N.Y. AG Letitia James Holds Press Conference With Gov. Hochul: 'We Are Prepared To Fight Back'

In a contentious post-election press conference on Wednesday, Democrat New York Governor Kathy Hochul and state Attorney General Letitia James continued to portray President-elect Donald Trump as an evil adversary.

A disgruntled Hochul declared that she has established a “Empire State Freedom Initiative” in order to get ready to combat “policy and regulatory threats” from the incoming Trump administration.

Even though the governor claimed that she is now prepared to work with the new President-elect, Hochul still spent most of her time speaking about preparing herself for possible political and legal warfare, ironically, the same kind of “lawfare” that Trump himself has faced in New York from those who wished to see him lose the election.

“You try to harm New Yorkers or roll back their rights, I will fight you every step of the way,” Hochul told reporters.

She further mentioned possible disagreements with Trump and his administration about illegal immigration, labor, LGBTQ+ matters, abortion, and environmental policies.

James, who has worked tirelessly to put Trump behind bars, also noted that her office has now been “getting ready” for a possible second Trump presidency.

“I am ready to do everything in my power to ensure our state and nation do not go backwards,” James said in a statement. “Together with Governor Hochul, our partners in state and local government, and my colleague attorneys general from throughout the nation, we will work each and every day to defend Americans, no matter what this new administration throws at us. We are ready to fight back again.”

The Democrat attorney general’s attendance at the news conference was eye-opening and demonstrated that the two top Democrat leaders in New York are getting ready to engage Trump in a combative, warlike manner.

After accusing Trump of misrepresenting his net worth by billions of dollars to obtain better loan and insurance terms, James was awarded a $454 million civil fraud judgment against the business mogul.

However, Trump has appealed the ruling.

“I am NOT fearful of Donald Trump. I have not been fearful of Donald Trump,” James asserted to reporters.

Trump won both the national electoral and popular vote, and he did better in blue New York than he did in 2020. Hochul viewed Trump’s victory as a funeral.

“New Yorkers WILL persevere over the next four years!” she voiced.

Trump’s allies in New York denounced Hochul’s press conference as immature, inappropriate and detrimental to New Yorkers.

“Hochul is out of her mind,” said state Republican Party chairman Ed Cox. “This does not help New Yorkers. It’s dumb and bizarre.”

Additionally, the House GOP Conference chairwoman, Representative Elise Stefanik, made remarks as well.

“President Trump performed better in New York than any Republican presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan. Kathy Hochul has the worst approval ratings for any New York governor in history.” “One of the many reasons why Trump over-performed in New York and across the country was Tish James’ desperate witch hunt and weaponization of the NY AG’s office and the Manhattan district attorney to illegally target Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ political opponents. And he soundly defeated them at the ballot box across the country. I was proud to lead the effort in New York State to fight back against their illegal lawfare,” she added.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

January 15, 2024

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

JAN 16, 2024

Last night, Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), and House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) announced they have agreed to another continuing resolution that will fund the government until March 1 and March 8. Schumer said he will begin the process of passing the continuing resolution when the Senate reconvenes tomorrow. 

The first part of the current continuing resolution that funds the government will run out Friday, and Schumer warned that “[t]o avoid a shutdown, it will take bipartisan cooperation in the Senate and the House to quickly pass the CR and send it to the President's desk before Friday's funding deadline.” 

Schumer is sending a message to the House, since far-right Republican extremists there threw former House speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) out of the speakership for adhering to the budget spending agreement he made with President Joe Biden in June 2023. Now Johnson has agreed to what is essentially the same deal.

It is unclear what actions the funding measure will prompt in the House. According to Marianna Sotomayor and Leigh Ann Caldwell in the Washington Post yesterday, extremist Republicans remain angry enough at their inability to dictate terms to the government that they are, once again, threatening to halt the House’s business in protest, to challenge Johnson’s speakership, and/or to shut down the government. At the same time, other Republicans are angry that Johnson appears to be caving to the extremists, who have made the House a bit of a laughingstock as they made it almost impossible last year for the House to get anything done. More obstruction, another speakership fight, or a government shutdown would hurt the Republicans’ image even more.

