Immigrant group to picket watchdogs
By Keyonna Summers
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
February 25, 2006
A taxpayer-funded immigrant advocacy group says it will picket and keep
a close watch on the homes and businesses of members of a local
illegal-entry watchdog group that monitors day-laborer sites in Maryland.
"People should not expect in a modern society to engage in a campaign of
intimidation without having a response," says Kim Propeack, a
spokeswoman for CASA of Maryland, which runs taxpayer-funded day-laborer
centers in Takoma Park, Silver Spring and Wheaton.
"So if [the Maryland Minuteman Civil Defense Corps] want to come to CASA
de Maryland, it's perfectly legitimate of us to go to the Minutemen's
homes and also protest."
Miss Propeack's comments follow those of CASA Executive Director Gustavo
Torres, who was quoted in a published report this week as saying his
group will target the Minutemen in a "specific way," in addition to
videotaping them as they monitor day laborers.
"We are going to picket their houses, and the schools of their kids, and
go to their work," Mr. Torres told the Gazette community newspapers. "If
they are going to do this to us, we are going to respond in the same
way, to let people know their neighbors are extremists, that they are
anti-immigrant. They are going to hear from us."
CASA of Maryland, the state's largest immigrant advocacy group, receives
about 51 percent of its $3.6 million annual budget from public sources,
such as county governments.
Stephen Schreiman, president of the Maryland Minuteman Civil Defense
Corps, yesterday said Mr. Torres' comments about picketing the schools
of their children are "over the top."

But the funny part of this is that CASA isn't just an "immigrant"
advocate group.
CASA has a long history of knowingly and willfully aiding and abetting
illegal aliens to find work, a clear violation of Federal law.
The so-called "Maryland Minuteman Civil Defense Corps" -- a
neighborhood-watch law-enforcement advocacy group that wants to help
overworked officials of the Federal Bureau of Immigration and Customs
Enforcement identify systematic and pattern violators of Federal
immigration law towards targetted prosecution of racketeer influenced
and corrupt organizations ("RICO") -- is loosely associated with "the
Minuteman Project", which last year brought national media attention to
their campaign of staking out a highly-trafficked section of the
US-Mexico border. When they spotted illegal aliens crossing -- or
preparing to cross -- the border, they informed the Border Patrol who
would then either obstruct the crossings or arrest illegal crossers.
The Maryland Minuteman Civil Defense Corps have stated that their
intention is to videotape employers that patronize CASA's "day laborer
centers", two of which it operates with partial funding from the
government of Montgomery County, Maryland. It is widely understood by
all parties that a significant percentage of day-laborers who get jobs
at CASA's facilities are illegal aliens. Yet it should also be
understood that perhaps the majority are Central Americans who are
legally in the USA as "temporary protected refugees".

Minutemen, Casa of Maryland set stage for showdown in Takoma Park

"From a national standpoint, we want to close the border down and stop
the flow of illegals," Schreiman said. "We want to do the same thing
here, but our approach will be a little different. What we want to do is
to basically discourage contractors and businesses from hiring illegals.
It’s against federal law.
"We’re going to go after these [contractors] at the state and local
level because these people aren’t paying taxes," including payroll taxes
and worker’s compensation, because the day laborers are presumed to be
in the United States illegally, Schreiman said. "We’re going to take
these people and through a vetting process determine which ones are not
paying their taxes and doing business in an inappropriate manner and
then turn them over to the appropriate authorities for prosecution. That
should put a damper on the hiring of illegals."
Although another Minutemen chapter in Herndon, Va., publicly targeted a
city-funded day laborer center there in December, Schreiman said his
chapter would take a more low-key approach, discreetly photographing
contractors and their vehicles at the workers’ centers. In the future,
he said the group would be more visible, inviting journalists to
accompany the Maryland Minutemen as they work in Montgomery County.
And, he said, efforts to document contractors who hire day laborers will
expand to other places where the men congregate, including parking lots
at convenience stores and gas stations.
"We’re going to target those, too," he said. "When we go down to target
Casa in Silver Spring, we will also be filming the Exxon and the
7-Eleven there [at University Boulevard East and Piney Branch Road]. And
eventually we will end up going down to the [Takoma?Langley] Crossroads,
which is even a richer target."

