And we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came. All the immigrants, the place you're going to go

is not going to be what you think it is. If you don't have... They automatically pick you up and put your nice facility holding. I was born in Albania. I was born in the hospital of Tiarana. That's a place in Albania. And this is where the story leads to after the whole situation. So I got to tell you this part because it'll come down to later on what's going to really happen.

You know, with my situation going back, which everybody will understand. So basically in Albania family, it was a communist time. So communist time in Albania in 1990, soon as I was born, I remember my uncle, gave me a kiss on the cheek. He named me Armando. He said, I'm going to name him Armando, and that's going to be it. And then my family is like, okay, I guess you chose the name. And I guess Armando was named after Armando Maradona Laco, so Maradona. So that's what he, he liked the name Maradona and Armando.

It was a good friend of his. And that's how it came out to be the name. So my family never chose those. My uncle. But right after that, if you look at pictures at the 1990, they brought down the wall. The Albanian wall was taken down by like a tank and a bunch of people. My uncle was involved in that. So they took down the embassy wall to escape Albania. So some went to Germany, some went to America.

So you have to understand. Not everybody knows what you're talking. You're talking about the Soviet Union had collapsed. Yes, yes, yes. The wall that was separating what? Albania. Albania at the time had a wall that separated that you cannot leave. You cannot go to the embassies.

You cannot escape at all. You can airlines or nothing, but there's a wall. There's a wall that led to the embassies, like the American embassy, the German embassy and everything. So there was a wall protecting it that you cannot pass that wall. We're kind of like the wall and what, separating what, a West and East Jersey. Germany where at one time, like, all the walls started coming down, right? Yes. Yes.

They started. And Albania came down. Yeah. So 1990 is when I was born and then like literally months after that, that's when they decided to take down the wall with the tank. And they have like images on there where the tank goes through there. So my uncles were involved in that. Two my uncles, Arthon and Arben.

They were known to going with the guys, getting a group of fellas from the neighborhood and taken down that wall shooting the officers or whatnot and trying to escape, you know, they try to escape the communist. They didn't want to. So you have to choose where you're going to go because they're going to shut down the embassies. So some people would go to Germany. Some people try to make it to the American embassy, but that one's a little farther apart. So they just went to the closest one.

So one uncle got actually, yeah, one uncle made it to Germany. The other one made it to Italy. and then that's all I know from my part. Everybody else, I don't know what happened. But they closed down the embassy after that. After you got in, you have to try to fight yourself in. They fought themselves in. They close it down.

And then that's what happened. So then after that, never saw my uncle again after later on down the road. So embassy, it's done. They ended the communist era. They decided to open up everything. So like the 1990s after that, Albania, was allowed, but there was still like war with Kosovo, Serbia, and they had a lot of situations. Okay.

I was just born. So I don't know too much of a lot of the stuff. All I know is that I'm going to bring some of the parts that play a major role in my life. There's a lot of stuff that happened in my life, but I'm going to bring the parts that made a major role that made me the person I am today or turned me to the individual that I was and what I became, right? So there's a lot of stuff that took place. I'll come out with the ones that made a difference in my life. Okay. So now my uncle at that time, he went to Italy but got deported.

I don't know what he did. Had some situations in Italy at the point. They deported him. So he came back. This was the uncle that's currently in Arizona and owns a pizza shop. Doing good now, you know, change his life around. But at the time, he was probably the worst. of them all. And it's funny because you got the other uncle who's big, top, huge, you know,

bigger guy and everybody in the family's tall. Like we got genetics of being big and tall and whatever. And then this uncle is the shortest one, but the scariest and the deadliest of them all. So everybody looks at him. It's like, this one, he's the one. So yeah, he's the one. So that uncle had a situation with a family back in the day. But, It wasn't really a situation. This family is really well known in Albania. They were kind of mob-related, bandits, if you want to call it. They would just go around and they would just go to any business and say, hey, you owe us money.

We're going to protect your business. We're going to defend you guys. Nobody's going to come and mess with you. Here's how much money you need to pay us monthly. You know what I mean? So kind of corruption, kind of like the mafia did back in the day in New York or whatnot. That's what happened in Albania. the time. So they would go to every business and then they would tax the business.

My uncle at the time owned, I think it was a coffee shop, a little small coffee shop, um, sell the Borek. We had Borek and Baclavar, kind of some Albania dishes that we had. And, um, the bandits decided to come over there. Um, last name should I, I'll say, I'll say last name and they would know, uh, it's the Boreisha family. Okay. So the Bresias are well known. And one of the prime minister that nobody liked at the time in Albania, that actually is doing house arrest now and doing jail time is Sal Borecia. Sal Brescia has a really bad record in Albania for corruption and everything else. So that's funny how the bandits and for some reason the prime minister, same name Borecia,

but always said that they never were related to one another. They never had no, it was just different names, or same last name, but they have no connection at all. You know, they don't know each other. But for some reason, they always got away with everything, and they needed something. They would go to the prime minister. So that's back in the day.

So anyways, my uncle was hardheaded. That's why he got the porter from Italy. He's just one of those type of guys, and he doesn't take no for an answer. He's just a very hardheaded person. So the people came over to his shop. and says, you're going to give us this much of money, you know, every month. And we're going to tax you.

And we've taxed everybody around here, and that's how it's going to be. And my uncle said, I don't even make that much money. How can you guys tax me? I don't make that much money. This is Albania. We barely make enough to live. Individual goes, doesn't matter. I mean, that's how it is.

Or your shop's not going to be here no more. And then so my uncle said, you know what? I don't want to have any problems. Why don't you come back tomorrow and I'll have that payment ready for you. And the video said, okay, we're ready to go. They left and they came back the same day, two fellas. This is coming from my uncle, but this is also coming from, I like to see proof. I'm a type of guy likes to see proof.

I don't believe anything anybody says, but he's got magazines and everything that I can even show you, like magazines of all the stuff he did. That's why he's an American citizen and that's why they gave him refugee. And that's why he's in America for protection. So individuals came back, asked for the money. He said, yeah, let me get it from you. It's in the back. Came out with a gun and shot him, shot him both, I think,

three individuals inside the coffee shop. One of them was paralyzed. And that's the person that has a problem still today. He's paralyzed from the waist down. And then the other two lived. but they got hurt, but they got back inside the vehicles and took off and went to the hospital. Okay. So anyways, he said, they're going to come back for me.

Let me just close down the shop. Close down the shop and said, forget about it. I'm just going to relocate, do something else. So at that time, he was endures. It's just a place outside where we kind of look like, it's where the beach is and everything. It's a tourist attraction. A lot of people might have visited Albania and went to Doris. So he said, I'm going to relocate.

Well, it's not that easy. These people have connections everywhere. There's no chance to relocate. So what I remember is, I don't remember it physically. I remember the noises. I remember the noises. And I remember the crying, the screaming and everything. We were in the car.

Uncle's in the backseat of the vehicle. My father was driving at the time. My mother was holding me in her. hand. I was just born, you know, probably two years old, three years old at the time. And individuals, my uncle said, stop a little bit. I see something weird. Don't drive too fast. And then the person kept following us, kept following us. And he said, everybody dug down. He knew what was going to happen. We had no idea. We know what's going. We don't know what happened. We just knew that he did what he did. But we don't know if he still has a problem with these

individuals. Sprayed the car. I'm talking about when the cop showed up seven to eight gunshots. One of them was literally, I say about an inch, two inches to my head. So my mom's carrying me at the time, right? And she's holding me. And then from the shots of where it went, they looked at it and was literally about an inch away from my head. So if she would have done something or panicked or whatever it might be, that's it. It would have been the end of that. So these individuals, individuals are serious. After that, my uncle, like I said, hardheaded does not take after that. He said, I can't believe they would do that. They shouldn't shoot up, you know, the family with the kid inside. They didn't know who was inside. They just knew my uncle was inside. He was driving the vehicle at the time.

So anyways, they decided to capture my mother, captured my mother and took her to an area like up in the mountaintops of like Skodra. It's a place out there outside of Albania. So they said, we kidnapped your sister. This is how it's going to be. We need that money. How's it going to work? My uncle says, you did what? It's called my dad, said, where's my sister?

She said, I haven't seen her. She says she was going to go grocery shopping. I told you guys stayed together. What the hell are you guys doing? So anyways, my father said, let me look into it, see what happens. I guess the people at the grocery store said some individuals came, took this woman and put her in the car and they left. So what he decides to do, you know, to make things fair,

is kidnap the mother of their family. So finds a way, sits down there, waits hours and hours and hours at this point. They're not allowed to harm the woman. They just want their money. And they want my uncle to come and settle up for what he did with paralyzing the individual, right? So anyways, at that point, I remember crying and saying, where's mom, where's mom has been? I was talking about about a week now, you know? Finally, he got the hands of the mother and took her and took her to a village outside of Albania.

And it's kind of like ridiculous as it seems, but it's, you know, very serious, but it was kind of a tradeoff. The mother for my sister, anything happens, that's how it's going to be. We're both going to lose somebody. So they made an even tradeoff. My uncle came back at that point from Germany. Things got serious. They made an even tradeoff. And nothing happened at that point.

It was more like she's in the vehicle. She's in the vehicle. You know what to do. The tradeoff was done well. After that month, it was like, we got to make a move. We got to get out here. This is getting serious.

You know, these guys are going to keep coming back at me because I paralyzed one of them. And they need to get back at me. Anyways, he got a passport situated. I don't know what he did on his end, but he got a passport situated and he went to America. You know, he had newspaper articles and everything and he became a citizen of the United States over time, a long time of being there. He got here and he was able to show that if he stayed in his country, he'd be killed. He was able to show that through documentation to the U.S.

and the U.S. gave him asylum. asylum right away, especially having a problem with the guards at the time and everything else. And the Albanian embassy, Albanian embassy can call them and said, we don't even want this person back. So good luck with you guys. So anyways, he showed all the paperwork. He said it was my fault. They came trying to try to get some ransom and blah, blah, blah. He told the whole story.

They had all the proof to back it up and became a citizen. You know, but that was in time. In America, it's very difficult with immigration. It takes a long time. It's not as fast as other countries is. But at that point, we needed to go. We needed to figure something out. I mean, he left.

So he left us some money behind. My father got a visa and my father went to America with a visa. At that point, he got everything situated. He got us like an apartment. And he said, now it's time for you guys to come. My uncle in Germany situated a way for us to come to America with, I mean, it's all documented right now. but using fake passports. I've been using Mando's whole body deodorant,

They're making passports for $500,000, and then you can have a whole passport that looks like you with your face,

and then you pay somebody, and then you can make it. And the best place to go to was Luxembourg. Luxembourg is one of the top places where you can just go to another country and there's no patrol. There's not a lot of investigation. There's not a lot of people there. So that's what my mom did. We went, we got everything ready.

We packed up. We needed to go see. I was like, where's dad? Where did he go? He's in America. We got to go to America. We got to hurry up. So from Albania to, well, was in Germany.

picked up the passports, stayed there for a few days with my uncle, and then straight to the airport of New York. So the New York airport. I don't remember the name of the New York. I know the Sky Harbor of Arizona, but not the New York. Is it Kennedy? Kennedy or no, what is it? Kennedy. Is it LaGuardia in New York? Anyway. Yeah. One of the airports in New York. And then my mom said that they caught us. In New York, actually caught us. And they said, these passports, sports don't look, but I was crying. My mom was crying and the individual let us go. He was like, you know what? Just go figure it out. I don't know what's going on, but everybody's crying and something's happening here. So you guys can go ahead. Like he really didn't take a really good look

at anything to be honest with you. He just saw the name and saw how sad we were and let us proceed. After that, stayed a couple days in New York. An individual picked us up, drove all the way to Arizona, where my dad was. And that's what started my life. Now I'm in Arizona, five years old, and I'm thinking I'm an American citizen. I'm thinking I'm an American citizen the whole time. Nobody tells me anything about, like, we have no papers or, you know, like we're struggling to get papers or anything. All I remember is my dad working every single day.

And then the lawyer would call and says, we need 20,000, we need 40,000, we need 30,000. So my dad would work day and night at his pizza shop that my uncle opened up because he came first, right? He came first. He opened up the pizza shop and helped my dad out. So at that time, you know, my dad was working every single day. A lot of corrupt lawyers out there in Arizona, everywhere, New York. They take your money. They don't do anything.

I remember the time where the lawyer took $40,000 because we're going to the U.S. Supreme Court district, like the Supreme Court, the highest court. Anyways, he was supposed to send something in on time. He said his mother was sick. But then we checked on his, what is it, MySpace at the time? And he was on vacation. He was on vacation. There was no mother sick.

He was on vacation and joined himself and with his wife and everything. And I'm looking at myself like, didn't you just give this guy money? You know? And then my dad said, yeah, I guess so, but his mother's sick. And I'm like, okay, well, maybe he did. He put everything in the system, right? At least he got his job done. No. That day I remember clearly that was the first time I ever went to immigration ice facility holding.

I'm like 13 years old, ready to go to school, and then I have football that day. And I see a bunch of cops outside the house. And I said, what are these, you know, all black with the ice, with the ice logo on. I'm like, dad, who are these people? My dad's like, I don't know. And he said, what's going on here? He said, we have nothing in the system. You have an ice hold on you.

And we got to take you downtown. So I don't know nothing about this. You know what I'm saying? My dad's like, okay, so me, right? You're taking me? Say, no, taking the whole family. You know? So at that time, I got two brothers and a sister.

All of them are American citizens. They were born in America. I guess I'm the lucky one, right? I'm the one who had to face everything. But I always say to myself, I'd rather be me than them. I'd never wish what I went through to my brothers and sisters. How old are you at this point? Right now?

BetMGM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with Eye Gaming, Ontario. No. In the story. Okay. That was around 13 years old. Okay. 13 years old. Ice comes.

