Beverly Hills Film Studios Seeks Return of the “Medal of Honor” TV Series Seized by the DHS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 11, 2009 -- September 11, 2009 – Beverly Hills Film Studios and its President, Producer/Director BJ Davis are going public with their efforts to secure the return of the TV Series “Medal of Honor” and other film properties, unlawfully seized by the Department of Homeland Security during its warrantless searches of the company’s offices and the Davis residence. This is the latest development in a series of events that are truly stranger than fiction and could only be described as a bizarre mix of “Burn After Reading” and “Enemy of the State”.

One of the precipitating events for this Kafka-esque saga was a whistleblowing disclosure pertaining to the suspected breach of national security at the San Ysidro Port of Entry on 4th of July, 2004. This report was made to the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) by Julia Davis, former officer of the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP). When the news broke and the Los Angeles Times reporter asked former CBP Commissioner Robert Bonner about Julia Davis’ report to the FBI, agency officials assumed that she was responsible for the leak to the press. To the contrary, Julia declined to be interviewed by the Lou Dobbs show and other news reporters that approached her, not wishing to embarrass her agency. However, since she previously filed a report of discrimination against the DHS, the agency saw her as a direct cause of the impending public scrutiny. This assumption led to the unprecedented acts of retaliation against Julia Davis and her family.

While the Department of Homeland Security bemoaned of its lack of helicopters to rescue Katrina victims, a Blackhawk helicopter was dispatched to conduct “flyovers” and aerial surveillance of the Davis residence, located in the Palm Springs area, hours away from San Diego. It’s truly astonishing that the Agency invested with safeguarding our country’s national security wasn’t sophisticated enough to use Google Earth or a similar Internet program that offers maps and satellite images for complex or pinpointed regional searches.

At the same time, Deal and Kaufer were urging prosecutors across four (4) different jurisdictions to charge the couple with various felonies. Instead of fighting the War on Terror, DHS spent government funds on its tireless attempts to discredit a whistleblower. When Kaufer and Deal finally convinced US Attorney Steven Cazares to indict Julia and BJ Davis for immigration violations that allegedly took place over ten (10) years ago, no expense was spared on the agency’s overblown show of force.

On August 10, 2005, Kaufer and Deal led the Department of Homeland Security’s raid of the Davis residence with a Blackhawk attack helicopter and 27 armed ICE agents. Special Response Team stormed the house commando-style, assaulted and severely mistreated Julia’s elderly parents who were the only people present at the house. The raid was videotaped by the one of the neighbors, many of whom later wrote statements about what they witnessed. One of these declarations stated that the agents were observed exiting the helicopter, kneeling down and pointing assault weapons toward the house and then running up the stairs to enter the residence.

The neighbor wrote, “I could not believe what I was seeing. I thought I was seeing a scene from a Rambo movie”. Another neighbor observed, “This seemed crazy…neighbor at Rock Ranch was a very nice person and this whole affair seemed so far out of character”. ICE Agents were described acting like “Gestapo agents” and being offensive. They attacked and threw down Julia’s elderly father with a heart condition, then sat him in full sun (114 degrees) for an hour, wearing only his underwear, denying him access to water and medication.

When he asked Deal what was the reason for the raid, Deal told him that the raid was being conducted because “Julia Davis is a domestic terrorist”. The neighbors were appalled at the way Julia’s father was mistreated and described him as “a kind, honest and civil-minded man…he represents no threat to anyone…The display and degree of force used against him was, in my opinion, appalling and excessive… I believe that Homeland Security has clearly usurped its authority in this case”.

At the end, Department of Homeland Security’s expensive war games against the Davises came to absolutely nothing. Both prosecutions they managed to initiate against the couple were dismissed, to include a finding of factual innocence, an order to seal and destroy arrest files court case files and an order to return all property unlawfully taken during two (2) warrantless searches. As of the date of this investigative report, the government is still in contempt of the court order and defies the law in keeping all of the items taken in two warrantless searches.

Producer/Director BJ Davis declared his intent to take this matter public and to seek Department of Homeland Security’s compliance with standing court orders for return of his and his company’s materials, literary and visual works, even if it means filing another lawsuit to ensure that justice finally prevails.

Big government keeps growing, while our civil rights continue to be diminished. One of our founding fathers Benjamin Franklin wrote, “He who would sacrifice freedom for security, deserves neither”.

Julia’s upcoming book, “Until It Happens To You”, will tell the tale of this gross government misconduct and national cover-up, financed with taxpayers dollars, to deceive the American public while putting the entire country in harm’s way. Julia Davis is a true American hero and a staunch patriot. When asked if she would do the same today, knowing what happened as the consequence of her whistleblowing disclosure, Julia said “Yes”.