Mr Torres is, as astute observers will recall, a master of obfuscation
and misdirection.
It must be understood that an individual may have "documentation", such
as a Maryland Driver's Permit, yet still be in the country illegally.
Indeed, in recent years, CASA has helped organize demonstrations which
mobbed the State House in Annapolis when there were hearings over
proposed changes in law which would require that Maryland's Motor
Vehicle Administration ("MVA") determine whether or not applicants were
in the country legally. In 2005, the Federal government passed the "Real
ID Act of 2005" which compels the several States to make such a
determination, and to not issue driver's licenses to illegal aliens,
with full compliance with the Act being effective no later than 2008. In
preparation for full compliance, the MVA began inquiring into the
immigration or citizenship status of applicants earlier this year. CASA
launched a lawsuit aimed at preventing the MVA from making such
inquiries. The suit is widely regarded as being without merit, as
Federal requirements in such matters unquestionably take precedence over
State laws, a matter which was resolved in the first Civil War.
Mr Torres, however, is not the least bit obfuscationist in his open
declaration of criminal intent to stalk, and to conspire to stalk, in
violation of Maryland Law:
<quote COMAR>
Title 3
§ 3-801. "Course of conduct" defined.
In this subtitle, "course of conduct" means a persistent pattern of
conduct, composed of a series of acts over time, that shows a continuity
of purpose.
§ 3-802. Stalking.
(a) "Stalking" defined.- In this section, "stalking" means a malicious
course of conduct that includes approaching or pursuing another where
the person intends to place or knows or reasonably should have known the
conduct would place another in reasonable fear:
(1) (i) of serious bodily injury;
(ii) of an assault in any degree;
(iii) of rape or sexual offense as defined by §§ 3-303 through 3-308
of this article or attempted rape or sexual offense in any degree;
(iv) of false imprisonment; or
(v) of death; or
(2) that a third person likely will suffer any of the acts listed in
item (1) of this subsection.
(b) Prohibited.- The provisions of this section do not apply to conduct
that is:
(1) performed to ensure compliance with a court order;
(2) performed to carry out a specific lawful commercial purpose; or
(3) authorized, required, or protected by local, State, or federal law.
(c) Applicability.- A person may not engage in stalking.
(d) Penalty.- A person who violates this section is guilty of a
misdemeanor and on conviction is subject to imprisonment not exceeding 5
years or a fine not exceeding $5,000 or both.
(e) Sentence.- A sentence imposed under this section may be separate
from and consecutive to or concurrent with a sentence for any other
crime based on the acts establishing a violation of this section.
§ 3-803. Harassment.
(a) Prohibited.- A person may not follow another in or about a public
place or maliciously engage in a course of conduct that alarms or
seriously annoys the other:

(2) after receiving a reasonable warning or request to stop by or on
behalf of the other; and
(3) without a legal purpose.
(b) Exception.- This section does not apply to a peaceable activity
intended to express a political view or provide information to others.
(c) Penalty.- A person who violates this section is guilty of a
misdemeanor and on conviction is subject to imprisonment not exceeding
90 days or a fine not exceeding $500 or both.
</quote>
Note, under § 3-801 (b)(3) the activities of the Maryland Minuteman
Civil Defense Corps are protected as they are solely pursuant of the
goal of enforcing Federal law. Under § 3-803 (b)(3) the "Maryland
Minutemen" are exempted as their purpose is entirely legal.
Note, Mr Torres is on record in a variety of print media as declaring
specific intent to harass, alarm, and annoy not merely the members of
the "Maryland Minutemen", but also their families including children,
and their employers and their childrens' educators. Mr Torres is, in
fact, verging on inciting a riot.
More from COMAR in Title 2:
<quote COMAR>
§ 2-202. Warrantless arrests - In general.
(a) Crimes committed in presence of police officer.- A police officer
may arrest without a warrant a person who commits or attempts to commit
a felony or misdemeanor in the presence or within the view of the police
officer.
(b) Probable cause to believe crime committed in presence of officer.-
A police officer who has probable cause to believe that a felony or
misdemeanor is being committed in the presence or within the view of the
police officer may arrest without a warrant any person whom the police
officer reasonably believes to have committed the crime.
(c) Probable cause to believe felony committed.- A police officer
without a warrant may arrest a person if the police officer has probable
cause to believe that a felony has been committed or attempted and the
person has committed or attempted to commit the felony whether or not in
the presence or within the view of the police officer.
§ 2-205. Same - For stalking.
A police officer without a warrant may arrest a person if:
(1) the police officer has probable cause to believe the person has
engaged in stalking under § 3-802 of the Criminal Law Article;
(2) there is credible evidence other than the statements of the alleged
stalking victim to support the probable cause under item (1) of this
section; and
(3) the police officer has reason to believe that the alleged stalking
victim or another person is in danger of imminent bodily harm or death.