They don't care what age you are. They don't care at all what age you are. And I picked me up, picked up my dad. My mom didn't. My mom didn't pick her up because she was pregnant at the time. Okay. So we try to say she's pregnant. She's pregnant.

Like, come on. Like, she's not going to go anywhere. She's going to be in this house. So they had some sympathy for her. Let us, let me and my father go inside the car. And we went downtown to downtown Phoenix where the ice facility is. And they call it ice because it's cold. It's freezing in there.

And it really is. It's freezing. I was. I'm in Canada and it's colder than Canada. Okay, that's how cold it was in there. So first time being in jail, 13 years old, what's going on here? I'm like, you know, what's, what, what do I do? What am I in this case?

Can I get out? Like, I'm like, can I get out? My dad's like, just, just calm down, relax. We're trying to figure it out. We got to call the lawyer, blah, blah, blah. Anyways, that lawyer that, you know, hopefully everybody hears this because of everything that's going to happen, hopefully with this mass deportation with Donald Trump and what's, going on. Hopefully everybody hears us to get your stuff in the system. If you don't have anything

pending in the system, they automatically pick you up and put your nice facility holding. You always got to have something pending in the system. It could be anything, but you've got to have something pending. If you don't, you're done. You're getting picked up. So the lawyer was making excuses. Oh, I send it in not on time because of my mother and she was sick. But don't worry, I'm going to get everything. So he did. Like before five, o'clock he submitted something in there it was probably some BS he didn't do a good job but he submitted something in the paperwork in the system so the officers were waiting we're waiting and said i guess we contact your lawyer you got something in the system there's something pending now and we're going

to release you soon i was like okay but if he didn't i would be going to wherever the underage holding is. And then my dad would have went to Florence or Eloy. Those are the two places out there in Arizona that they keep you. So anyways, I get out. After that, we celebrate. We think that, you know, our lawyer did a good job. We go out there and have a dinner. Have a good time. We're thinking it's all over. The lawyer took care of it. So anyways, after that, I continue my life, right? Football. good kid. I'm talking about, didn't drink anything since after high school. Just focused on football. It was always, or it was always playing like, I got like magazines right here. This is me like on the Boulder Creek football team. Right on the very, on the very side over here. So then I got a full right scholarship to like Glendale Community College at the time.

Full-life scholarship for football for Glendell Community College, which later on, led to hopefully getting, but I had to pay half of my money, but to go to Arizona State University, right? So football's going well. Glendell accepted me. I was working on the way to go to Arizona State University. After that, go to a combine, trying to make it pro. That was my thing.

That was my whole thing. My dad told me, he's like, listen, either be NFL football player or pizza shop. Those are your two choices. You're a really good pizza maker. We have pizza shops. You're either going to work at a pizza next with pizza up in your whole life or become a professional football player. You've got another choices.

So I was like, all right, I guess football is the way to go because I'm not trying to do anything else. So after that, that's it. I found a woman, found love with her. She was my first, like, my first love kind of thing. And then she was Colombian. We were together the whole entire time. everything was going great you know family was working and this is you're still in college

no this is high school this high school okay this high school this high school this high school so right this all throughout high school so like I said right after high school that's when everything hit the fan but high school was good you know talking about girlfriend work home worked to the pizza shop made good money didn't engage in parties anything like that because at the time in Arizona we had a big problem with they were called somas somas it was kind of like uh somas was kind of like uh i don't want to say like an oxy-kind everybody got involved in the somas and it was all coming over the border then everybody got into and this was anthem

Arizona all throughout Arizona at this time but anthem where i was at got hit hard with it because there's a lot of like well-off kids that can afford it So they can afford to buy this stuff. So a lot of people, he's talking about wealthy people. They thought their kids were doing well. They're giving their kids money to per school, $40, $50. They would go and buy some black tar and go to a friend's house and do whatever they do. Like put it on the aluminum foil and smoke it up.

And that's what they've engaged in, all of them. So I went to a few of those parties. I'm like, this is, like, what are you guys doing? Like, everybody's falling asleep. Like, what's not fun? Everybody's falling asleep. It's like, what are you guys doing? It's ridiculous.

It's not even a party. So I went to a couple of them and I just, I never engaged into it. But that was a pandemic. It had a heart. It was coming all through the border of Mexico. And then they would come over there and they'd just black tar. That was the thing back then. And lost a lot of friends through it.

You know, a lot of friends. I can name them, Harlan Plas and Sloan got involved. And a lot of good friends, they got into it. Some of them got clean. Some of them didn't make it, you know. So anyways, at that time, like I said, football school work. Football school work. Dad was very strict with me.

They didn't want me to go out. They didn't want me to do anything. He said, the night is the devil's night. You never want to go outside after, you know, once you see the, the sun or once you see the sun go down the night comes up that's the devil's night if you want to play with the devil be outside i don't play with no devil i'd rather go inside so that's what i did stay inside the entire time now what was it uh right after that after i got accepted to glendale community college everything was going great i thought you know big happy family we eat our final

dinner together which we didn't even know it was um Yeah, everybody that day was upset, very emotional. And it was more for the kids, right? Because at that time, I got two brothers and a sister. And they're like, they're asking me every day, where's mom, where's dad? Where's mom? Where's dad? So I'm like, this is getting, you know, it's getting emotional.

But what happened was, is they found a fraudulent document at the time. But it was a communist era. How do you know if the documents were or not? It's communist. You don't know what documents were. Nobody shows you what stamps were. involved. So I said there was a fake stamp on one of the documents on my father's petition for asylum. You know what I mean? But my father got the asylum. We were on the reports, or my uncle,

sorry, got the asylum. We were on all the reports. So we should be getting asylum as well. I mean, we have all the evidence to back it up. But I get this, they said one of the stamps was fraudulent. And this is all on Google. If they look up, Artur Lago, the U.S. Supreme Court, and then the denial, the denial that he didn't get accepted because of a fraudulent document. So at that time, immigration calls and they do their job. I got nothing against them. That's their job, right?

That's their job. They get people and to deport them. They don't do the deporting part. of it it's actually your deportation officer but their job is to grab people and take them in i mean they got to feed their family i got nothing against them you know i'm saying i got something against the people that play the trick behind the scene once you're locked up you know i'm saying so after that they told my parents like it's it's very sneaky the moves they do can you just come down to uh the ice facility and phoenix like just it was random they called them and they said the next day can you come to

And at this time, my dad has a business. He's got a couple of Americans working for employees. He's got, you know, to the point in his head, we can never be like, we're not going to get deported. Like, there's no way we're going to get deported. He started buying a house. He started, you start, I'll say, why are you doing? And my uncle kept telling him, don't do that until you officially get your documents. But in his head, he's an already American citizen, you know what I'm saying?

And in my head, I'm an American citizen because I don't know what's going on. I just think I got accepted to playing football. I got accepted to this. I'm an American citizen. You know what I'm saying? So what happened was they said the next day, come down to just for an interview. He said, I have a lawyer. Why would I come down for an interview?

Contact my lawyer. The lawyer says something happened with your Supreme Court paperwork. You got to go down there. He said, what is it with the lawyer? He's like, what are you doing? I got paid you and I remember this. You had $40,000 cash. So I'm saying everybody, be careful which lawyers you get.

Be careful. Do a background check, really check with them. Lawyers are out there to get you. 80% of them are all corrupt. All of them. I'm not talking about just criminal. Talking about immigration and criminal, but immigration mostly. They don't care.

They don't even know. They'll open up a law firm and they'll say this is for immigration. But we do everything. If a lawyer says we do everything, we do. criminal, immigration, divorce, and all this. If they say they do everything, they don't do none of it. They're just trying to get your money. If they say we specifically work with, you know, immigration,

we specifically work with divorce courts. Then you could trust them. But once you know that they, I'll do, we could do anything. That's just BS. How are you going to learn everything all at once? You know what I'm saying? It's impossible. There's so many laws, so many stuff to get into it.

So anyways, he's just, that good. guy, that lawyer that we're talking about, standard, uh, his name. But if you look at up Arizona corrupt lawyers, he'll pop up there. He's doing, he did jail time. He did jail time for five years for taking people's money and not coming through. I don't know what the charges were, but he actually did jail time for fraudulent for a lot of people, not just me, just a lot of families in general. So just imagine how many families this guy destroyed, just destroyed, separating kids from their parents. And that's what leads to, you know,

you becoming somebody different when you lose your family, you know? Not physically losing them, though, but not having them every day. Because at that time, I'm playing football. I'm having everything. You know, I got everything was going well. And I got my father. I got my mother next to me.

So it's important to have parents by your side at any time, you know, so you put you in the right direction. Every time I wanted to go to a party, do something. Dad said, don't do that. Work, work, work, every single day. Work, school, football. Work, school, football. After that, my father went down to the interview.

He was there. They said, we need to speak with your wife. Can she come down here? He goes, I'm here. Tell me what you need to know. I'll call my wife and we'll put on speaker. He said, your wife needs to come down here. We need to speak with her.

You got to do some fingerprints and it's nothing. It's nothing big. It's just a couple of fingerprints. And my dad doesn't know English that well at that time. You know, he's barely, he's barely learning English. He worked at a pizza shop. So he knows, hi, how are you? What kind of pizza, pepperoni, cheese, mushroom, great pepper?

He knows like the basic words, right? But it doesn't know like perfect English. So he just believes the officers. And he says, okay, well, you got to come down here, getting your vehicle come down. And then he goes, okay, but I'm going to bring. Armando or um to translate for us to do what's going on. I said, okay, I'll come with you.

I hopped in the car with my mother. We went straight down to a immigration ice facility. Um, at this whole time, the lawyer was telling us that something was like not right, that they might deny your claim, but don't worry. I can push it. But it's like, I'm not trying to push it, but he never told us about the fraudulent stamp that they have found out. Never because he wanted to squeeze more money.

You know what I mean? If you would have told us that, we would have known that there's no way. We would have kept the money and probably just went back to Albania, the right way. And then just fought our way to come back to the country since he has U.S. citizen kids. You know what I mean? Right. So we would have saved a bunch of cash. But he never told us.

Daddy just said, don't worry. It's just this is how the policy works. You just got to go down there for the interview. But it's okay. Nothing's going to happen. Okay, nothing's going to happen. Listen to the lawyer. We go down there, my mother walks in. At this time, she has diabetes, she has anxiety, depression.

It's having her like my brother, so my, or, yeah, my brother, she went through some, or she had the baby. She went through a hard time. So it caused a lot of, like, I don't know, depression, anxiety. I don't know what happened. But after she had my brother, something happened to her mentally, you know what I'm saying? She's not like a horrible person or freaks out or does anything crazy. She just always scared and anxious about stuff.

And when she's walking in, she's getting nervous. I see her shake. I'm holding her hand. I said, everything's fine. Nothing's going to happen. Soon as they walk in, as soon as they see her, they say, can you guys stand up, please? Handcuff. Handcuff.

I go, what's the handcuffs for? Should I contact the lawyer? The lawyer knows. What does the lawyer know? He told my dad everything goes, okay, okay, you're coming down there for an interview. Well, you should really, what the officer said exactly was, you should really know who your lawyer is and be careful and what lawyers to choose. If that's what he told you. So I'm thinking at this time, so I called the lawyer.

I'm like, they're in handcuffs. What are you doing? What's going on here? And then he goes, they shouldn't be in handcuffs. Everything's in the paperwork, like stuff's in the system. I was like, no, they're in handcuffs. And at this time, he told us something that's going to happen. And I told my father, I said, why don't we just go to Canada?

You know what I'm saying? I was like, and he thought it was a stupid idea. But we have an asylum. If he went to Canada, they would have proved. Canada's more lenient. They're more accepting towards people. You know, a lot of, I mean, you can see what's going on. They accept, you know, like Arabic, like if you're, you know, if you're Muslim and you're Christian and this and that and you can prove it, they'll give you papers, they'll give you everything in Canada once you come.

So they're more accepting over asylums and blood feuds and all that stuff. They're more accepting. We have an uncle over here in Canada. He said, just come to Canada. We'll figure it out. Come to Canada, fall asylum, and that's it. That was the plan. I kept telling my dad, but stubborn, very, very, very.

very stubborn. No, I own a business. I got, uh, I got American, uh, Americans working for me. I'm helping the country. I'm paying taxes. There's no way. No way. I'll get the boarded. No way. All right. Whatever, man. So after he got handcuffed, he figured out that, yeah, that's what's about to happen. So he got handcuffed. He's saying, call the lawyer, call the lawyer. I said, called the lawyer. He's saying that he doesn't know what's going on. I guess the you, U.S. Supreme Court, that's the highest court you can go to, but they deny this claim due to the fraudulent documents. There's nothing a lawyer can do. And you wanted more money.

That's what I told him, no, don't give him any more money. He said, if you give me $30,000, I'll try to appeal. You cannot appeal it again. You have three chances. That's it. So be careful, everybody. You have three chances. That's it.

If you've appealed it three times, the rest of what you're doing is nothing. You're just, you're not even buying time. You're just going to get a denial in about. three months, two months. They're going to deny you and that's it. You got three chances to appeal your paperwork. And then the last one is the U.S. Supreme Court, the 9th District. And that's it. Once they say no, denied, you're done. You're getting deported. Like, it's over. So he wanted more money. He goes, I can appeal it. I think you cannot appeal it anymore. Even the officer told us, the immigration officer.

Do not give the guy any more money. Don't listen to me. I'm just trying to help out. But there's nothing left. The nine circus said you're getting deported. You're getting deported. So anyways, they get handcuffed. My mother feigns. They're trying to drag her back up. She faints again. She's going crazy. I need my kids. I need to see my kids. I need to see my kids crying and crying and crying. They give her some medication. My dad's like, I don't know what's going on. They take my dad to Florence. They take my mom to Eloh. But they're in like low, you know, very low, low, because they never did anything, but dad didn't even get a speeding ticket in the States. Not even a speeding ticket.