Jake Sherman of Punchbowl News reported that Johnson told the House conference that with Kentucky representative Hal Rogers hospitalized after a car accident on Wednesday, and Louisiana representative Steve Scalise out of Congress until February for a stem cell transplant to treat his blood cancer, the Republican majority is so slim there isn’t time for anything other than a continuing resolution. 

Perhaps to appease the extremists, on the same call, Sherman reported, Johnson told the conference that the bipartisan immigration measure being negotiated in the Senate was “DOA in House.” House Republicans have insisted they will not pass additional funding for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan without a measure addressing the border. At the same time, they have also refused Biden’s offer to negotiate, clearly trying to preserve the immigration issue to whip up voters before the 2024 election. Johnson told his conference that Congress “can’t solve [the] border until Trump is elected or a Republican is back in the White House.” In Iowa, Trump promised: “As soon as I take the oath of office, I’ll…begin the largest deportation operation in American history.” 

We got a taste of what those policies will look like over the weekend when on Friday a woman and two children drowned in the Rio Grande and two other migrants were in distress after Texas soldiers prevented Border Patrol officers from entering Shelby Park, the area where the migrants were crossing. A lawyer for the Department of Health and Human Services wrote to Texas attorney general Ken Paxton on Sunday, demanding that Texas stop blocking Border Patrol officers. 

Meanwhile, the image of the migrant woman and children drowning is so damaging that Texas troops claim they didn’t see any distressed migrants and Texas governor Greg Abbott today insisted that the migrants were already dead when his troops stopped the Border Patrol from helping, although that claim does not address the fact that the Texas troops had blocked the Border Patrol’s normal surveillance of the river and had assumed responsibility for it. Abbott tried to argue that the deaths were not his fault but rather Biden’s because, he said, Biden’s policies encouraged migrants to attempt the crossing.   

For their part, Senate Republican negotiators pushed back on the news that Johnson was preemptively tanking the immigration measure, saying that rumors about what’s in it are inaccurate and that Republicans should withhold judgment until they see it. Members of the Senate are eager to pass aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. 

Today, Nahal Toosi explored in Politico how the domestic political infighting in the United States is undermining faith in American democracy around the world. Toosi explained that current and former diplomats pointed to concerns that U.S. foreign policy will change based on the demands of a radical base, and they pointed to Trump’s abrupt exit in 2018 from the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, more popularly known as the Iran nuclear agreement, that significantly restricted Iran’s nuclear development. In the wake of that withdrawal, Iran resumed the previously prohibited uranium enrichment. 

“Foreign relations is very much based on trust, and when you know that the person that is in front of you may not be there or might be followed by somebody that feels exactly the opposite way, what is your incentive to do long-term deals?” a former Latin American diplomat asked of Toosi. A former Mexican ambassador told Toosi that if a Republican takes the White House in 2024, countries will not be able to trust the U.S. as a partner but will instead operate transactionally.

“The world does not have time for the U.S. to rebound back,” a former Asian ambassador told Toosi. “We’ve gone from a unipolar world that we’re familiar with from the 1990s into a multipolar world, but the key pole is still the United States. And if that key pole is not playing the role that we want the U.S. to do, you’ll see alternative forces coming up.” Toosi noted that Russian diplomats were “among those delighting in the U.S. chaos (and fanning it).”

Joblio Inc. Appoints Mark E. Reimann as Vice President of Government Affairs and US Operations

Brings expertise in the field of immigration based upon decades of experience fighting human trafficking as a Senior Special Agent with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Buffalo, NY — Joblio Inc., the transparent and tech-enabled ethical recruitment platform for foreign talent, today announced the appointment of Mark E. Reimann as Vice President of Government Affairs and US Operations. Reimann, a nearly 30-year veteran with the United States Department of Homeland Security is a highly decorated former Senior Special Agent, who brings to Joblio extensive experience in the field of immigration, human smuggling detection , human trafficking and predatory labor fraud. 

A leading investigator in cases involving terrorism, narcotics, money-laundering, and other transnational criminal activities, Reimann has earned top awards from non-governmental organizations as well as from multiple federal agencies including Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Drug Enforcement Administration, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office. His work dismantling a smuggling ring between the U.S. and Canada was recognized by the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force, and his most recent case before joining Joblio involved stopping a complex network of human traffickers that was smuggling Indian nationals into the United States through illegal brokers and corrupt officials.   

