Former DHS Officer files a multimillion dollar lawsuit against DHS, ICE and CBP.
May 14, 2007 (Press Release) --
SANTA MONICA, Calif. - In a multimillion dollar lawsuit filed against the Department of Homeland Security, former CBP Officer Julia Davis and her husband, Hollywood Producer/Director BJ Davis, uncover how the Patriot Act is being used to discourage acts of true patriots. A complaint filed in the Central Federal District Court of California (Case EDCV07-0481SGL (OPx)) names the United States of America, Department of Homeland Security, Bureau of Customs and Border Protection, Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), ICE Agents Jeffrey Deal and Herbert Kaufer as defendants and seeks general damages of twenty million dollars in addition to punitive and exemplary damages, special damages, petition for writ of mandate and attorneys fees. Allegations include civil rights violations, malicious prosecutions, false imprisonment, warrantless surveillance, warrantless searches, privacy violations and withholding of exculpatory evidence.
Julia Davis is a former Customs and Border Protection Officer who made a whistleblowing disclosure to the FBI/JTTF in an attempt to safeguard the nation's borders. In retaliation for the report that exposed serious lapses in processing of applicants for admission from special interest countries, the Department of Homeland Security engaged in unprecedented retaliation against Julia Davis and her family. San Diego Director of Field Operations Adele Fasano wrote that Julia Davis "should be held accountable for what she did, "referring to Julia's report to the FBI. San Ysidro Port Director William Ward sent a high priority Significant Incident Report to the office of former CBP Commissioner Robert Bonner, alerting DHS officials of an extremely embarrassing disclosure. ICE Agents Jeffrey Deal and Herbert Kaufer led the charge against Davis and later admitted under oath that the Davis case was declared "top priority" and was to be given "immediate attention."
Julia and BJ Davis have been falsely charged with felony crimes and twice imprisoned; the Davis residence has been raided with a Blackhawk helicopter, stormed by twenty-seven ICE Agents armed with assault weapons and ransacked for an hour without a warrant. Prior to the raid, Julia and BJ Davis have been subjected to aerial surveillance with the Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine Unit, followed by as many as eight ICE agents at each given time; their medical and insurance records have been inappropriately disclosed by the Screen Actors Guild and voluminous materials have been seized in a warrantless search of BJ Davis' office. Agents Kaufer and Deal falsely accused Julia Davis of being a "Domestic Terrorist" and a convicted murderer, boasted of abusing Patriot Act provisions in "keeping close tabs" on the family.