Nothing, you know, clean record. So they took it to some camp. They hold you in a camp. At this time, I got to explain to all the kids what's going on with the family. Luckily, we have this uncle that was a bad man at the time, but changed his life around. Good thing he did. And he kind of took care of the kids. You know, he's, that's that. He stepped up as an uncle, which that's great because at that time, I couldn't even take care of myself. You know what I mean? Let alone take care of two kids. How am I supposed to take care of?

How am I supposed to make this money? What am I supposed to do? You know? And my purpose was football pizza shop. So after that, forget about football. I'm going to run the pizza shop to try to help out the family. You know, they need some money. They need this.

The kids need money. Everybody that. So that ended that, but you can't focus anymore. After your parents get deported, after you see what you did, you're kind of angry, you're angry at yourself. You're kind of angry at the government. You're angry at immigrant. You're angry at a lot of people that it's not their fault. You know what I mean?

But you're just angry. That's how it is. Like you get caught up. They take away your family from you and you just anger at the world. But at that time, that's when the drinking starts. So I haven't drank anything since all throughout high school. So at that time, my girlfriend, the one that, like we're planning on getting married, having kids, and we had all this stuff planned out. So Clara goes, I got to go to Florida.

Could I stay here with you because you're going through a tough time or go to Florida? I said, you know what? I already lost my parents. Like they're gone to another country. You continue your life. I don't know what's going to happen with me. I really don't know. Me keeping you here is selfish.

Why would I keep you here? Something happens to me, and then you held back your dream. Your dream must be to become a nurse. You found an amazing scholarship to Florida, and I forgot the name. But anyways, that's a nice school in Florida for nursing. They're well known over there, and you become a doctor, which now she's a heart surgeon and everything, and she's making great money, and she had married her.

But anyways, they didn't have a choice on that end, because what happened was that's there. Here's how it escalated. So anyways, now she's gone. Kissed kids, goodbye. We see each other a couple times. We meet last time we meet was in Vegas. This is like my high school sweetheart, first love, everything.

You know what I mean? Right. It meant to me like my family, you know what I mean? So losing her was like, wow, I can't believe this happened. So now she's out there in Florida and whoever says long distance relationships work, it's all a bunch of BS. They don't work out long distance relationships. Long distance relationships never work out. There's always somebody to get involved.

There's always somebody who's going to put their foot in and getting your business. It's never works out. It's very rare that you'll have a long distance relationship work. So she ends up finding a doctor. And that's Colombian, not Albanian, speaks her language, knows how to be romantic and nice. At that time, I'm drinking every day and I'm a mess. My family's deported. I'm angry at the world.

She finds this doctor. There you go. So I end up losing her to the Colombian doctor that I wish him the best now. I mean, they got kids and everything. They're married. This was what, 12 year, 14, years ago. So anyways, it's all done. So she's out of the picture. Family's out of the picture. Now I'm starting hanging out with individuals I shouldn't be hanging out with. And we're driving one

day to the pizza shop. This was the last time I had the pizza shop because after that, I did three months in Maricopa County and Durango. So I was in Durango at the time. How old are you? Uh, that's, so 2009, I graduated 09, the school, uh, yeah, class of 09 and, um, 1920. So around 19, 20 years old. And, uh, yeah, and that least, so deportation was 2012, 2012 was deportation. Yeah. So then, um, anyway, so. Right after that, I had to take care of the pizza shop. My dad said, take care of the pizza shop. Football's over.

Forget about it. You're hurt. I hurt my knee. I hurt everything. That was another thing. I lost the love of my life. Then I lost the love of my life. I'm in high school, right?

But that's what I'm thinking. She's the love of my life. We were planning to getting married and everything. Now I lost my other love, football. So I got hurt. Going to Glendale Community College. I got a torn ACL, torn meniscus. And I got a full, like a full.

knee surgery I needed to do. I'm like, this is ridiculous. I can't even play football no more. My dad said, you're hurt. Go to the pizza shop. I need you to the pizzeria. We need to make some money. My dad tried. He left, I don't know what to have. He left with like $150,000 to Albania, which is a lot of money. Albania is a poor country, you know, like, I mean, we're talking about police officers in Albania get $500 a month. Right. You know what I'm saying? The president gets like $2,000. like there's no money in Albania. So, but he tried to open up a restaurant. He's thinking that he can open up restaurants.

He thinks he can do it like the American style way. So he opened up Armando's pizza. And he opened up, uh, car washed. Then you opened up another pizza shop like New York style best pizza. These people didn't care. You know what kind of pizza shop name or you from the States or whatever. They wanted like, can you put me on your list? Can you put me in your list?

I don't have any money. Can you put me in your list? So in Albania is very corrupt And then like Corrupt yes But not a lot of people have money So it's more giving giving giving giving Right

So my dad give more than he can Then he can make And he ended up closing all these shops So all this like 150,000 That was all gone within a couple of years You know what I'm saying? Right So anyways

On the way of going to the pizza shop me and a friend of mine he likes to smoke his Cush, he likes good Cush. He loves his Cush. So he always brought his Cush along. But I didn't know that this person had three charges.

One time for a couple pounds, another time for this and that. I didn't know. I mean, I knew of him, but he never told me like his record or anything like that. We never got a ball. He was just, he worked at the Friars. He made sandwiches. and I did pizza and I did the rest, right? And he would go and help me out at the pizza shop.

I'd give him some money. He'd buy some cush. And that's it. Officer pulls us over, knows, follows, he knows the individual and he's following us. I said,

why is this? It looks like an undercover. And he's like, it is an undercover. And I'm like, why is he following us? And he goes, I don't know.

So he puts something right in the back, like just tosses it in the back of the seat, you know? I'm thinking myself like, he's like, yeah, what are you doing, man? He's like nothing like you know they might say something about them Kushna.

I'm like it's not like that's like a not even an ounce. It's nothing. It's not a big deal. Anyways, he goes, whatever. Just drive slow blah blah blah be calm. Okay. Anyways, lights go on. They ended up finding them cushion. Of course, what's going on here? Do you have any in the car? I don't know what to say. You know, we were always taught like, Don't say nothing to cops. Don't say nothing to anybody. I don't know what's in the car. It's your car.

How do you not know what's inside of it? He's doing the light thing. This idiot puts it like right in the back seat. So the cop looks at it like he goes, oh, what's that bag over there in the back? I don't know. Do we have the right to check or we've got to get a warrant to go inside the vehicle? Now, this is the first time that, you know,

I'm getting pulled over by a cop and getting into this criminal thing. right now i'm not used to it it was all football school work good kid right so i'm like all right whatever i was like yeah i didn't know when he would like get a warrant or do this i don't know anything i said yeah you can check it out i don't know check out what's in the vehicle he's like so who's is this so somebody had to take the charge you know what i'm saying somebody had to say it's mine so you're the person driving the vehicle so supposedly it's yours he runs our he runs our records, mine's clean, no record, no nothing, right? Checks him out.

He's got three records for possession, for sale, for everything. So he looks at me, he goes, bro. And you got to take this, bro, please. I'm going, I'll be going in for like two or three years. I'm going to do some time. That's not my third, fourth offense. I'm on probation and everything. I'm like, what?

You tell me all this stuff down? He's like, bro, just take it. It's nothing. Like, for you, it's nothing. You'll get out. Bond, boom, boom. I'll even get your bond money. I'm like, whatever, man.

It's not whatever. I don't care. I'll help you out. It's not a big deal. I didn't care at that point. My parents got deported everything. Everything's a mess. I don't care.

What's the worst? What's going to happen? Right. You're not realizing what's going to happen as a result of a charge while you're trying to get citizenship. There you go. Very smart. So at that time I go, it's mine. It's my vehicle.

It's my bag. officer looks at me, he knows he wants him because he's seen charges. So you sure it's yours, pulls me over to the side, talks to me, this is all on Google and everything. They got me for possession of trafficking and then like resisting arrest because I didn't want to go in the cop car. I'm claustrophobic.

I'm like, bro, I'm not getting that car. It's too small. So they got me for resisting arrest and all this BS, right? So after that he goes, I'm like, what is it? I'm getting arrested. And he goes, yeah, you are. I mean, it's a serious charge. I'm like, what's serious charge?

I'm looking at my buddy. My buddy's like, well, don't worry. Like, don't worry. It's nothing. You'll be out right away. I'm like, all right, whatever, man. Just call my uncle. Tell him to get me out.

So anyways, he goes straight to my uncle, drives the car, takes me. They take me down there. Fingerprints, first time. Now that leaves. That opens the door to being in trouble now. So fingerprints in the system, they do the everything. They do the fingerprints and all that.

An officer told me, he's like, why would you do that? Why would you do that, man? Like, we know you work at the pizza shop. We've been to the pizza shop. We've got slices from over there. Like, why would you do that for your buddy? I'm like, what are you talking about, man? That's my stuff.

They're trying to give me to say something. That's my stuff, man. You know what I mean? I smoke it once in a while. I never smoked it in my life. I'll be honest with you. That's one thing I never engaged in. I took painkillers whenever, like, I played football and I got hurt.

I got a little bit addicted to it, but not anymore. But just alcohol. Alcohol was my downfall, you know what I mean? And especially my parents being deported, it was like a bottle of day type thing, going to work, I'm back from work. So it was bad, right? And then at first I didn't know why people drank alcohol, but after that, I started to like it.

And then I started to figure it out that I like stuff right away. And it's not good. It's not good if I try stuff because I started to like stuff right away. Just alcohol, I really enjoyed it, especially being, you know, not doing it all throughout high school, never drinking it. And I was like, this makes me like forget about stuff, you know, forget about everything that happened. And I feel the pain go away, right, that I'm going through at the time. So anyways, anybody drives a car to my uncle. My uncle's got to come down to Maricopa to get me out.

He can't give me out because of, well, first of all, he doesn't not speak English that well. So he comes down there with he's got to get the bond money ready and all that. Then the weekend starts. And then because of my ice, every time. So anybody who's in the States that has a criminal record, once you go and you have an ice hold or you're in trouble with immigration, automatically you get ice hole.

It's automatically ice. Ice blocks you. to go into trial, sometimes they'll hold you in there, and then you got to complete, you got to wait for the day of trial. It can be a stupid, it could be a small charge, but it doesn't matter. You're on ice. They put an ice hold. You stay in there.

You finish trial. Ice picks you up. So immigration ruined everything for you to get out, to bond out, to do anything. So they would have let me out. They would have let me out because I got an ice hold. I'm like, why do I got an ice hold? I'm an American citizen. They're like, no, you're not.

Your parents got deported. And you came with them. Like, no, man, I'm an American citizen. He's like, no, you're not. I kept arguing the whole this entire time. They kept laughing at me. They're like, no, you're not, man. Like, you get back out of here.

You're not. So they segregate you. So America Copac County, now that's the first time me going to jail. So there's 10 city, 10 city. At that time, it was getting run by Sheriff Joel Pio. Sheraldiio was the worst sheriff in all of America. He's got charges on him now. and he was a corrupt sheriff.

You're talking about what sheriff makes two, three million dollars. This guy lived in a $3 million home and he's a sheriff. So they finally caught up to him. And if you look him up, he's got a bunch of charges. But this guy has you wearing pink handcuffs, pink underwear, pink, pink thermals, if it's cold, pink everything. He tries to make you like, like you want you to wear pink to degrade you, you know, to make you lower than you. And it gets a hot box outside in 10 city that you go inside this hot box and then the air hits down. So it's even hotter when you get in.

It's already hot as it is in Arizona. But you get inside this hot box and that's punishment. You're allowed to stay there a week maximum. But you get fed through it and it's like a cell, but it's a hot box. So the sun hits it and it's super hot inside. So that's like some severe punishment, which people that were dehydrated, they come. kind of collapse on the floor, majority of them. And the worst part, they don't let you use a bathroom or anything.

So they didn't let me. So if you wanted to do a number one or number two, you got to do it right next to you. You know what I'm saying? It was crazy. It was madness. I'm like, what am I getting myself into? But after 10 City, 10 city was like a campsite. But really it's not.

You think you're camping, but it's jail, right? But everybody's just outside, you know? And then Durango is inside. So after 10 city, me getting involved with some individuals, then I didn't get along with that well because I don't know the politics. Never been to jail before. Don't know the politics. Don't know what's going on.

They take me to Durango. Everybody telling me Durango's even worse. I'm like, Durango's even worse. This place is awful when you need Durango. What is Durango? Another jail or is it an ice facility? No, Durango. So this is jail because I got an ice hole.

I can't even get out. So they're letting me figure out this case. Are you trying to take a trial? You want to take a plea? What do you want to do? About this case? Everybody's telling me they're like, dude, you got an ice hold. You got to fight this case.

You got to beat this charge so you can get the ice hold. Exactly. Or, well, the ice hold, yeah, will be dismissed. And then you got to contact the lawyer to try to figure out another way. Because I'm already on the port of deportation because of my parents. But the only thing that's keeping me at this time over there is we did an adoption where my uncle adopted me. You know what I'm saying? So they thought that.

So it was a quick little move. We paid some money and then my uncle adopted me. So I was adopted to an American citizen. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. So they're trying to figure out that part because they've messed up in the past where they deported people and they messed up. and they brought them back out right away, paid for their ticket and everything, and the person fined immigration, everything for taking me back to my country,

and they got paid millions of dollars for people that were illegally deported when they shouldn't be, right? So they really got to be careful before they deport you, very, very careful. So in my case, they're not trying to do anything. They're trying to wait. They're trying to see what's going on with my immigration, but they don't care. They're waiting for that plea. take the guilty plea now we got something else

your parents were deported and now we got that you were you got a charge now finally in America you see what I'm saying and I go to Durango so I'm just going to give you like parts of like you know some stuff because I see a lot of

jail stuff you know on your on the broadcast of all the people been in jail and everything and then I'll give you a quick little breakdown of how Arizona works out with jail you get in there of course the people take care of you, whoever you are. There's the woods.