Reimann brings Joblio a wealth of firsthand knowledge that will benefit refugees and labor migrants globally as they seek to establish better lives and themselves and their families. His deep base of national and international contacts will benefit Joblio as it expands to new countries and business sectors, while his background in all matters of immigration will enable governments, NGOs and employers globally to understand the importance of ethical recruitment.    

“I have spent my entire career in the service of others, and I look forward to continuing that through the important work that Joblio is doing in the ethical recruitment of international workers,” Reimann said. “I am truly honored to join the team at Joblio and to put my experience as a Special Agent to use helping our employer and employee clients.”  

Joblio, a preeminent leader in international recruiting, is on a mission to redefine the global labor market with a transparent, systematized, and humanized platform that is accessible to workers and employers around the world. As global labor shortages continue to put a strain on supply chains, more employers are looking internationally to add skilled and talented workers to their organizations. Through its proprietary Applicant Concierge Experience (ACE) program, Joblio not only helps workers find foreign employment, it also prepares them to acclimate to their new homes before they even leave their country.

“Mark recognizes the existential threat that human smuggling and trafficking continues to have across the globe,” added Joblio CEO Jon Purizhansky. “He is passionate about leveraging his unique expertise, both domestically and internationally, to ensure that foreign nationals are empowered to achieve the careers and lives they want, unfettered by the corruption and crimes of others.” 

Besides his career in law enforcement, Reimann is actively involved in the Taste of Buffalo, the largest two-day food festival in the United States. He serves on the non-profit event’s volunteer Board of Directors and chairs its Security Committee.

Labor Certification Requirements -  Shankar & Associates, PC

Labor Certification Requirements

Both the employer and the employee must meet certain conditions when submitting a PERM labor certification application. The petitioner is the employer, and the beneficiary is the potential employee.

Requirements of the Employer

The petitioning employer must show that the following facts are true:

The work is a full-time position in the United States.

The role is a legitimate job opportunity for Americans.

The job requirements are not suited to the qualifications of the alien worker.

In other words, unless such requirements can be proved to emerge out of business necessity, the employer must establish that the job's criteria are not overly restrictive.

The provided wage is in line with industry standards.

To meet this requirement, the wage must be equal to or greater than the prevailing wage in the intended employment region for the occupation. (Previously, the US Department of Labor (DOL) accepted a 5% deviation; however, this is no longer allowed.)

It has the financial means to pay the wage offered.

Following the recruitment process, it is found that there are insufficient qualified, willing, and able American workers to accept the job offer and fill the vacancy.

The alien's employment will not have a negative impact on American workers' pay or working conditions.

Requirements for Potential Employees

The following must be attested to by the beneficiary:

He or she met the position's educational and work experience requirements at the time the labor certification application was submitted. If the beneficiary meets or exceeds the minimum standards, there is not a problem.

He or she keeps his or her legal position (if residing in the U.S.).

Both the Department of Labor (DOL) and the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) informally allow sponsoring employers to apply for labor certification and file an immigration petition based on prospective employment, despite the fact that it is not explicitly allowed in regulations. As a result, it makes no difference whether the immigrant works for the sponsoring employer during the application process or after it is approved. Furthermore, after a labor certification is obtained, the sponsoring business is not obligated to continue employing the immigrant. However, after gaining permanent resident status, the foreign employee should work for the sponsoring firm for a fair period of time.

Costs

Sponsoring employers have been responsible for all costs related with preparing, filing, and getting a labor certification since July 16, 2007. Expenses incurred during recruitment, as well as attorney's fees, are included in this category.

Sponsoring businesses are prohibited from receiving any sort of payment as an incentive or inducement to file labor certification applications, as well as from recouping costs, such as attorney's fees, incurred while preparing for and filing an application, under DOL guidelines. Employers who file a petition are no longer allowed to pass on the costs to the alien. They also cannot claim indirect repayment by deducting expenditures from the alien's wages or benefits. Both the employer and the foreigner are responsible for their own legal bills.