But a criminal remedy is not the only remedy that exists for the
"Maryland Minutemen":
From Title 3 Subtitle 15:
<quote in-part>
§ 3-1503. Petition seeking relief.
(a) Underlying acts.- A petitioner may seek relief under this subtitle
by filing with the court, or with a commissioner under the circumstances
specified in § 3-1503.1(a) of this subtitle, a petition that alleges the
commission of any of the following acts against the petitioner by the
respondent, if the act occurred within 30 days before the filing of the
petition:
(1) An act that causes serious bodily harm;
(2) An act that places the petitioner in fear of imminent serious
bodily harm;
(3) Assault in any degree;
(4) Rape or sexual offense under §§ 3-303 through 3-308 of the Criminal
Law Article or attempted rape or sexual offense in any degree;
(5) False imprisonment;
(6) Harassment under § 3-803 of the Criminal Law Article;
(7) Stalking under § 3-802 of the Criminal Law Article;
(8) Trespass under Title 6, Subtitle 4 of the Criminal Law Article; or
(9) Malicious destruction of property under § 6-301 of the Criminal Law
Article.
(b) Contents.-

(i) Be under oath and provide notice to the petitioner that an
individual who knowingly provides false information in the petition is

specified in subsection (d) of this section;
(ii) Subject to the provisions of subsection (c) of this section,
contain the address of the petitioner; and
(iii) Include all information known to the petitioner of:
1. The nature and extent of the act specified in subsection (a) of
this section for which the relief is being sought, including information
known to the petitioner concerning previous harm or injury resulting
from an act specified in subsection (a) of this section by the respondent;
2. Each previous and pending action between the parties in any court;
and
3. The whereabouts of the respondent.
(c) Address may be stricken.- If, in a proceeding under this subtitle,
a petitioner alleges, and the commissioner or judge finds, that the
disclosure of the address of the petitioner would risk further harm to
the petitioner, that address may be stricken from the petition and
omitted from all other documents filed with the commissioner or filed
with, or transferred to, a court.
(d) Providing false information.- An individual who knowingly provides
false information in a petition filed under this section is guilty of a
misdemeanor and on conviction is subject to a fine not exceeding $1,000
or imprisonment not exceeding 90 days or both.

We are of the opinion that the "Maryland Minutemen" need only be
harassed or stalked and they have a clear criminal action against that
individual (or individuals) actually doing the stalking, and injunctive
remedy should be pursued against Mr Torres under § 3-1503. As much
supporting evidence as possible should be read into the Court's records
as can be gathered in advance of the actual Gang Stalking at Mr Torres's
behest, and in the course of clearly and unambiguously satisfying the
evidentiary needs for an injunction to be issued, that information
should also contain significant evidence in support of the contention
that CASA of Maryland is indeed a Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt
Organization wilfully and determinedly engaged in a pattern of organized
violations of Federal immigration laws.

I rather expect that she's had her place staked out, for a long long
time, with "staff" on alert to stake out anyone staking out. "Welcome to
Washington". Keep in mind that the stuff you see in California is pretty
blatant. Things here are a little more discreet in some ways. That being
said, in a part of town that's a popular nightspot, for anywhere from
$40 to $200 you can pull up on the street and get perfect counterfeits
of Social Security cards, "green cards", fake birth-certificates from
countries notorious for either rubberstamping all verification requests
or taking a year or more to respond to such requests. I don't suppose I
need to point out that this corner is about five blocks from the Mexican
Embassy and maybe 12 blocks from the Salvadoran embassy. Every now and
then the cops crack down and take in some ridiculous haul of a couple
thousand "blanks" but they're back on the street within a few days. Of
course it's not just "hispanics" that get their fake credentials there.
"So if [the Maryland Minuteman Civil Defense Corps] want to come to CASA
de Maryland, it's perfectly legitimate of us to go to the Minutemen's

Oh, it's not just them. The State in question, in general, and the
counties in question in particular, are so lefty-liberal Democrat that
the racists don't even have to lie to them; the Democrats already
believe the sun rises in the west and shines at night. You could have a
battalion of Al Qaeda marching down the street chanting "we are going to
blow you all up" and the local Democrats would look out the window and
see them and assume it was ethnic pride day and maybe only involve
themselves to the degree to ask where to send their tax-deductible
charitable contribution.
I suppose MS-13 will have to chop off a few more hands with machetes
before any of the locals will start taking seriously that perhaps it
might be sensible to consider maybe doing something about foreign
militants declaring war in the suburbs of the Nation's Capital.
Across the river in Virginia, supposedly there's been a major increase
in applications for the shall-issue concealed-carry permits.
Maryland, by contrast, is at long last considering changing the law to
remove "duty to retreat and flee to safety" as a legal requirement for
homeowners in case of obvious Home Invasion.