What is it? There's the woods, the kinfos. The woods are white, kinfo's black. Paisas are Mexicans born in Mexico. Chicano's are Mexicans born in America. And then the others, which is Cambodians and Jamaicans, others, and whatever you want to call them. You know what I mean? But you go in Jamaican, I'm going to be a kinfo.

Okay. So those are it. So automatically they see me. I walk in. I look white. I'm Albanian. You're white. Whatever.

You're European. So the woods come. And I'm like, all right. The woods come. They're like, what you need, buddy? Same thing, right? What do you want? Do you need anything we're going to make?

He makes the bed for me. Makes, you know, they're making the bed for me and everything. They're giving me some fresh toothpaste, fresh stuff, noodles and crackers. and, you know, all kinds of stuff. They take good care of you when you go inside there, right? They give you a lock to use until you can get one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then the other one gives me a nice little dagger. I'm like, I don't need this. What do I need this for? I'm like, what do I need this for? And he goes, you might need it. I'm like, no, man, I'm a big guy. You got played football? It doesn't matter in there, you know.

And a dagger can do some damage to it. It doesn't matter how big you are. So then he was like, I was like, no, I'm good on that for right now, but I appreciate everything you guys are doing for me. So I guess I'm a wood. Without even knowing about it, I'm a wood. I'm like, this is ridiculous. I didn't even choose to be anything.

Like, I didn't want to be involved, but boom, I'm a wood. So they're like, you got to go meet the chief. I'm like, all right, what the, what is that? He said, the shock collar. I'm like, all right. So I go meet the shot collar. And then some biker guy with a mullet, big mullet, you know, he was buzzed up.

And then he looks at me. He's like, finally he goes, a wood with some size on him. All you woods out here, all you guys look like meth addicts. He's like, finally, we got somebody with some size. And then I was like, all right, whatever. So I guess you're the shock collar. You're supposed to give me something, I'm supposed to tell me some of an apartment. Here's the rules.

We don't engage with the kinfoes. We don't engage with the Pisas. We don't engage with everybody. We stay together. You got a problem with anybody. You got to come to me. and then we discussed it with the other shot callers of the kinfoes and all that. And I was like, okay, all right, no problem.

Shower up, you know, boom, boom, shower up. And then go to go to your room or go to the place that you're situated. I think it was like B4. So I was on B4. But the worst place of the worst thing about the Rango is the cell doesn't close. It's open. So it's just four beds, it's two beds. two two on the side and two on the other side. So four people, but it doesn't close. You don't close. It's open. It's an open facility. It's an open facility. But there's a time after nine o'clock, nobody gets out unless you got to go use the bathroom. You can walk and go use the bathroom if you really need to go, you know? Right. But there's no closing. So I guess their program was one person keeps an eye out and the other person sleeps. So I guess every,

day it changes up because you don't know who's going to come in your room at night and who has a problem with who. Something like this is ridiculous. So I guess one night, no sleep. You sleep during the daytime. So I was like, all right. And they're like, hey, you got to keep a lookout for tonight. I'm like, are you serious, man? So I'm waiting over there and I just wait the whole entire time until everybody wakes up and you just got to keep a lookout for nobody to go in your room. They don't close. That's crazy. That's never seen that before. But they don't close. It's just open facility. Like it's an open. Now, you can't leave. go out to where the, you know, you're just in your bubble, but it's an open facility inside your bubble, right?

Yeah. And we call it an open bay in the, where you've got walls, but there's no door. You got like a half wall. Half wall. Perfect. Exactly what you said. It's half wall. So I'm like, okay, well, I don't know what's going to happen.

So I just keep a lookout. Nothing happens. I get sleep during the daytime. Next day, buddy takes over. Um, Jamaican guy just came there. I guess he was an immigrant. And I got along with everybody. And the name being Armando, it's Mexican.

So it's like everybody thought I was Mexican. So the, they're like, what's your name? I was like, Armando. Hey, Armando, comeostas? But I was like, oh, bro. And oh, man, Albania, Albania. I didn't gave up after that because everybody thought I was Mexican, you know? And then I had like a tan from playing football, but I get really dark, right?

summertime. So I look Mexican. So then they're like, hey, Armando, come to me, I'm saying, all right. So I got along. I always got along with all the Mexicans. Never had a problem with everybody, all the races. I didn't care. I just thought that whoever was nice to me, I was nice to them. That's how I was going to do. Chalk caller gets mad, calls me out, says, yeah, man, interacting with too many people, calm that down a little bit. I'm like, all right. I guess I will. No problem. I mean, I can't talk to nobody. You can talk to somebody in there and that, but not all day.

You're hanging out to Mexicans all day. Like, we don't do that around here. I was all right. So I got to hang out with these guys, but I got no conversation with them. At least with the Mexicans, we could talk about stuff that, you know, like, I got conversation because that's what I hung out with on the outside. You know what I'm saying? Right.

So what's the other, you know, the woods, they were just on meth and they're talking about crazy stuff and, you know, me. Like I told you, I drank after high school. I didn't, I was involved in that stuff. So I don't know. I'm not even engaged in that. I want to talk about sports. I want to talk about, you know, some soccer, whatever.

So anyways, they got a small TV, very small, very, very small TV. And guess what channel they put it on? Take a wild guess. What, the woods? No, no, just like everybody in there. We have a small TV that everybody watches. It's a very, very small TV, like super small. But that's our TV.

And what channel do you think they put it on? What, the Spanish channel? The food channel. Food channel? Okay. They put on the food channel to show you how amazing, delicious dishes that they have on the outside. Right, that you're not eating. That you're not eating.

So Durango was, if you have no money in your confessory, you're dead. You're going to die from starvation. They feed you in the morning, 6 o'clock or something around there. And then they give you peanut butter jelly sandwich, a banana and orange. Most people use that to make a hooch. Yeah, there you go. I guess you know. So then a hooch.

So they make their hooch with that stuff. And then anything sugary or whatever, they get their hooch going on. Can we grab the orange? I'm like, yeah, here, grab the orange, whatever. But that leaves me with nothing. I got bread. bread and some peanut butter. I'm like, when is the next meal? I don't know this stuff. You got to put money in your confissary. You got to put money on this. I'm just figured out later on

the road, but that's not enough food. So then at nighttime, you get slop. Slop is beans and rice that's been like sitting out there. I see the trays. Like I'm looking at the trays. They're outside. It's 120, 110 degrees outside. There's flies. There's bugs. They probably I've done shit on it or whatever they've done. It's disgusting. I'm like, right, it's been outside all day.

You know what I'm looking at these trays all day. And that's what you get at nighttime. I'm like, I've got to live on peanut butter and slop. Like, what do you talk? This has got to not be another meal. So you're really living.

That's what being a nice guy and taking that charge for your buddy did. I'll bet your buddy, once your buddy realized what was happening to you, I'll bet you, he said, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to go. do the right thing and I'm going to take the charge that I should have charged because I didn't

realize how bad it was going to be for this guy. So I'm going to take Armando, the charge Armando took for me. I'm going to do the right thing. Is that what he did? Because he's a good buddy. That buddy I haven't even spoke to after I got the boarded. You're not even not even not even what happened to you, where you at. I actually contacted him and all I said. You didn't put money on your books when you were locked up? What about? What about the money for the bond? But that's it. Yeah.

That's what I was mad about the most. Here's where I got really upset. Didn't even go meet the uncle. He has my car. He's been driving around my vehicle. So I'm like, not even, I call my uncle finally gets worried. They found out I'm in jail. He's trying everything he can to get a lawyer to get me out to get this ice hold out.

I said that, did my buddy come? Do my buddy Josh show up? You said, what? Nobody showed up to the pizza shop. I had to call everybody, the lawyers. And then finally, your lawyer told me that you were in Maricopa, like you were down here in Durango. I was like, he didn't come. He didn't come. He didn't come.

He said, no, where's the car? They had a Lincoln Navigator. Give him to my dad. My dad got the porter. It says Lincoln Navigator. The guy's been driving around doing who knows what. And that's what I get for trying to help the guy out. But I finally contacted him years later.

I just said, thanks for that charge, bud. And he's just like, we were young and dumb, bro. Sorry. That's it. So, anyways, that's what I got to live off. I got to live off slop and peanut butter and jelly. So we're fighting for bread. Basically, bread's keeping you alive.

Bread. That's it, bread. You got to get as much bread as you can, as much carbs as you can in your body. So as I'm going to court, now they chain you up, boom, boom. get everything chained up and then take you to the courthouse. This is where I realized if I don't get out of here, I'm going to have some problems because either I'm going to die from starvation

or something's going to happen because I ran into a fellow, Francisco. I haven't seen Francisco in years. And I said, and he was going to the same thing because he's Mexican. He's got an ice hold and he's going to get deported to Mexico. So I finally. I'm looking at him. He's like skinny.

Francisco is 400 pounds. Okay. So I'm talking about this is why Durango County, that's why Sheriff Joe Pio is a straight up scumbag. And I hope he hears it. Straight up scumback for everything he's done to everybody in that county. He's destroyed us mentally. And he's just a rotten and he deserves what he got.

But he still didn't get nothing. Like it just, what? You know, he's in, he lived his whole life. He enjoyed it with all. the money he made. They didn't give me any punishment, but it's a straight scumbag. Everybody in that county wanted a hands on Sheriff Joel Pio. He came there to visit a couple times. They had to put everybody on lockdown because everybody wanted to put a hand on him. They hated the guy with a passion. So I see Francisco, and I didn't look like Francisco at first, but then I can remember by his

face. And then he has a scar and a scar right here from back in the day. And I'm like, Francisco and he's like Armanda what the fuck he's like what are you doing here man you'll be the last person I thought would be in here and what happened I took a cop that charge with Josh and uh whatever man he's like oh my gosh he's still hanging out that guy da da da and then we just i was like bro what happened to you and he goes what do you mean what happened to me look and i'm like dude the guy is 180 pounds from 400 to 180 pounds Nobody put no money on his books, two years being locked up in the hole, living out peanut butter jelly sandwiches and slop every day.

That's a lot of weight you're going to lose. So the guy literally grabbed his skin and peeled it. Like you would peel it and say, look, look at this. Or just take like literally his man booze and peel them out. Like his whole body was just like stretching. It was just like a stretch man. Like, this is crazy. I'm like, was like, this is, oh, bro. I was like, put your shirt back on.

Like, what, what happened? He goes, nothing, bro. Just no food, no nothing. I lost all my weight, 180 pounds, but I didn't lose it healthy. I lost it by almost dying. I went to the hospital a few times. I'm like, bro. So anyways, I had my uncle put money on my books and I made sure I got his number to put some

money on his books, but I could least $500 on his books. Later on, he sent me a letter like, by the by people because he got sent somewhere else. Yeah, bro, I love you. Thank you very much. You didn't have to do that. I was like, bro, eat something. He has no family.

All of his families in Mexico. We had nobody to put nothing into me. I mean, nobody knew he was locked up. So anyways, I hope to help them out, Francisco. I hope that did something for you. But anyways, after that, go to court. I see my uncle there. Uncle's like trying to get you out.

I see the lawyer. Lawyers trying to give me out. They're like, you got an ice hold. Just take the guilty plea. I'm like, guilty plea. I mean, what's it? What is it? What's it guilty? What does that do?

What does that do for me? And then it goes, nothing. You're just gonna be on probation. Who the fuck told you that? The lawyer at the time, I had a criminal lawyer and I had an, and I had the immigration lawyer. The immigration lawyer said, it might, in mine and I do nothing.

Like, the criminal charges are not like two years or three years, It's not like a severe case. So it might not affect immigration. And I'm like, will it affect immigration or might not? Anyways, I said, let me think about it. I'm not ready yet to sign. I don't know. So I said, Your Honor, I'm not ready to take a plea.

And it's just that it was a year probation. Your probation, unsupervised. But it's a felony. But it's a felony. Class sticks. But they said that if you do everything correct, we'll get it down to a misdemeanor. You know what I'm saying?

If you do all your charges and everything. But it's bad. At the end, they see it as a class six felony. Yeah, I'll take a misdemeanor now. I wish. So if it was a misdemeanor, that would help the case. But they didn't tell me anything. They just said, listen, it's a class six felon.

I was like, all right, whatever. So class six felony, and I see all the charges. And he's like, but you're a transport, it'll just be possession. You'll catch possession of them. And that's it. And then like everything else would like the, like the transport and all the other stuff, they're all be gone, right?

But it's still a charge. You're taking the charge. At that time, anything hurt you with immigration. And anything will help you with, will hurt you with immigration now. So if anybody in the States has a charge and they're telling you this charge is not going to come up, it will. ICE keeps track of everything. So you're done regardless. You know, you better catch a lawyer and try to get it fully dismissed to not hurt your immigration case.

But whatever. At that point, I went back. And I should have kept, I should have stayed, I should have stayed and went to trial. I could have, I could have beat it. There was ways to beating it. You know what I'm saying? But after what I sound like I'm telling you, my story is ridiculous, but I'm going to get to the main point, stuff that really, that I remember that really hurt me inside or that I remember until today that really dramatically changed me. You know what I'm saying?

So I go back to the, the Rangel County. go back to the normal program. And this is what changed everything. So two weeks later, they're like, you want to take this charge, you want to take the guilty plea, take the guilty plea. No, I'm not ready yet. Let me just stay here. So now I'm like three, four months in.

And then somebody comes in. He was a Paisa. A Pisa comes inside, which is a Mexican born in Mexico. He comes in and he's got some charges, but nobody knows what the charges are. And he doesn't have paperwork for some reason. So everybody's like, okay, well, who's the new guy? He needs like, is he a cop? Is he a, and you're trying to get?

Because there's some serious guys in there. I'm talking about people working for Al Chapo. There were some serious, they're getting deported. You know, there were guys in there waiting for ice. Most of them were ice on hold. There are some guys in there. They didn't care. Like, oh, we're going to do 11 months and get deported back to Mexico.

and come back the next day. You know what I'm saying? And then they're like, we're going to just take one of the tunnels and come back the next day. So there's some serious dudes working for some serious guys out there. And then,

which they won't tell you anything about nothing, about who the bosses, who nothing, they know, they'll tell you, they'll give you an idea. Like,

and then once you see their paperwork, you'll understand. So everybody's got a given paperwork, of course, right? And then this guy didn't want to. Kept Elaine and kept delaying, kept delaying his paperwork. So this stood out to me.

I still remember till today. The guy comes in. He's, you know, bigger fella, but just very creepy. Always kept it to himself. Always stood to the corner. Never talked too much? And then anyways, now it's been over two weeks or something. They're like in the woods.

So at that time, I got a couple of fights in the bathroom because I would go and collect for the shot collar. I'm saying. So the guy with the mold it. So he'd be like, yo, go check on my snickers or go check home my jolly ranchers or whatever, bag of chips. Has that guy got my four items? We just call him items.

Has the guy got my four items? I'd go over there and I became a torpedo. Torpedo is a guy who goes for the shot collar who becomes like his messenger. You know what I'm saying? Right. And I would go in there and be like, yo, you owe my shot caller? I don't know this stuff, but I'm mad at that. it is in society. A couple of fights in the bathroom would take my anger away.

You know what I mean? So why not? So then I'll go there and be like, hey, you got the four items. Tell you shot collar, I don't got it. All right. A shot caller. Shot collar. He doesn't got your four items. Take him to the bathroom. No problem. You need somebody to come with you. I'm looking at the guys. They're all meth heads. A buck 10, a buck 10, 90 pounds. I was like, no, bro, I'm good. I tell the guy, yo, come see me. He goes in there. Boom, boom, boom, boom. boom, boom, we duke it down. That's it. We go back.

And then, so after that, after doing some stuff for him, he made it my living situation there a lot easier. But it's still, shit. I mean, you're in jail. So the food was ridiculous, but I got a little bit more meals. And then now food's coming in.

And I got some money on my books and whatever. Now we're going to go to this guy. This would change everything to the point that I made, I made a big mistake. So, individual comes paperwork comes in and the pices look at it and they let all the shot callers know so I'm close to the shot caller I let them know I said bro why like why is everybody freaking out like what's going on here like everybody is tensed up what's going on here

hey Zach won't don't tell anybody else like don't let these other people know but that guy that just came in you right now They found some serious paperwork on him. That's not good. I said, what do you mean? What's not good? Like, what did you do wrong? Like, what do you mean?

Well, he's a coyote. And he was to bring people across the border, right? So they would give him payment. Even if they didn't have payment, he would say grape, grape. So he would like grape. Yeah. The kids, you know, the mother. anybody. Doesn't matter if they have paperwork or not. So the father would be waiting in Phoenix.

He would just do what he does to them. Let him get in the car and go. And that's what he was there for for like 20 or 30 families or something like that that he would bring across. But then all the other essay stuff that he did and then the great after the offense, they got it all on record. That's what he was there for. So they start something like 60 or 70% of all the women that are that come through the coyotes are assaulted. Assaulted severely, you know, and then that's what's going on in the border. So and then sometimes you go under the tunnel and they just take care of it under the tunnel because there's tunnels. And then you can go right through it.

And then once I'll chat, I think Alcapul got caught or somebody got caught, but like 100. 120 tunnels got figured out where they were. And then they collapsed them and the government took care of it. But just imagine all these tunnels that were underneath the border. It was ridiculous. And I guess it would only cost all this I found out when I go to ice now. You know what I mean? So I'm been Durango still, okay?

So I'm in Durango. The guy comes up there. They find out these charges. He's got to go within 24 hours. That's the law. That's the rule. So they got 25. hours to do it, the Pisces, or somebody else has to do it.

We were all willing to do it. You know what I'm saying? At that point. But we can't. It's their people. The Pisces said, listen, man, we'll take care of it. This is not, you know, we know these individuals, these are these are, and we don't tolerate these individuals.

We'll take care of it. Anyways, that night, yeah, it was my night. I kept my eyes open because I'm supposed to protect the door. You know what I'm saying? Um, all I see is two blankets, two men with blankets on them. And so they put the blanket for the camera, you know what I'm saying? So they're walking past like the cells and they walk right past me. I was like, looking by, I'm like, all right, well, they didn't come in here.

We're good. So they're going straight down to button, of course, right? Yeah. And then they had some socks or pillow, like a blanket or what? whatever. And then they just came with blankets all the way down. And then like, they put it, I guess what the people saying, like they stuffed his mouth with the blanket and everything. And then just start getting to work, just nonstop. This is serious. This is a serious place. This ain't no joke around here. Especially with the Mexicans. They're

not playing around. Okay. So you know what? Me at the time, I was thinking, well, let me just take this guilty plea. which I ended up doing. I was like, you know what? I cannot stay. It's like, how long is this going to take? They said it might take a year. Other buddy over there got caught with like, I think 10 pounds of me.

He's like, I've been here 18 months trying to fight my case. And I'm like 18 months being in here. Listen, I'm going to end up dying or I'm going to end up killing somebody. And I'm going to get more charges. Right. I forget this man. I'm like, me being a torpedo now. now I got to like, who knows, a wood comes in there and a wood has, you know,

some kind of problems like that with what we talked about, then I got to do it. You know what I'm saying? It doesn't, man. You got to do it. If you don't do it, they do it to you. So somebody's got to do it. So I'm like, that's just got to lead to those guys who did it. They all caught more charges.

They were in there for now they're trying down. They're looking at life. I'm like, what is going on here? Call the lawyer. Anyways, call the lawyer. I'll take that guilty plea. just give it to me probation i care less boom they release me okay um i caught the charge signed the paperwork let's go for some reason ice doesn't pick me up they're trying to figure out still if

if i'm adopted or not or what's going on with that case they're trying to make it happen so they let you go i walked outside and they were there got inside my uncle's vehicle took off Are you waiting the whole time? Like, they should be here to grab me. Because I know guys, like, literally they get bonded out. They're walking out the door. Two agents walk up and grab them. Just boom.

Hey, put the cuffs on them, walk them. I'm going to get to that because that's what happened. Now, that's how I'm good. I get out. Everything's great. No problem. Go to my uncle's shop. We eat some food.

He makes me pizza and stuff. I'm starving. I'm hungry. I'm having fun. Blah, blah, blah. Now finally decision gets, I didn't know this, but now finally decision is that the adoption happened over the age of 18. It does not, you have to be under the age of 18. At this point, he doesn't qualify and he has to get to port.

You know what I'm saying? So now I got a deportation on my record, like guaranteed now. Now I can't do nothing about it. So, but they were there. They were there watching me, just smirk and laughing. and then I'm driving away. So now I got this deportation order. I don't know nothing about it.

I'm feeling like celebrating. This is like a week after. I feel like celebrating. Let's go downtown, have a few bottles, whatnot. So we go there, get some of the guys from the football team. We order a few bottles. We drink, party, have fun. Some guy comes, he's intoxicated, smacks,

the woman that I'm with her ass. So I'm defensive on stuff like this. I don't like guys picking on women at nightclubs and like hollering. I've never been the type of. She says no, no, let her go. What's the point of keeping it up, you know? And then calling her names afterwards after she denies you. I'm like, bro, leave her alone, man.

Anyways, this guy wouldn't leave her alone. And I wish I could get that video. Probably can. But the video was crazy because even the officers didn't believe it, that what happened afterwards. So anyways, you kept picking on her, pick it on her. Afterwards, he got aggressive and pulled on her hair, pulled on her hair, and like, come here, like, you know who I am type of thing. And then I push him inside the night and I'm like, oh, get that, get off for it. I who you think you are, man? And he's like,

oh, you want to be like this and that? I said, I'm there. So, you know, I'm there with my Mexican buddies. They got involved. They like, yo, you don't know nothing about us. It was all this thing, bobbing back and forth. This guy leaves. I'm thinking he's gone. He's waiting in the back alley. So in Old Town Scottsdale, old town Scottsill, big now. After I live, back in the day, it was just normal. I guess celebrities go there now and it's like a big thing in Arizona, old town, so, but back in the day, old town was just, it wasn't that bump. And they had old town and they had the Newtown. So now they got like Newtown Scottsdale. It's a whole new set up. But I haven't been back there, but everybody's telling me it's beautiful and it's nice and it's

grown. So anyways, he's waiting for me in the alleyway, okay? So I'm leaving. Same girl. Seen him in the alleyway. I said, take taxi, get out of here. She's like, what? I was like, those guys. She's like, come with me. I was like, no, just leave. Like, I'm not going to come with you. And then so the guys I'm with, I'm like, bro, let's take care of these guys.

So who do they think the army? What's going on here? Anyways, I wish I had the video. And if I really want to get involved, I could probably try to get this video. But first time ever, I kicked the guy. I never knew I could do that. Being a big fella as I am, there was. Three of them, I took a nice solid kick. I thought I was a UFC fighter at that point, man.

I took a nice, solid kick, and it landed perfectly flat right to his face, and he just went face first to the ground. And after the guy's seen that kick, I'm like, what? And then my guys were looking at him, it was like, yeah, what's up? You guys wanted it? They saw their main guy go down, and it was a kick. So I'm a big guy at the time. So they're like, how this big guy kicked this high?

So he must be a trained fighter. So they left. They're like, and they grabbed their buddy to try to leave. The guy wouldn't get up. So the ambulance came. That's how bad the kick was. I don't know if kick can hurt somebody that bad. So the ambulance came.

They have it on video. They have it on Old Town Scottsdale video, that kick. I'm trying to, I wish I can get that video. I know one of the officers, we played basketball together, community center. So I was like, can he give me that video? But he hasn't reached out to me. But it just said he was even surprised. He goes, you kicked him?

He's like, how'd you, how'd you get? And even the lady, they're laughing at the point. I'm in the back of the police car. Like, how'd you get you laid that high? They're like, you're a big dude. And I'm like, I don't know. Just I did a little Taekwondo back in the day. And anyways, they know self-defense.

You know what I'm saying? So they kind of, but anyways, the guy was in a stretcher. And I don't know what happened. I was like, if he dies, then that's some serious charges. Like, what's going on? But anyways, I guess he woke up and he wasn't that hurt. and he didn't want to be taking it down to the hospital. He didn't want to press no charges, but that's still an assault, right?

So they want to try to give me for this assault. So instead of give me like a promise to appear, like, we'll let you go now. You can appear on your own, you know? They decided to take me down, hold me down there. And then I sold. Guess who comes sees me. Guess who's there.

So then I'm in jail. and they're like, we're going to release you on this paperwork for you to leave, just a promise to appear, make sure you show up on this day. I'll say, all right, no problem. Call my uncle from the phones there. I knew the phone to his, I don't know anybody's phone, but I know the phone to the pizza shop. I called the pizza shop. I said, don't worry about no bond money or nothing.

They're releasing me. And my uncle goes, okay, no problem. And then soon as I walk outside, handcuffed. I look back Ice What? I was like What do you guys want?

What are like, what are you doing? They said I got released. Yeah, from here, not from mine. So then that's what starts everything. So then I'm like, okay. I'm like, so where are we going? So we're going down to a processing room down Phoenix. Same place your parents went to.

And then we're going to figure out a place for you to go. like all right so anyways it went from trying to defend a woman to about to be deported so now i get picked up get sent and then my parents at this time is like oh he's going to a camp so mom's like he's going to a camp so the camp that they were at you can i guess they have like mountain dew in a fountain of drinks they got a soccer field they got it's like low low it's like a it's a holding facility. It's not even a, it's a holding facility, right? So they got basketball, soccer. My mom's like, oh, he's good. He's good. He's going to play some football, some basketball. They weren't worried about me, right? No, it's different. It took me to Pineal County Jail. So I didn't even go to Florence or

Eloy. They said this guy's high risk and then some other like minor stuff that I got. And then they got me for theft, which was like a robbery, but it's nothing special for me to get involved. But it went down from robbery to theft. And anyway, so a couple of problems, like I said, after the parents got deported, I went kind of crazy. The drinking, doing stupid, making them mistakes, you know what I'm saying? I'm telling you the stuff that really stood out because the theft wasn't really a, up another, what, 30, 40 minutes that we could talk about it, but it wasn't a big one, right?

Just a house and whatever whatnot. I was the driver, and then that's it. And then, so that one went down to theft. So they checked the record. They see all these charges, and they're like, no, no, no. this guy, he might escape, he might run away. Let's take him to Pineau County. So for my fellow friends out there, if you have a record and ICE picks you up,

you are not going to go to the detention center. If you are a high risk, they will take you to a higher facility, you know, Pinell County, or they might take it to the prison. They might hold you at Kingston. It might hold you somewhere wherever they want to hold you at. You know what I mean? That there's more cops. There's more, or there's more guards.

There's just more COs. So I go, okay, I'm going to the detention center, I said, in Florence or Eloy, because that's where everybody wanted to go. You know, all the Mexicans that I was there with, there was literally, there's all Mexican, some El Salvadorians, Colombian, I think two Romanian, Albanian, and there's one Albanian guy, so just being him. And a couple Europeans, not so much, but majority all Mexican, right? Right. So there's some like Jamaicans as well and stuff like that, but not a lot of them. And Cambodian. The one Cambodian guy almost killed me. So that's what happened inside there. But anyways, we'll get to that. So I go to Pineau County. Pineau County facility, 23 hours in, one hour out. So that's what I'm like, this ain't no detention center. What are you talking about? I'm like, I'm stuck in this. I'm stuck in this.

box for 23 hours a day, I'm going crazy. This is my first time ever doing stuff like this, being 23 hours in, one hour out. I'm like, what are you talking about? 20, 20, I don't believe at first. I'm like, you're really going to let me sit here for 23 hours? And then one hour for what? You can go stand in line to use the shower or you can stand in line to use the phone, but you can't do both. That's it. And you can't even do both. I'm like, you are not going to let me sit here for 23 hours. That's not humane. That's a joke. That's not. I didn't believe it. They're doing this just for a day or two days or something. I'm thinking that's what's going on here because that's crazy to keep somebody locked in for 23 hours.

I'm like, what? And I'm a guy who needs to do something, like move around, like be active, do something, you know? And reading books is not my forte, so I really can't read a book. you know but i started reading i had no choice and then you know start doing some pushups and stuff like that but they kept me in there for that 23 hours because they had me at higher like level four level five is like crazy like they did murder stuff level four and then you go down to three two and then it's more lenient but at first they kept me in there for about a month so this whole time they're getting ready for my plane they're getting tickets right for my plane to go back to Albania.

I didn't know that. I thought that my lawyer is fighting on the outside and stuff's happening on the outside. But it's not. They're getting ready for my plane to arrive. So I'm in their 23 hours in, one hour out. That happened for a whole month. Then I'm like, then I caught on.

Once a week past, I'm like, these guys are serious. They're literally keeping in people. And then I hear stories of like Michael Fransies or like Sammy or these other guys who did like, What? Or even you, I think you did what? Like in the old thing, like 23 hour. I think you said a couple months in there. Yeah, like 45 days, I think was the longest one. Right. I'm saying. Like I was like, what? Like, so then guys, it's been the years and years. I'm like 23 hours in. So like. That's, I was in the shoe that long. But in like a holdover, what you were in basically like a holder was 23 and one. Yeah. You get out once a week. Because you. You, you're in the shoe. You get out once a week. Because you. you have a shower and a toilet and everything in the shoe you don't get out at all i well where i was we got out once a week but um wow in the holdover i think in the holdover maybe i've done i've done a couple months in the holdover where it was you get out once a day for one hour and you didn't

have time i mean you could use the you could shower and take and use the phone but you just didn't have time to do it so it's like you had to choose i'm either going to stay in the line for the shower by the time I'm done with the shower, by getting the line for the phone, there's not enough time. 15, 20 minutes. The guys like, hurry up. You can't do both.

It's impossible. You can't. Even if you tried, what I tried, you get a minute on the phone, not even that. You can't, what are you going to talk for about a minute?

So anyways, I was like, this is crazy, man. But anyways, I went through it. I started doing some reading and trying to pass my time and counting,

not how many dots were on the wall and some guy made a portrait of like some El Salvadorian like he colored it on the wall so I'm trying to figure out why he made this and what the individual thought and I'm trying to do anything to cover my time I'm thinking of all like just I'm taking pieces of paper

literally to take a piece of paper and like just tossing it in the toilet just like tossing it in the toilet just pieces of paper And like sometimes I'll just like think about like everybody I've hurt in my life or or stuff that I've done wrong in my life. I'm like just taking toilet paper throw. I was losing my mind. There's nothing to do. There's nothing to do in there.

So now here's what happens. So now the guy goes, you're going to see a deportation officer. I get, okay. Deportation officer. All right. I look at the name. I said, it was a normal name. But then at the end it was like,

like not Kung Fu but like Ku Yan Zhu something okay I'm like okay whatever the guy must be Vietnamese Chinese whatever

okay it's gonna get to the part that he angers me so then I go in there he's provoking me so I go in there I'm meeting the guy and he goes okay so you're going to let me see here check on the paperwork

and everything he's all looking I look at check paperwork. Okay, you're going to. Oh, Albania. I'm like, yeah, Albania. He goes, Albania is a beautiful country. They had nice, you know, nice scenery, beautiful place. And now it's like open to Europe. You can go to Europe now. And like, um, who out there's amazing. I've been to Albania. I've traveled over there. I was like, you're not, you know, I mean, it's not going to be a bad time in Albania. You're going to have a great time. Like, what do you mean? I'm trying to stay in America, I told him.

I'm not trying to go to Albania. What are you talking about? And he's looking at me, goes, I don't know about this America situation. But like, you know, but Albania is not a bad country. You're like, you're really going to like it when you get there. And this guy just really just spark me up. I said, you're from where, China? And he goes, yeah, I'm Chinese.

I was like, why don't you go back to China? I said the place. It's beautiful. It's beautiful in China. Exactly the word that said it's on paperwork and everything because afterwards it went bad. I was like, why don't you go back to China? I mean, doesn't America owe China like billions of dollars? You guys are a rich country.

It's a beautiful country. Nice over there too, right? I stay in America and become a deportation officer. What's the point? He goes, I'm in this seat. You're in that seat. You have problems. I don't.

I got my citizenship and you have been denied. So there's a difference between me and you. I can go, but I can come back. You can't. And I'm like, what are you trying to get that from, man? I'm like, I don't give a damn about you thinking my country is good. I don't know my country. I came to when I was five years old.

So I don't know nothing about Albania. And I'm like, why are you talking like that? Why are you provoking me? And he goes, no, no, I'm just saying it's a beautiful country. Go back. I say, well, go back to fucking China then, if that's what the case is. It says it's a beautiful damn country. And I spit in the paperwork.

I crumbled it up and I threw right his face. And I'm like, I'm not signing this shit. Let's fuck out of here. And he goes, oh, okay. And then officers come, boom. I'm thinking I'm going, because they're telling me you're going down to a lower level. I'm back at this 23 and one inside there. I'm like, oh, my God, for another month.

So just because of that, just because I threw the paper out of space. So after that, I got a new deportation officer. I told him I'm not going to deal with this guy. This Kong, Kfu, June, boom. I'm not dealing with. them anymore, you know, nothing against the Chinese people. I love them, but that guy was just an asshole. I can't stand them.

I'm like, why would you stay that? You know? Like, I'm trying to, like, fight my way to stay in the country and then you're trying to provoke me and tell me how beautiful my country is. I don't know what I said about my country? So the guy, anyways, now I go down, I stay in there. I'm waiting for my, um, that got picked up around, oh, not October, so November, December, January.

So January around my dad's birthday, my dad's birthday January 4th. So I get to port around January 5th. Okay, and this was 2012. Because 2014, I made my way back to Canada. So only two years. But anyways, 2012, they take me over there. They lowered me down to a lower level. And then there was a...

I don't understand how did you go to... from how'd you go to Canada when they were going to send you to Albania? That's what I'm going to get out with the passport. You know what I'm saying? Like I got sent. Yeah, I got sent. I got sent back. I got sent back.

Like there's no way. But I'm going to tell you this. He said it and he was serious. And I'm telling you that right now, there's some, they're crump. They're messed up over there. He literally told me if you don't like Albania, you can pick any other country you want. we could take you there. I was like, are you serious?

He's some dead serious. You like Cambodia. You like France. You like, we'll deport you anywhere. You just can't stay in this country. You're serious. He said, you can go to Mexico if you want, which I should have taken that.

I could have came back with all the friends I had. But he was serious. He's like, pick a country. We'll deport you. You just can't stay here. I was like, this must be a joke. He's like, no, I'm not joking. We'll deport you anywhere.

Just can't stay in America. I was like, oh my gosh. So the whole time they're waiting for my Albania passport, which I left when I was a kid. So good luck finding that. So I'm trying to tell people like, if they can't find your Albanian passport or if they can't get your passport, they have to let you go.

You can only stay in this holding facility and immigration for so long. Then they got to release you. There's a time frame if it's a year or if it's two years or something. How I know is because they lowered me down to a lower level. and that's why this person played a good role in my life because he helped me out with a lot with immigration. I called him Uncle Gratchy. Uncle Gratchy, he's a guy who he's like,

you remind me of my son. Like, come over here. So he took care of me while I was in there the whole entire time. So Uncle Gratchy, if you see this, please reach out to me because I lost his contact and all his information, but he said he's going to reach me out on Facebook, but his country wouldn't take him back. He had these two stars here and like this general thing,

And I go, what are all the tattoos for? He goes, you're too young. He goes, once you go outside, you'll figure out who I really am. But I guess there's some mafia Russian shit. So he was really serious about the Russian mob. He was crazy, this guy. He took a liking to me. He said, you remind me of my son.

Stay here. There's a lot of problems. I don't want you to get in trouble. I said, okay, no problem. I let him talk to my uncle on my phone. My uncle's talking to him. My uncle's like, when the heck did we have a Russian in our family? And like, there he's laughing.

And he goes, don't worry. Your nephew is good in here. Your nephew is fine. We're going to help him out. We're going to take care of him. So Uncle Gratchy, you know, he played a good role with a Cambodian guy. I beat him a quick, quick little story. I beat him in a game of basketball.

And because over there, you have a basketball court that you play for a little bit. Now I'm in, like, a lower level. So Pineal County, they have a basketball court. And we played pickup games. And I beat them, but I was getting a little too rowdy. I was like, oh, look, I beat you, I beat you. I beat you. And he didn't like that.

and then I was like provoking him in front of his friends and this guy just got done doing 15 years and they're trying to deport it back to Cambodia. You don't give it to him. So he's on a different aisle than I am. Me, a couple months here and there, this guy's 15 years in, you know, already has the shank ready,

already has everything ready to go for anybody to mess around. I thought it was like deportation, nothing's going to happen. But literally right after the basketball game, Word got around. Uncle Gratchy heard about it that he was going to step in the shower. And I was like, okay, much I didn't know. So I go in the shower. I see him two Cambodian buddies. Uncle Gratchie came in there, blocked away.

He said, you got to go through me to get to him. Uncle Gratchy said, man, we respect you. Get out of the way. The guy's a disrespectful piece of shit. He's all there yelling at my face and this and that. We're not going to let that happen. You know how it works. He goes, listen.

He doesn't know nothing. He doesn't know this and that. let him go. So because of him, they held back. But I'm not supposed to see him, not supposed to contact him with eyes. And I got mad. I was like, why don't we fight one-on-one? And I said, what's up with this shanking? And I'm like, oh, there's no rules in jail. What are you talking about, man? So I'm at the time, I'm thinking one-on-one, like fights in jail. They're all rules in jail. It was shanking. You're a bigger guy than me. I'm not going to go one-on-one with you. I'll make it even. I'll bring a huge dagger size of your face, and that's one-on-one. So, I'm like, I was like, Uncle Gratchy, was this guy serious? Let's just said you would have been a dead man. He said, I was like, okay, never mind.

So then just me, Uncle Gratcher, you're in there. And then I remember when, I guess, so now, if you go to ICE facility, if they can't get your passport or if your embassy does not approve for you to go back, they have to release you. That's another thing for some people to keep an eye up. Or if they lose your paperwork. And if you have connections back home in your country, there's ways that your paperwork go missing. You know what I'm saying?

So anyways, but they came to Uncle Gratchy and he goes, I've been here two years. What's going on, man? So he's been there for like two years waiting, you know? And then they finally told him they're like, Russia does not want you back. Nobody wants you back. He laughs. He goes, ha, ha, ha, ha, I know, I know. Fuck Russia.

He's like, what about you guys? You want me back? We don't want you back. What are you going to let me stay here? And so then he was going to get released, though. He was going to get released back to California. After doing 10 years, he did something over there. I didn't get involved too much.

But he said he was going to reach out on Facebook when he gets out. So I know he got out. Then I'm missing El Salvadorian guys. And the guy's like, I'm going to die when I go back home. I got tattoos all over my face. I got gang tattoos. I'm going to El Salvador. I'm dying.

And then the officer's like, that's not my problem. like you're going to die when you go back to al-travador straight to that fucking that fucking supermax 100,000 man supermax that they built yeah he's like that's like that's what i'm going there i'm dying like you're like you guys are taking me to a deathbed and he's like well you shouldn't have done the problems you did you came to america which you know they're right in some way you come to america find you know work hard and do a good living and that's it you know my situation i came when i was young five years old and i had fraudulent documents you know, because the marriage wouldn't have stopped me. None of that stuff would have really stopped me. They would have caused problems, but it was all the fraudulent documents they were worried about. That's why they gave me a 10-year ban. So they gave me a 10-year ban from the States.

So when they're about to deport you, they give you a ban. Keep that paperwork. That paperwork's important for when you're trying to come back. You know, you need that paperwork. You lose that paperwork. It's going to take six months for you to get it. Without that paperwork, they're not going to let you back because they'll lose your records after 10 years.

But it says they're, 10 years, 20 years. And then it says life. So now Salvadorian had life. Life he can never come back. So anyways, he was like, I'm a dead man. I'm going back there. I'm dead. That's how it is.

So he has all these tattoos. Like, I'm done. And then he said he was going to add me on Facebook. He never added me on Facebook. So I figured out. He's got bigger problems, bro. Yeah, I know. I know what happened.

He's done. Yeah. He told him. He's like, if I don't add you on Facebook, because he had all my information. He's like, I'll add you if I get out. But if I don't, you know what happened. So he's gone for sure. But he was a good guy, man. He was a really nice guy. I don't know, majority of these people are nice when they're inside. You know, like they're really just like, how did they get inside? Like, you know, he's really nice people. Why would you put yourself in the situation? But anyways, the ice facility, they don't care, man. They want to grab as many people in the porch as fast as they can. That's their mission, you know?

So now, whatever. We're getting down to it. It's getting ready for deportation time. They got my ticket. They got the plane. They got everything ready to go. I didn't know. They're playing tricks with me.

They said you're going to get released. Something happened with your lawyer. Your lawyer came through and you're about to get released. I'm happy. Call my uncle. Call everybody. My uncle is coming to the cells to pick me up. So they're telling me that I'm about to get released.

And then I guess my lawyer had paid some money to, or my uncle I paid some money to my lawyer. So there's another $10,000 to go to waste. He's saying if you pay the $10,000, I could probably get them out. They had the ticket ready. They had everything ready just to get me out of there. Now, here's kind of a funny, it's a funny situation, but whatever. It's not funny at the port.

But you go to this one side. This one side is to the buses. You go on the buses to go to Mexico. Then the left side is for all the Europeans, getting ready to take flight to go to Europe. You know what I'm saying? My name being Armando, they thought I was Mexican.

So I don't know what I'm doing. I'm thinking this bus is taking me to downtown Phoenix. You know what I'm saying? Or they're taking me down to ICE facility and I'm going to get released at the detention center, right? Downtown. So I'm on the bus, and everybody's like looking at names,

looking at names, He's like, hey, come Te yamas and this and that. And I go, no Ible Spanish. I don't know nothing. And he goes, Armando? And he goes, yeah, because

they had another Armando. So they're ready to start the bus to deport me to Mexico. So I'm like, where are you guys going? And he goes, Mexico, Mexico. We're going to Mexico. I'm like, Mexico.

I'm like, what? So that was the whole confusion. The bus started. They go they're literally driving and they they return the bus around to get me out of there and he said you're not you're not Mexican get your ass over here with the European so I'm like where was I going he goes to Nagales no Gales and go to Mexico I was like no I don't want to go to Mexico take in Albania and then anyways at that time like I said they still didn't know Where are they going to happen?

Like, am I going to get released or not released? Because of my lawyer, he's making a big mess of things, right? He's making a big mess that he's going to be released or not. So I'm talking to the other guys. The other guys are like, no, this is it. Like, you're going to get, like, the plane's going to be here. You're going to go back. It's done.

It's finished. And he goes, I go, no, my lawyer says that I'm going to be released. Anyways, wake up in the morning. I'm getting, I'm getting driven somewhere. And I'm like, this looks familiar. I was like, Tempe, Arizona. Yeah, this is the college, university. Sky Harbor

Sky Harbor Airport What? Sky Harbor What airport? What are I doing at the airport? And the guys are you going home, bud? I'm like, what? So I got two marshals or whatever they call themselves, like the guys who like try to look, so they bring two people

with you, they have guns, you know, they handcuff your or they handcuff your arms, they shackle you, and they're like, let's not shackle them. It looks kind of bad because we're in a public airport now. And then the other officer, I was like, man, look for all.

I'm like, I got handcuffs. I got little kids looking at me. And the other kids like, mommy, mommy, what did this guy do? You know what I'm saying? And I'm like, come on, man. This looks kind of, it's a little bit of embarrassing. Like, who cares? Not like I'm going to see these people anyways anymore.

You know, but he felt kind of like sympathy. So he took off his jacket and he put it over my handcuffs. Like I'm carrying my jacket. You know what I'm saying? Right. So I got on the. plane, boom, right back. That time I call my uncle. Do they go with you on the plane? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. They hop right on the plane with you all the way in the back of the plane,

shackled up, and you sit in your seat. The ones over here on the left, on the left-hand side, the other one's right next to you, and you're just shackled up. You're literally like this for the whole Albania's far. So 18 hours, 18 hours, 20 hours. Yeah, it's what 18 hours and I'll be yeah, about 18 hours. So I'm shackled up for 18 hours, how to use the bathroom shackled up, everything. And they got guns that's trapped up until they take you to Europe. But anyways, I called my uncle. My uncle was upset and I didn't know why he was upset, but now I figured it out.

I called him and he goes, I'm here waiting for you at the jail. Like, where are you? And then I was like, and I knew it was going to hurt him inside because he loved me. As a nephew, he loved him. He'll die for me. You know what I mean? but I told them I was like I'm about to take flight he's like take flight where

I'm going home he's like no man don't tell me that no man don't tell me that and then he just like hung up the phone but I know he lost his mind after that so then after that he knew he was I'm going back Talbania so anyways I couldn't fight it I try to fight it not to get on the plane they say if you don't get on the plane you're looking at a five years

for distraction of like you're avoiding their procedures like everything that's set up already they set up the plane and you're still going to get on the plane and you're still going to get on the plane so you're going to do five years and still get the port so i'm like what the heck man this is crazy this is ridiculous so then um anyways i get i get the ported i get the port i get sent back now they have no no proof of me they they don't know like once i go to europe so now i am there with officers. I go from Arizona to Washington. When I'm in Washington, they're like, you want a sandwich or something? I was like, I'm dying in food. They got me some subway. I was like, all right, nice officers. They weren't bad people. They're just doing their job. You know, I never took, it's never their

fault, right? They're just doing their job. And then once I step on Europe, turf, then they unshackle me. Unshackle, like, you're free, but you still got one officer to take you all the way to make sure that you made it to Albania. You see what I'm saying? So they unshackle you because you're in Europe, you're in your land kind of, it's your area, and they unshackle you and everything. And then, and then they said, the next flights to Albania. So I land in Albania, the officers come, and they're like, who is this person? Like, we haven't seen this person. Like, he's your people. He was born here. And they're like, oh, okay. Anyways, so, anyways, he's like, he's born here. Okay, so I go over there and I see a bunch of people waiting outside the doorway.

And I'm like, who are all these people? I told the officer, that's your family members. Like, they're going crazy. They've been here all day waiting for you, like just going crazy. Like, where's my son? Where's my son? And then I just hear, of course, my mom, her voice you can hear from miles away. Like, Armando, Armando.

I was like, who? Oh, my mom. I was like, let me go talk to my mom. I haven't seen my mom in a long time. And they're like, no, no, no. So they wanted to keep me in like They want to keep me in like a holding To keep to get my process in

Because I left when I was young So they have no information Who I am, what's going on, nothing, right? So they want to keep me in holding And then I go And then so anyways There's connections in Albania Some people paid some money, blah blah blah

They're like listen We're not going to keep you here for long We're going to release you And of course they were not going to leave They're yelling at the guards And yelling at everything Release him. He left when he was a kid He doesn't know nothing

thing release him he's he's a citizen he's a he's an albanian citizen you know this is he was born in the hospital of tyrana we're like what the hell you guys doing release them and like they're making like a big deal over the guards so they released me right away and then that started my whole life now in albania getting deported right so anyways for the first six months depression they're not want to get out they not want to leave anywhere this is a whole new country for me i didn't want to go anywhere stayed at home. We barely had any money left. We had no money, no nothing. A lot of stuff happened. So I'm like, now my parents are waiting. They're waiting for a sponsorship through my brother. My two and I got two brothers and a sister, American citizens. One graduated from Arizona State

University for a computer engineering. The other one graduated and now my sister is in Michigan and she's graduating from Michigan. So we're waiting for, you got to be 21 years old to do a sponsorship. So for anybody knows, you got to be at least the age of 21. So my dad, wait until my brother was 21 to do the sponsorship, which we didn't know about. So finally, once he gets to the age of 21, they put the sponsorship in, and that part gets approved. You see what I'm saying? So they're still waiting. But me, I landed at 2012, six months, stayed in the depression.

Then I'm like depressed, me out of my mind. I didn't want to be there. I didn't want to be in Albania. I hate everything about it. I lost everything, man. I lost the girl. I lost my football career. I lost everything, man.

I was like, this is ridiculous. I mean, what's their left of my life? Now there's more left of my life, which I thought it was over. That's it. I thought deportation was the worst that it could be. No, it's not the worst that it could be. Trying to stay alive in Albania was even worse. So now we're talking about this crazy uncle,

which I led you to the story in the very beginning with the shooting. So now I decide to leave. and then I went to Germany tried to claim Germany like asylum over there they don't take too many people in so they kind of not deported me they said you overstayed your stay

six months you can stay you got to go back so I'm like I can't go back like I can't go back because of what happened with the situation so I went to after being six months in depression inside the house I decided to go to like a coffee shop down the street whatever and Albania they like to ask stupid questions

Like, well, not stupid questions, but they like to know everybody. So they see me, they see that like I don't speak that well of Albanian. You know, I kind of have like an accent. And they're like, hey, where are you from? Da da, da, da. And then I tell them. Now, me not knowing anything, what's going on. I said a name to them, you know.

I gave them the last name. But not Laco, which is my name, but my uncle's last name. Okay. So when I sold them. my uncle's last name. The guy's like, oh, and you're in this part of the city? And I'm like, yeah, like,

well, like, what are you talking about? So that person left. He disappeared. So now, I go to a place called Himar. At this time, I'm trying to do some security. And some security, my uncle, my other uncle that's in Albania, he got me a security job on the beach.

It's a security job. I try to help out people and whatever, just to make like, what, $400 a month? I went. Like after after you get deported, then you start really loving the country that you were at America. You start really regretting everything that you lost. You start seeing America as a place of gold. You know what I mean? But at first, when you're there, you're like, I, whatever, I hate this place.

No, no, no, no. Go back to your country for a couple of years and then tell me what you think about America. You're going to come and kiss the land. I'm going to tell you that right now. So then I go back there. and then it's just a hellhole. I mean, everybody's yelling and screaming and just chaos and just all corruption. People getting pulled over, paid money, guys getting caught with guns, paid money just to give the officer 30 bucks.

He lets you go. You know, beautiful country, don't get me wrong. You know what I'm saying? Beautiful country for like sightseeing and hanging out, but not to live there, you know, especially I'm doing security for risking my life. A guy can come and kill me at any time for $400 a month. My dad was working at a pizza shop. He was making, what, $3,000 a week in America. He was making $10 a day, the whole day.

12 hours of working. Here's your 10 measly bucks. Now, fuck off. And you look at the 10 bucks and you're like, what am I supposed to do first? Bring food to my kids. What am I supposed to do with 10 bucks? You know what I'm saying? So I was like, this is crazy.

He's working all day for $10. I got to help them out. So I got to do security. I go to a place down there at the security place. And then there's some paperwork that I sent you as well as the paperwork here. So this is like the people that's all signed and everything. Some of it's in Albanian and some of it's in English. But this is when my parents were attacked by the individuals.

So anyways, if you read down to it, it just says, and this is from, it's a newspaper article from Albania. So it's a newspaper article that everybody reads in Albania. They're well known. And it just talks about my family. So the individuals come and it says here, if they don't displace, they will be blown up and killed because of their son. So either bring back their son that's left or these individuals, which they came up to my. dad, we're going to blow you up and kill you, but they translate it, but it means

a little bit different in Albanian. It's a different wording, right? But that's the best they can do for the translated version. You know what I'm saying? So, they came to my father first to try and to harm my father, but my father doesn't have that name. Like, it's a different last name. So they wanted

the nephew. I mean, me. So I'm like, my dad's like, we got to get him out of here. We got to figure out a way to get him out of here. You know what I mean? This was all over the news at the time. So now I go to Himar and anyways, everybody will know this individual. So anyways, tell me how a guy that's been, he killed over 30 people and he gets out of jail in 10 years. He does 10 years prison time and he gets released. A big, big mob boss at the time,

and he says two murder suspects go on the run. He gets released and that's the guy that my uncle, his relatives that he paralyzed. So this individual, well-known all throughout Europe, this is the guy he gets released. So after committing 30 murders, and the government of Albania releases him. Crazy. So now, anyways, I show Canada. This is the conflict that happened. This is signed by the general of Albania.

Here's the official copy. So here's the, anyway, just some proof for people. people. This is the general of Albania. He's like the general police officer of Albania that they said that that they protected me. Individuals attacked me and the police protected me and they kept me in protection until they thought it was safe and they released me. So that's the whole this and that the translated version. I send you the stuff if you want to put it up. I like to bring up some facts because a lot of people talk about stuff, but that it really could happen or not. You don't know. But anyways.

Yeah. And that's the other one. Same thing. All police reports. Like the chief of police and for anybody in Albania, they know him. Agim Basha. So Agim Vasha anyways. All this says is that Armando, Armando was attacked at a certain time by the individuals. We protected him and kept them safe in custody. And that's it. They don't want to mention. the names. I don't want to mention last names because the police is scared of these individuals. They don't want to release their names. And now they go over there and say,

who are you guys to mention our last name? Like, what's going on? This family's really well known over there. Crimes and everything all throughout Europe. Even me getting protection in Germany doesn't mean nothing. If I get protection in Germany, they're going to catch me in Germany. So anyways, I'm doing, I'm going to a coffee shop now in Himar. This is far away from where I need to be. This is a far away from where I need to be. This closer to the area, you know, this is closer to my area that people know my uncle. Okay. So I go there and I mention the last name again because they keep asking for this last name.

I mentioned the last name. I'm walking up to the hill. As soon as I walk up to the hill, bam, they see the wound. It's right over here, big dash mark on my chin up top right here and a whole bunch of stooped all over my body. These individuals, they just come. That's the police report that we're getting. at. Individuals come

me up. I'm bleeding everywhere, soaked up. This hand, I can't even crumple it up anymore. Like, it stays like this. Like, I'll take the rings up. I can't because they from here to here. So I can't even make a fist.

It stays like this. So it looks like I'm flicking people off, which I'm not. I cannot bend this. So they stuck the whole tendons off my stuff, and I got a bunch of marks on my body. They wanted to put me in the trunk, but we were There's such an open area. They want to take it somewhere and just shoot me, get it over with.

So me being my size helped, that's the only thing that did help me. I pushed one away. I kicked one. I did everything. They're smaller guys, probably in their 20s. If it was probably in older people, they probably would have got me. They're trying to put me in the trunk. I can't get no trunk in a Mercedes.

How are you going to put me in a Mercedes in the back of a trunk with a big guy like me? Like, come on, man. At least do it right and put me in like, an SUV or get something bigger. Anyways. So they're trying to, they're trying to get me or whatnot. And then I escaped. I had to fall off.