Initiative of the USCIS

USCIS initiated an effort in 2011 permitting foreign entrepreneurs to apply for labor certifications under the EB-2 visa category in order to support start-up firms, decrease barriers to full employment, and expedite growth for businesses managed by job-creating entrepreneurs. The project's long-term viability has yet to be determined.

Overall, PERM labor certification is a time-consuming and complicated process. We urge that you seek the advice of an expert immigration lawyer.

New York: Bronx Immigrant Pleads Guilty in $1.5M Romance Fraud, Money-Laundering Ring Targeting Elderly

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wednesday, February 3, 2021

Bronx Man Pleads Guilty To Laundering $1.5 Million In Fraud Proceeds From Business Email Compromises And Romance Scams Targeting Elderly For Ghana-Based Criminal Enterprise              

Audrey Strauss, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, William F. Sweeney Jr., Assistant Director-in-Charge of the New York Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), and Jonathan D. Larsen, Special Agent in Charge of the New York Field Office of the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation (“IRS-CI”), announced that ALHASSAN IDDRIS LARI, a/k/a Hassan Lari, pled guilty today to conspiring to commit money laundering and operating an unlawful money transmitting business, in connection with his involvement from at least in or about 2014 through in or about 2020 with a Ghana-based criminal enterprise that has fraudulently obtained millions of dollars through business email compromises and romance scams that targeted the elderly.  The plea was entered in front of U.S. District Judge George B. Daniels.  LARI is the seventh defendant to plead guilty in the case.

Manhattan U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss said:  “Alhassan Lari and his co-defendants operated an online criminal enterprise whose profile included romance schemes targeting the elderly. Navigating the anonymous world of the internet, and especially online dating, is oftentimes complicated enough without the added peril of fraudsters lurking to scam would-be daters. This case exemplifies the need to always remain alert and cautious on the internet – especially when being asked for money by a stranger, don’t hesitate to swipe left.”

...

According to the Indictment and other filings and statements at public court proceedings in the case:

From at least in or about 2014 through in or about February 2020, LARI was a member of a  criminal enterprise (the “Enterprise”) based in the Republic of Ghana (“Ghana”) that committed a series of business email compromises and romance scams against individuals and businesses located across the United States, including in the Southern District of New York.  LARI, while in the Bronx, New York, received or otherwise directed the receipt of at least approximately $1.5 million in fraud proceeds of the Enterprise in cash from co-conspirators or directly from victims through bank accounts he controlled.  Several of these bank accounts were opened using a shell shipping company, in order to avoid detection and hide the fraudulent nature of the transactions.  Once LARI received the fraud proceeds in bank accounts under his control, he withdrew, transported, and laundered those fraud proceeds to other members of the Enterprise, including those located in Ghana.

LARI also operated an unlicensed money transmitting business located in the Bronx, New York used by co-conspirators of the Enterprise to facilitate and transfer fraud proceeds from the United States to co-conspirators in Ghana.                                 *                            *                      *

LARI, 48, a citizen of both the United States and Ghana,

pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, which carries a maximum sentence of twenty years in prison, and one count of operation of an unlawful money transmitting business, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison.  LARI will be sentenced by U.S. District Judge George B. Daniels on June 16, 2021.

The maximum potential sentences are prescribed by Congress and are provided here for informational purposes only, as any sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the judge.

Other defendants in this case who have been sentenced include Muftau Adamu, a/k/a “Muftau Adams,” a/k/a “Muftau Iddrissu,” 32, of the Bronx, New York, who was sentenced to 51 months in prison on June 7, 2019; Prince Nana Aggrey, 45, of the Bronx, New York, who was sentenced to 30 months in prison on May 10, 2019; and Assana Traore, 41, of the Bronx, New York, who was sentenced to 15 months in prison on October 8, 2019.   Adamu and Aggrey each pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and Traore pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to receive stolen money.  Each of the defendants was sentenced by United States District Judge Denise L. Cote.  

-----------------------------------

At least one of the defendants appears to be a repeat offender who pleaded guilty in a separate NY-Ghana cyber fraud crime ring - again with Muslim immigrant co-defendants.