picket their jobsites. How about picketing the homes of the illegals

We are of the opinion that the "Maryland Minutemen" need only be
harassed or stalked and they have a clear criminal action against that
individual (or individuals) actually doing the stalking, and injunctive
remedy should be pursued against Mr Torres under § 3-1503. As much
supporting evidence as possible should be read into the Court's records
as can be gathered in advance of the actual Gang Stalking at Mr Torres's
behest, and in the course of clearly and unambiguously satisfying the
evidentiary needs for an injunction to be issued, that information
should also contain significant evidence in support of the contention
that CASA of Maryland is indeed a Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt
Organization wilfully and determinedly engaged in a pattern of organized
violations of Federal immigration laws.

Immigrant group to picket watchdogs
By Keyonna Summers
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
February 25, 2006
A taxpayer-funded immigrant advocacy group says it will picket and keep
a close watch on the homes and businesses of members of a local
illegal-entry watchdog group that monitors day-laborer sites in Maryland.
"People should not expect in a modern society to engage in a campaign of
intimidation without having a response," says Kim Propeack, a
spokeswoman for CASA of Maryland, which runs taxpayer-funded day-laborer
centers in Takoma Park, Silver Spring and Wheaton.
"So if [the Maryland Minuteman Civil Defense Corps] want to come to CASA
de Maryland, it's perfectly legitimate of us to go to the Minutemen's
homes and also protest."
And if the Minute men protested at the homes (not offices) of the CASA
assholes, it would be racist intimidation.
Sure, Propeack and Torres are the spinmeisters supremos! That is of
course what they have planned.
Miss Propeack's comments follow those of CASA Executive Director Gustavo
Torres, who was quoted in a published report this week as saying his
group will target the Minutemen in a "specific way," in addition to
videotaping them as they monitor day laborers.
Videotape away in the public area.
"We are going to picket their houses, and the schools of their kids, and
go to their work," Mr. Torres told the Gazette community newspapers. "If
they are going to do this to us, we are going to respond in the same
way, to let people know their neighbors are extremists, that they are
anti-immigrant. They are going to hear from us."
How about the Minutement follow those whp pick up the illegals and
picket their jobsites. How about picketing the homes of the illegals
and the CASA staff.
Personally I would draw the line at Stalking and Harassment, which would
be how one properly classifies the latter.
However, there has been a rash of shoddy home repairs by persons
operating without a State of Maryland Home Improvement Contractor's license.
Montgomery County Executive Doug Duncan -- who is running for Governor
and not doing too well at it -- recently held a televised news
conference along with a State's Attorney, in which he declared "Open
Season" on fly-by-night companies operating in Montgomery County without
the benefit of a Maryland Home Improvement Contractor's license.
As the majority of the employers of illegal aliens and day-laborers
hereabouts are in fact these fly-by-night companies, all the Minutemen
need to do is to follow these contractors to their jobsite, get the
address, and notify the State Attorney's office, the county police, the
county department of code inspectors, and the Maryland Home Improvement
board and file a complaint.
Sadly, all that does it to take an unscrupulous employer out of the game
and get them significant fines and expose them to litigation. It does
nothing to remove the illegal aliens, nor to get CASA broken up.
CASA of Maryland? An ongoing criminal conspiracy to violate Federal law
and to enable others to violate Federal law, aiding and abetting both
illegal aliens and the unscrupulous employers who hire them to illegally
operate fly-by-night companies operating without an MHIC license.
....and they're funded by taxpayer dollars. Funny how Doug Duncan can
stand in front of a camera and declare that he'll leave no stone
unturned in his battle against fly-by-night contractors, but he keeps on
handing out the money to the main source of workers for such
contractors. The same question could be asked of the County Council. Why
are they making the taxpayers fund a continuing criminal enterprise that
should be prosecuted at all levels for RICO violations?

A taxpayer-funded immigrant advocacy group says it will picket and keep a

CASA of Maryland, the state's largest immigrant advocacy group, receives
about 51 percent of its $3.6 million annual budget from public sources,
such as county governments.
Stephen Schreiman, president of the Maryland Minuteman Civil Defense
Corps, yesterday said Mr. Torres' comments about picketing the schools of
their children are "over the top."

