The Town of Southwest Ranches, Corrections Corporation of American (CCA), and DHS / ICE want to build one of the largest immigration detention centers in the nation within walking distance of thousands of homes; thus, reducing the quality of our life and our community. We do not agree with the federal government privatizing our immigration detention centers throughout the nation when there is clear evidence that privatizing our prisons creates a clear public safety threat. For ICE to continue to privatize these institutions and bring this safety threat through their "secure communities Initiative" to our community is unacceptable. Depriving someone of their liberty is a non-delegable governmental function and privatizing of such a function is infecting our nation like a virus.

The Town of Southwest Ranches has now entered into it's THIRD Fire Contract within the last year now with the Town of Davie, costing taxpayers $120,000 in ramp up fees. They are now closing several roads in western Southwest Ranches charging the tax payers $80,000 for the gates. They have paid an unknown amount of money for lobbying with ICE regarding this prison. They have several lawsuits against the Town, 1- Involving Open Meeting Violations on a November 5th meeting concerning the ICE Detention Center, 2- Open Records Violations, and 3- The Town is putting together a lawsuit to sue Pembroke Pines for breach of contract because the City utilized their exit clause and cancelled for convenience their Fire/EMS contract which included water and sewer at the last minute for the CCA prison. In the contract it states that there should be no third party beneficiaries. CCA would be a third party in this instance.

CCA has also filed suit in Federal court against the City of Pembroke Pines saying they are denying them water however the City had never seen a water application. The City did file for a Declaratory Judgement in State Court but that has been put on hold until the Federal Court hears the suit from CCA.

Is ANYONE CONFUSED as to why the Pembroke Pines/Southwest Ranches Fire Agreement was cancelled? The Town Attorney Keith Poliakoff attempted to "slip" into the agreement a portion that guaranteed water for the prison at CCA's request. This is something that should have been brought up separately. CCA should have brought it forward on their own in a water application. This is sleight of hand that CCA and the Town attempted to do because they were so afraid of CCA being on the Pembroke Pines agenda.

As of June 2012, ICE put out a statement that the site selection was no longer needed due to the fact that the extra bedspace was no longer needed.

Homeland Security/BSO Sargent Santalucia Intimidates Protesters


LATE BREAKING NEWS... DATELINE JANUARY 25, 2012, BOCA RATON, FL, PALM BEACH COUNTY

BROWARD COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE INTIMIDATES ANTI PRISON/ ANTI CCA PROTESTERS IN BOCA RATON AT THE BOCA RATON RESORT & CLUB. PALM BEACH COUNTY IS NOT EVEN IN THE JURISDICTION OF BSO.


ON JANUARY 24, AT APPROXIMATELY 2:30 PM, BSO SARGENT FJ SANTALUCIA WHO WAS RECOGNIZED FROM THE NOVEMBER 5, DHS/ICE/CCA "INFORMATIONAL MEETING" WAS SEEN TAKING PICTURES OF THE PROTESTING GROUP FROM BEHIND A WALL AS HE WAS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY.



THE GROUP WAS PROTESTING INVESTMENTS IN PRIVATE PRISON COMPANIES SUCH AS CCA AND GEO AT THE GAIM USA CONFERENCE.

ULTIMATELY, SARGENT SANTALUCIA CAME OUT AND BEGAN PHOTOGRAPHING THE PROTESTERS IN PLAIN VIEW. AT ONE POINT HE CALLED OUT A SPECIFIC PROTESTER AND TOLD THIS PROTESTER HE WAS THERE TO PHOTOGRAPH HIM *SPECIFICALLY.



EVENTUALLY, HE IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AND PRESENTED HIS BUSINESS CARD. FINDING IT ODD THAT THIS BSO SARGENT WOULD ATTEND BOTH THE ICE MEETING AND THIS OUT-OF-JURISDICTION GAIM CONFERENCE, WE FOUND IT EVEN ODDER THAT HIS TITLE WAS "COUNTY AND DOMESTIC SECURITY."


