Bahamian national illegally present in U.S. for 15 years finally removed to face murder charges in homeland

A citizen of the Bahamas who was illegally present in the United States for 15 years has been deported to face murder charges in his homeland. 

On Monday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the removal of Stanford Jahmaal Omar Bastian to the Caribbean island nation after he served time for trafficking narcotics in the U.S.

Bastian was admitted to the U.S. on a 6-month temporary visa in 2009 but remained in the country beyond that date without authorization. 

On March 9, 2021, he was convicted in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida for intent to distribute five or more kilograms of cocaine and sentenced to 50 months in prison. 

On July 5, 2022, ICE lodged an immigration detainer against Bastian after Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) agents from the Atlanta office encountered him at Federal Correctional Facility McRae in Helena, Georgia. 

“In August, he was served with a final administrative removal order charging removability pursuant to Section 237 of the Immigration and Nationality Act,” ICE explained in a press release. 

“ERO Philadelphia detained Bastian at the Moshannon Valley Processing Center in Phillipsburg during removal proceedings.”

In January of this year, officials learned Bastian was wanted for murder by authorities in the Bahamas. 

It is unclear how long he had been a fugitive from those charges or when the alleged murder took place. 

Bastian was removed from the U.S. on March 26. 

Authorities continue to catch dangerous foreign criminals illegally present in the U.S.

Video of an officer involved shooting was released, potentially risking a ‘George Floyd event’ this election year.

A police body cam video from March was released Wednesday that shows a traffic stop turn fatal when Chicago police, not in uniform, return fire with nearly 100 rounds after a suspect began shooting at them, sparking fears of another ‘summer of rage’.

26 year old Dexter Reed was driving on March 21 when police conducted a traffic stop while in plainclothes for a seatbelt violation.

Video shows Reed refusing to exit the vehicle and begin rolling his window up, after which the driver opened fire on officers, followed by return fire that killed the black man.

In a similar fashion to what happened during the 2020 election cycle, chaos broke out in front of a Chicago police station. Many believe Dexter Reed is 2024’s George Floyd.

A press conference with the suspect’s mother and photos of the suspect at a younger age are now being shared to garner sympathy and possibly incite unrest as mourning turns to revenge.

Shootings are quite common in Chicago, on Wednesday a ride share passenger was shot and killed.

EU DisinfoLab proposes using ICANN’s security system against “disinformation,” raising questions about internet governance and the boundaries of free speech.

EU DisinfoLab, a non-profit officially operating independently but regularly making policy recommendations to the EU and member-states, is now pushing for a security structure created by ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) to be utilized in the “war on disinformation.”

EU DisinfoLab, which receives grants from George Soros’ controversial Open Society Foundations, is now testing the water regarding “repurposing” of an ICANN security operation set up to combat malware, spam, phishing, etc., and turn it into a tool against “disinformation sites.”

Attempting to directly enlist ICANN would be highly controversial, to put it mildly, at least at this stage. Given its importance in the internet infrastructure – ICANN manages domain names globally – and the fact content control is not among its tasks (DisinfoLab says ICANN “refuses” to do it) – this would represent a huge departure from the organization’s role as we understand it today.

But now DisinfoLab proposes to use “the structure already created by ICANN” against legitimate security threats, to police the internet for content that somebody decides to treat as “disinformation.” It would require “minimal amount of diligence and cooperation” from registries, a blog post said, to accept ICANN-style reports and revoke a site’s domain name.

The justification for all this is that alleged “disinformation doppelganger” sites use domain names that are deceptively similar to “trusted news sites.”

And, according to the group, who better to wipe out whatever domain name is deemed to belong to a “disinformation site” than a DNS registrar – and ICANN is the top authority for them all.

During the pandemic, ICANN’s Domain Name System Threat Information Collection and Reporting (DNSTICR) was used to identify domain names that contained terms related to Covid, but the goal was to find out if the sites abused the keyword(s) to mask phishing or malware proliferating operations, rather than to “moderate” any type of Covid-related content.

Now DisinfoLab wants to use a system based on DNSTICR to allow for reporting of “genuinely open-and-shut (disinformation) cases” to registrars for removal.

But, what authority would decide what’s a “genuinely open-and-shut case”?

DisinfoLab’s idea: registries or registrars could “grant media trade associations ‘trusted notifier’ status.”

No word on what methodology these “trusted notifiers” would use to perform their “arbiter of truth” role.