But the funny part of this is that CASA isn't just an "immigrant" advocate
group.
CASA has a long history of knowingly and willfully aiding and abetting
illegal aliens to find work, a clear violation of Federal law.
The so-called "Maryland Minuteman Civil Defense Corps" -- a
neighborhood-watch law-enforcement advocacy group that wants to help
overworked officials of the Federal Bureau of Immigration and Customs
Enforcement identify systematic and pattern violators of Federal
immigration law towards targetted prosecution of racketeer influenced and
corrupt organizations ("RICO") -- is loosely associated with "the
Minuteman Project", which last year brought national media attention to
their campaign of staking out a highly-trafficked section of the US-Mexico
border. When they spotted illegal aliens crossing -- or preparing to
cross -- the border, they informed the Border Patrol who would then either
obstruct the crossings or arrest illegal crossers.
The Maryland Minuteman Civil Defense Corps have stated that their
intention is to videotape employers that patronize CASA's "day laborer
centers", two of which it operates with partial funding from the
government of Montgomery County, Maryland. It is widely understood by all
parties that a significant percentage of day-laborers who get jobs at
CASA's facilities are illegal aliens. Yet it should also be understood
that perhaps the majority are Central Americans who are legally in the USA
as "temporary protected refugees".

Day labor battle brewing
Minutemen, Casa of Maryland set stage for showdown in Takoma Park
by Sean Sands
[ ... ]
"From a national standpoint, we want to close the border down and stop the
flow of illegals," Schreiman said. "We want to do the same thing here, but
our approach will be a little different. What we want to do is to
basically discourage contractors and businesses from hiring illegals. It's
against federal law.
"We're going to go after these [contractors] at the state and local level
because these people aren't paying taxes," including payroll taxes and
worker's compensation, because the day laborers are presumed to be in the
United States illegally, Schreiman said. "We're going to take these people
and through a vetting process determine which ones are not paying their
taxes and doing business in an inappropriate manner and then turn them
over to the appropriate authorities for prosecution. That should put a
damper on the hiring of illegals."
Although another Minutemen chapter in Herndon, Va., publicly targeted a
city-funded day laborer center there in December, Schreiman said his
chapter would take a more low-key approach, discreetly photographing
contractors and their vehicles at the workers' centers. In the future, he
said the group would be more visible, inviting journalists to accompany
the Maryland Minutemen as they work in Montgomery County.
And, he said, efforts to document contractors who hire day laborers will
expand to other places where the men congregate, including parking lots at
convenience stores and gas stations.
"We're going to target those, too," he said. "When we go down to target
Casa in Silver Spring, we will also be filming the Exxon and the 7-Eleven
there [at University Boulevard East and Piney Branch Road]. And eventually
we will end up going down to the [Takoma?Langley] Crossroads, which is
even a richer target."

But Gustavo Torres, a director of CASA, isn't at all above organizing a
Gang Stalking directed at harassing legitimate citizens working to promote
enforcement of the laws:

"We are going to target them in a specific way," said Executive Director
Gustavo Torres. Casa representatives will go out with cameras and video
cameras to record the Minutemen, but that will only be the first step, he
said.
"Then we are going to picket their houses, and the schools of their kids,
and go to their work," Torres said. "If they are going to do this to us,
we are going to respond in the same way, to let people know their
neighbors are extremists, that they are anti-immigrant. They are going to
hear from us."
Torres also takes issue with the notion that all of the men who wait for
work at official and unofficial pick-up sites are in the United States
illegally. "I have a big surprise for the Minutemen: We know for a fact
that many of our workers already have documents."
[ ... ]
</quote>
Mr Torres is, as astute observers will recall, a master of obfuscation and
misdirection.
It must be understood that an individual may have "documentation", such as
a Maryland Driver's Permit, yet still be in the country illegally. Indeed,
in recent years, CASA has helped organize demonstrations which mobbed the
State House in Annapolis when there were hearings over proposed changes in
law which would require that Maryland's Motor Vehicle Administration
("MVA") determine whether or not applicants were in the country legally.
In 2005, the Federal government passed the "Real ID Act of 2005" which
compels the several States to make such a determination, and to not issue
driver's licenses to illegal aliens, with full compliance with the Act
being effective no later than 2008. In preparation for full compliance,
the MVA began inquiring into the immigration or citizenship status of
applicants earlier this year. CASA launched a lawsuit aimed at preventing
the MVA from making such inquiries. The suit is widely regarded as being
without merit, as Federal requirements in such matters unquestionably take
precedence over State laws, a matter which was resolved in the first Civil
War.
Mr Torres, however, is not the least bit obfuscationist in his open
declaration of criminal intent to stalk, and to conspire to stalk, in
violation of Maryland Law:
