainee filmed. Officer says this is to show that ‘I am being well treated’. I am kept awake from 2am on 9/2 through 9/4 midnight. I was not told I was being deported. Another inmate was able to call her daughter (phones don’t work for my Alien number, this is deliberate) and she contacted my friend who brought me cash. During attempted Deport, I am placed in a van to take me across the tarmac to the airplane, the Luggage mover from United crashed into the ICE vehicle on the tarmac, gave me whiplash; I was taken to hospital, Resurrection Medial Center, under the name Josmen Howath. My purse with the money is taken by Valencia Amaro, I am then taken to a jail cell with no blanket to spend the night in pain. I am woken at 6am to be taken back to Broadview, then at 3pm I am taken to be put in the van again, I ask to count the money in my purse and get a receipt, I get a receipt that says ‘Unknown amount’ when I assert myself saying I want to count it in front of two officers and get a real receipt, I am physically threatened ‘move’ (if I had not moved towards the van they would have pushed me on to the floor – there was no camera this time!! I am again in the van for a 2.5 hr ride to Dodge County where I arrive at 6pm approx. I am in the same side of the van with male offenders, one has time for double murder. This is extremely stressful, I am afraid for my life.
From talking to Inmates it appears that Green card Holders have been receiving larger sentences, for things like DUI, in order that they can be deported for having a sentence of one year or more… On arrival at Dodge, I am taken to change clothing, back into prison garb, female officer makes a point to inspect me naked, to demean me. I have never been out of custody, sight or not filmed for the last 30 plus hours. 9/10 Repeat of Deportation, kept awake from 2am the night before, in transport to Broadview, I was not told until I demanded to know that I was being deported that evening…My watch was missing from my purse when I got the purse back. In the evening 3 officers inc. Valencia Amaro drove me to Chicago Ohare, sat around me on the plane, when we arrived at passport control in UK, they were surprised that there was no one from the authorities there to meet me, I explained to them that I was Not a Criminal of any kind…
My thanks to every idiot named above, who felt the need to ‘serve their country’, and to Bob@bob.com who sent me the lovely email below, which turned out to be helpful actually.

The John Lennon Connection. :(
This past year has been unbelievable, I wouldn’t believe al this stuff if I hadnt seen it myself, and consequently I dont think I can see clearly for myself, so for a a titch of hope/guidance, I went to Psychic in Liverpool for a reading…(read the posts, I had nothing to lose…)
I thought he was crap. He couldnt understand my situation, (who can, plus – I give no info out when getting read, to assess the skill of the reader) but he said all he could get was ‘John Lennon’, he said he kept getting ‘let it be’ – as in ‘keep quiet’ – that I must keep quiet now….and to trust my instincts and I should be alright… he said all he could get was John Lennon.
Well, I was unimpressed, I thought this was crap. I was hoping for a bit of direction.
I knew very little about John Lennon, except he was shot on the streets of New York. Then it dawned on me that he was supposedly shot by a Schizo, who now has dayrelease to go visit anyone he likes etc….and I was in jail with a schizo… coincidence! Oh shit. shit shit.
Then a couple of people told me that John Lennon had opposed some US policies and was shot by the CIA…
I dont recall opposing any US Govt policies, until I spoke out about what they have just done to me, and the many trapped unnecessarily in their Immigration jails…abused, lied to, mistreated, starved…stuff you don’t hear about because most are afraid to speak up.
I spent my whole childhood afraid – so I just CANNOT not speak up when people are being terrorised. Same as if I hear a kid screaming I WILL go investigate, even if his dad is 3 times my size. That is who I am.
So, today I googled John Lennon….oh bugger.
I will always have to trust my instincts. Becuase you cannot trust your Govt, your politicians or your police. So, will they be sending a Manchurian candidate after me, or just continue to try to discredit me as a mental case?
I have had psy visions since I was 17. It was very strange, and disturbing, so I made it ‘lie down flat’ and ‘go away’ for years, to have a normal life. (as much as possible!) Most people don’t even separate it out, and just assume they are lucky or have great instincts. Mine were never good, because I grew up in a volatile house with random violence, so I had to be on alert all the time. But psy ability doesn’t really go away, and so it would push its way into my dreams, if there was something I really needed to know.
While trapped unnecessarily in immigration jail I did have a strong dream about Chicago suffering an extreme explosion though, and I did have an experience worth noting, which I will put at the end. I dont do dead people. I can see right into the heads of the living though! sometimes I can see what they can’t. When I met Julie Myers Wood in Immigration jail, she had dilated pupils. Anyhow, the older you get, the more you learn about the world and start to accept things for what they are, and to some degree, what you are, so I kept a dream blog, which included many dreams about political events, missiles, warships, U-name it. Stuff that I didnt pay any attention to in my daytime life; I wasnt very interested in world politics nor politically active in any way, other than documenting my wierd dreams. But I did get ‘C14′ in my dreams, which turned out to be a highway in Africa, which may be used to transport nuclear materials, but I dont know, If I haven’t seen it with my own two eyes in daylight, so therefore, I dont believe. Lets keep SMIS busy; all this stuff is on my dream blog..not hard to find….
A small psy experience in jail – there were many who did not speak any english. I had a dream where everyone was greyed out, including my useless spouse, except for one woman, I could see her eyes clearly, and she could see mine.
The next day, I asked a kid that was completely bilingual to ask that lady to come over, so I could tell her something. I asked th kid to translate word for word, which she said she would.
So I said ‘I saw you in a dream last night, I know you can see me too, I know you are psychic too”
The kid looked at me – I said, just word for word, OK?
so she translated it…the other woman looked at me, then she started gabbing, -it was translated to me,
‘Yes, I saw you too, I had the same dream, but I dont want anyone to know becuase you know they are all so religious in here, and superstitious, and if they know they will think I can tell them whether they get to go home’ – she also said that there is so much pain in the room that it makes her stomach hurt and she cant eat…so she doesnt want anyone asking her to tell them what will happen to them.
so I had the kid translate, I explained to her that I wouldnt tell anyone, I just wanted her to know that I could ‘see’ her, and I knew. She was ok with it. The kids eyes nearly fell out of her head!! She was about 17 and had never witnesses two psys communicating before, even though we needed a translator!! was quite funny.
So, what they think they know about me, I know. If they want me to fill in the gaps, they should have asked me nicely instead of putting me through this. . Like they should hire Gary McKinnon, not torture him.
