This is a case that is going to get a lot of attention and raises serious questions for the U.S. military leaders who have turned a blind eye to this case. A US Marine JAG officer now found by a 3 Judge Appeals Court in Virginia that he and his wife defrauded the court by lying to a Virginia court about an Afghan child who they lured with her family guardians to the U.S. during the chaotic withdrawal and then took the child from them when they arrived at Ft Pickett using the courts to falsify an adoption and custody, leaving the Afghan couple shocked. They sued and just won their case but the child remains with the Masts at Camp Lejeune NC.

For months I have been investigating how a US Marine adopted a baby girl who was orphaned in Afghanistan, and took her away from her family. This is a story about the battle over a little girl -- and about the fictions we tell ourselves. For @NYTmag nytimes.com/2022/11/10/mag…






I’m pressing the Justice Department to investigate the disproportionate prosecution of asylum seekers from Muslim-majority countries. Prosecutions targeting individuals based on protected characteristics are prohibited, and this troubling trend must be addressed.


NEW: Our op ed today in @truthout, highlighting the experiences of our detained asylum-seeking Afghan community members. Afghans seeking refuge face insurmountable barriers, and when they seek asylum face detention and the inherent abuse of ICE prisons. truthout.org/articles/afgha…
