A judge on Wednesday sentenced the former head of the Federal Correctional Institute at Dublin to nearly six years behind bars making Ray J. Garcia the first warden in the United States to be sentenced on sex crimes charges to prison – a place where he sexually abused incarcerated women and spent more than 30 years of his career.
Nearly three dozen women at FCI Dublin have either been deported or are facing possible deportation, even though their attorneys say that as sexual assault survivors or witnesses they are eligible for U-visas.
A coalition of advocacy groups and lawyers on Thursday demanded that sexual assault survivors at the all-women's Federal Correctional Institute in Dublin be released.
Recently released documents disclosed by the Obama Justice Department only after a court battle reveal that the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice is engaging in politicized hiring in the career civil service ranks. Typical Washington behavior, you say? Except the hiring in question is nearly unprecedented in scope and significantly eclipses anything the Bush administration was even accused of doing. And the evidence of the current political activity is far less impeachable than what was behind the libelous attacks leveled at officials from the Bush years.
