American Justice?

If you're an immigrant here working long hours for low pay to try to make a life for your family, you're rounded up by ICE and carted off to jail, possibly to die there.

If you're an immigrant here hiding from prosection for murders [having been paid for by the CIA], you get to stay free and contribute to the mortgage crisis.


CIA-Backed Haitian Death Squad Leader Gets 37-Year Prison Term for Mortgage Fraud

A former US-backed Haitian death squad leader has been sentenced to thirty-seven years in prison for mortgage fraud. Emmanuel “Toto” Constant was found to have orchestrated a scheme to flip New York properties at inflated prices by selling them to so-called straw buyers. Human rights groups say Constant ordered killings and torture in Haiti before fleeing to the United States. He has evaded deportation after threatening to go public with the extent of his ties to the CIA. Constant’s attorneys say they plan to appeal. In sentencing Constant, Judge Abraham Gerges noted what he called a “truly heinous record of violence, murder, torture and intimidation.”