OUR INVESTIGATIVE TEAM UNCOVERED TWO LINKEDIN PROFILES FOR SARGENT SANTALUCIA.  

http://www.linkedin.com/pub/jay-santalucia/23/904/129
IN THIS PROFILE WE ARE TOLD HIS JOB DESCRIPTION/TITLE IS Sergeant / Homeland Security at Broward Sheriff's Office
HERE'S HIS SECOND PROFILEhttp://www.linkedin.com/pub/jay-santalucia/8/b62/8b8

A CALL IN TO SHERIFF LAMBERTI'S OFFICE YIELDED A PROMISE THAT THEY WOULD CALL US BACK.  THEY DID NOT.

NOT SATISFIED, WE CONTINUED OUR INVESTIGATION AND FOUND THAT THE SUN SENTINEL REPORTED IN 1993 SARGENT SANTALUCIA WAS FIRED BY THE OAKLAND PARK POLICE DEPARTMENT AFTER AN INTERNAL INVESTIGATION FOUND THAT HE HAD SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH PROSTITUTES UNDER HIS JURISDICTION (POSSIBLY MINORS AS WELL.)

OUTRAGEOUSLY, SANTALUCIA UTILIZED THE NAZI NUREMBERG DEFENSE WHICH HAS BEEN RULED ILLEGAL BY INTERNATIONAL TRIBUNAL AS NAZI WAR CRIMINALS WERE PROSECUTED.  IT WAS REPORTED BY THE SUN SENTINEL:
"His argument was that he didn't know any better and was following the orders of a superior officer," Overman said. "That's not acceptable." 
WE CALLED BACK IN TO SHERIFF LAMBERTI'S OFFICE AND WERE MET WITH CLAIMS THAT WE WERE NOT FOLLOWING THE PROPER CHANNELS.  SHERIFF LAMBERTI IS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL AND HE IS ACCOUNTABLE TO THE ELECTORATE.


WE HAVE FIVE QUESTIONS FOR THE SHERIFF:
  • WHAT IS THE EXTENT OF BSO'S INVOLVEMENT WITH THE FEDERAL DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY IN SPYING ON THE ANTI PRISON MOVEMENT IN SOUTH FLORIDA
  • WHY ARE COUNTY RESOURCES DEPLOYED IN ANOTHER COUNTY TO REVIEW FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTED ACTIVITIES
  • ARE ANY OF THE ANTI PRISON MOVEMENT FROM WEST BROWARD UNDER CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION BY BSO
  • WHY WOULD BSO HIRE A DISGRACED OFFICER SUCH AS SANTALUCIA WHO HAS NO UNDERSTANDING OF ABUSE OF POWER, HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES AND THE NUREMBURG DEFENSE
  • TO WHAT EXTENT HAS BSO BEEN "FEDERALIZED"?
WE WANT ANSWERS. THE SHERIFF IS THE LAST LINE OF DEFENSE AGAINST TYRANNICAL BEHAVIOR.  HE HEADS OUR POLICE FORCE AND IS DIRECTLY ACCOUNTABLE TO THE PEOPLE.

SHERIFF LAMBERTI?

  3. Just like they tried to intimidate us from attending the Nov 5th ICE meeting... They are hired thugs, not here to protect our rights, but to take them away... Are we in the USA or Communist China? I find myself asking that question alot these days...

  4. I will say that the Boca Raton police department acted in a 100%, completely professional manner. They were respectful, accommodating and kept order. You couldn't ask for any higher level of professionalism and service from them, yesterday.

  7. Just like we did nothing wrong filming him. Where it becomes intimidation is for a police officer, with a history of sexual assault, singles out a young mother and tells her "I'm here to film you."

    Why are BSO police resources being deployed to another county? Is there a criminal investigation going on? Is exercising free speech probable cause for an investigation?

    Our questions for the Sheriff are there. Notice that not one of them challenges their power/right to film in public? Hopefully, our police remain respectful of OUR authority to film THEM under ANY circumstances they are in public.

    Thanks for your comment.