I just, like I literally, there was a cliff. I said, I have no choice. Either fall off this little cliff that's going to make me roll and go down to the area where everybody's at, where they can see me. And then hopefully police will come pick me up or I got no other choice. And that's what I did. I took a jump. The guy's like, fuck, this guy's crazy.

He took a jump. Rolled, got cut up, got hit in the back of my head. I think I split like over here. Like over here, I got a whole cut right there on the top. And if you see, like, the whole side of my head on the back, it's all cuts and wounds. And that's it, life or death. I was like, who are these guys? Why are they coming after me?

What's going on here? Just because of the last name? What's happening? So security comes and they pick me up and that's what I got it. The general letting me out, right? He said, you're lucky we were there. That's a really serious people. How do you know them?

And I just said, I don't know, man. I just, I went to a coffee shop and I gave him the last name. Right. And he said, that's not a good name around here, man. Oh, fuck. How do I know? I was in America. I don't know nothing about this name.

He said, listen, anybody coming to pick you up? Get out of here now. Like, we can't even help you. get out here now. Come on, man. I'm thinking it's a joke. I haven't seen nobody. It's like mafia movie shit.

Come on, man. Like, I'm thinking it's a joke the whole entire time. I was like, who are these guys? I'll go beat them up. Dude, get out of here now. There's not no beating up. These people are going to shoot you and kill you. Right.

Get out of here now. And I'm like, fuck, what do I do? So anyways, I had to escape. Anywhere in Europe, these people know who I was. I stayed up in a village and I hit my son. in this village people would bring me food i stayed there for about a year it's because i left the 2014 so 2012 all the way 2014 two years was like a hideout you know what i'm saying um but that's that's six months that i stayed in germany that was about it right and i couldn't go back

to germany they already figured out so i had no choice i said i said you know what it wasn't even supposed to be like that but i needed to make some money to make a move so a buddy of mine his name was davis jacobs and uh he looks kind of like him you know but there was another person over there and um he wanted to get a passport i said well i got a guy who kind of looks like you maybe if he comes over here he's he's gonna buy the plane ticket i'll buy the plane ticket he'll come over here and then give me twenty thousand dollars and you can i need to make some money i need to do something somewhere. So anyway, they're a bunch of liars in Albania. Some people have

I'm not saying so I'm Albanians. Don't give me wrong. I don't want them to come crashing after me. Not Albanians are liars, but there's some crooks out there, you know what I'm saying? Majority of them are very hardworking good people, but there are a lot of cooks. And this guy says, I have the money. Don't worry. Just come. So anyways,

he comes, he brings the passport. Okay? And then I forgot anyways for anybody earlier today. That's just from the city of Maricopa County. Like that's all the paperwork for everything. That's everything else like that. Like everything that has from Maricopa County being held inside there.

You know what I'm saying? And that's the full right scholarship to Glendale Community College. As you can see, how my life went from trying to become something, getting deported and going through hell. In a matter of like years, just quick, just like that. And then, um, anyways. So then I leave that place as fast as I can My parents pick me up I'm trying to get the guy to come to Albania

For the passport I bought it I buy him his ticket I said listen bro come to Albania You're gonna like Give this passport to somebody He's gonna go somewhere Give you the passport back And we're gonna make some money

He needed money at the time as well He needed the money time as well He was broke So he's like okay I'll split with you 10 10 Whatever anyways He decides he comes to Albania I pick him up at the airport And I met a girl

A girl at the time that I was seen She was really nice and she helped me out with this whole process So I took him out a little bit Showed him a little good time But I couldn't go certain places He was like, why can we go here? I was like, no, I can't Why can we do it? I was like, I can't So I try to keep him away from everything

You know what I'm saying And then he was like, okay, like where are these people? I go to the person The best thing happened to me The person didn't want to buy the passport. I'd say, bro, you made me buy the tickets. The guy came down everything I did. And now you don't want to buy the passport?

I said, what's going on here? Like, what kind of business is this? He's like, dude, I don't want it. He doesn't look like me. I don't care. I don't want it. I'm saying, give me the money for the ticket then. Get out of here.

If you don't leave my club right now, I'm going to shoot you. Simple's like, get the fuck out of here. I got no support. I got no defense. I got no. people i got i don't even know anybody to give me a gun if i wanted to i could probably find one but whatever so i left i said it didn't work out okay i'm looking at the overnight i'm looking at the passport i'm looking at him i'm looking at the passport i'm looking at him i'm looking at myself

in the mirror i'm like could i just try it i was like he kind of looks like me let me just try what's what's the worst it's gonna happen i'm a fuck i'm a dead man anyways oh I'm going to stay here. I'm going to die. So I told them, I was like, listen, bro, I've got to go to Germany for a little bit. Okay? You're going to stay with my girlfriend. She's going to take you out. She can go anywhere because nobody's looking for her. She takes them out. They have a great time. He's texting me. He's like, bro, I'm having a great time. I love Albania. Everything's great. At this time, I'm getting tickets ready. That's a ticket. So this is 12 years. 12 years to take it. 12 years long. So this is ticket and that's them declining me, almost catching me in Paris.

They disrupted my flight because it didn't look like me. One lady out of everybody, I tricked, I tricked, not trick, but I guess I manipulated the ambassador of like America, the guy who checks the people for immigration. So he got, he was like, that's him, that's him. And then we hit it off because he used to play football. I'm like, yo, bro, I used to play football too, Davis Jacobs. You know, but I knew the guy everything. I know everything about him. I know his social security number.

I knew who he was. I knew everything about it. I dated a sister. I know everything about the guy. So anyways, so then I told him, I'm Davis Jacobs, blah, blah, blah. They're looking at my, the guy has like brownish, goldish, like eyebrow. So I went to a salon to get kind of like goldish hair, like to do a whole makeover to kind of look like him. Right.

So they did that to me. I went from Albania to Vienne. That's what the thing says. From Albania to Vienne, from VN to Paris. I messed up. I wanted to go to Luxembourg. Like I said, from earlier, Luxembourg is the place to go. Easy, right?

I went to Paris. I said, no. Paris is number one, like, strict, super strict. Nobody can get involved. The only thing that saved my life is that I speak fluent English. that's it because if I spoke like Albania like chippa chippa chippa chippa chippa like that they would have caught on right away but because I was like this is me I'm David Jacobs like I'm trying to go see my girlfriend in Canada like what are you talking about like I'm David Jacobs like I'm trying to see my girlfriend I'm only going to be there for a week I'm going to go back to America you know what I'm saying and then so they're checking the passport and everything they bring me down that's why they avoided the ticket. They said no, but they said, come back tomorrow and we'll see what happened. So they got me a room in Paris and they said, come back the next day.

Sorry about you missing your flight and everything. Because it was just one lady. There was this one lady. She was an Indian lady. But she was the smartest one of them all. She was the smartest one of the mall because she was like, you're either Albanian, Serbian, or Macedonian. You are not American. I don't know how she got it right. I'm like, how to fuck? Who is this chick? You know what I'm saying? Same day I see her again.

But now, you know, once the American immigration ambassador, once the main guy says you're good to go, you're good to go. She's just an employee. You know what I'm saying? So he made up his mind. He goes, listen, I got this one. He's 100% Davis Jacobs. That's Davis Jacobs.

Like, come on. Like, look at the damn passport. Like, stop this already. She's complaining. hopping on the plane. She's still like, you know, no, no, doing this. I can see her. And I'm looking at him. Just look straight. Look straight. Get out of here. Once the plane leaves, you are good. They're not going to turn the plane around, right? So you are. And then my uncle told me, once the plane leaves, you're good. So I'm like, all right. I'm saying, she's arguing with him.

He's arguing with the other. And then he just waves at me like, bye, Davis Jacobs. Like, thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Appreciate it. But they're like, I was an interrogation. room for hours like why did you play football okay what happened why'd you go to kansas like they wanted to know but i knew all the answers because me and him talked about everything but we didn't talk about one thing we didn't we didn't talk about one thing that affected me when i came to canada so everything was good i hopped on the plane she's arguing whatever plane and then the guy says uh uh plane has been interrupted i'm like oh my god they got me but no how to do with something else playing goes.

As soon as it shoots up, I'm buying drinks for everybody. I had like 500 bucks. I'm buying drinks for everybody. I said, you want to drink? You want to drink? I'm in a happy mood. I'm drinking. I'm having fun.

I was like, I got out of there. I made it. I don't know how this worked out, but I made it. I don't know. All that guy said is, bye, Davis Jacobs. I said, bye, office. Thank you very much. And then that's it.

That's a ticket. Save my life. So anyways, I come over here. And then, here's one thing that that's kind of crazy now. So now I go, so now I come to Canada. Canada, same process. How are you?

I was everything good? Looking at the passport. The guy's like, that doesn't look like you. And I'm like, this is me. The guy just in Paris said the same thing. You know, and I knew the name at the time, I forgot the individual's name. I told him the name of the person. He said, it doesn't look like me.

They took me into interrogation room. They ask me a bunch of questions. And then I even told, I was that, like, confident. Like, you have to have confidence when you're doing this kind of stuff. And, like, with any crime you do it, you've got to be confident about it. You cannot be scared. If you're scared, you're done. You know, I was like, bro, I got to see my girlfriend.

It's her birthday coming up. This is ridiculous. I'm Davis Jacobs. Call my dad. Call my dad right now then if you don't believe me. I was going crazy with this guy. To a point he was like, calm down, Davis. It's all right.

Omar, you're leaving. You got a plane. Hilarious. I wish they had the camera over there. So anyways, I come over here to Canada. Anyways, the guy just goes, I don't know, the passport doesn't look like you, but anyways, it doesn't matter because you're not allowed in Canada. I was like, what?

I was like, I'm Davis Jacobs. He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know you're David's Jacobs, no problem. What happened in 2000 and I think, I think that's right when he graduated, 2010. I was like, I don't know what the fuck. I don't know what happened. I guess the guy forgot to tell him he got busted with, he got busted with the steroids. He was a big steroid user. So I was trafficking in steroids and stuff.

And you're not allowed to come to Canada. Any trouble you get in the States, you're not allowed to come to Canada. So now they look at me and they're like, so we're going to deport you. I'm like, where are you going to deport me? You're home. America. And that's where I got a 10-year bar from. I'm not allowed to end.

So I'm like sitting there. I'm like, should I just go back? I'm like, no, you're an idiot. Once you go back, they're going to fingerprint you. You're done. Like you're finished. That's called trespassing, re-entry, and you're going to catch. Because I know a guy in there, believe it or not, 12 times.

He came back, went back. Cross the border. He had 12 re-entries. There was a game to him. The officers even laughed. They go, later Lopez. He goes, I'll see you guys tomorrow to see my kids. Yeah, yeah, we know Lopez.

12 times the guy game. So anyways, they call me. They're like, you're going to go back to America. I'm just sitting down. I'm sweating. I'm like, no, I got to tell him the truth. Forget this. I'm like, listen, my name is Armando.

I got deported from the States. I got a 10-year band. Everybody's like, what? What does happen? Get over there in that corner, please. Just sit over there in that corner. We'll get to you in a while. And then afterwards, I told them the truth about everything.

I said I had to leave. I was going to get killed by these individuals. And here's the proof right here. They give you a refugee Canada asylum. So that means you're allowed to work. You're allowed to stay in Canada. You get covered by Blue Cross, free health care in Canada. allowed to work in Canada

everything. So they give you this piece of paper, release you, and then that's it, have the next thing. So now I made it to Canada and now it's the Albania passport that they confiscated, that they confiscated over there on the border. So now I'm over here. Did you have the little, did you have the little frohawk? No, I'd take that off because Davis Jacobs didn't have it.

David Jenkins didn't, yeah, Davis Jenkins didn't have any of that. He just had a flat like bus cuts. I had to look just like them. I had to buzz everything down. But that's when I landed to Albania when I had that that's a little throw a hog thing. I always kept that. Everybody said I looked like Jersey Shore.

Like Ronnie from Jersey Shore. I don't know if they watch it. But I looked at I was wearing like, you know, with the chains and the white beater and everything. Okay. So that was Jacob's passport. No. That was a copy of your passport. That was mine.

Yeah, that they confiscated. They confiscated. Okay. Okay, I thought he was going Jacobs. No, no, no, no. Davis Jacobs, that passport, they keep that. They kept both, they kept passports. They keep that passport.

And I think they call him, which they did. And he just gets a new one back, you know. But he went to a temporary one at the. He gets a temporary one and he gets his back. But if you look up, he's probably on Facebook. And if you match us together, we don't look alike. I don't know how it happened. If you Facebook, everything, we look different.

It's weird. Like we don't look that alike. I don't know how it worked out. Like I told you, the only thing that saved me is English. Like the fluent speaking English, that's what saved. Nothing else other than that. So they took a whole report. You know, they do the whole report thing from the embassy.

That's the whole report that they write down that he used Davis Jacobs, his passport to come here. He was attacked by these individuals. Yeah, these are just the officer's notes. I send you to them as well. I just like people to show some proof online just so people understand the story. And I just, oh, he made it all up. And then it just, that's it.

Like, like, oh, I went to Air France. So, yeah, 2014, December 12, 2014. That's when I landed. And I went to jail. So that's the funny part. So I landed. I come to Canada. I'm like, I can see.

Canada. It's amazing. First time ever. I can see Canada. And at this time, I came to Canada, not knowing anything about Canada, right? So I just had like a shirt on, some shorts. It was December. It's freezing. It's snowing. Like, what do you do it? And then I'm like, ready to go to Canada. They're like, it's snowing outside. You're wearing nothing. Like, what are you talking about? I didn't know how Canada was going to be, right? So, but they didn't take me. They took me straight to Maplehurst jail. There's a jail here called Maplehurst. They want to do, they want to see what happened to you in America. You know what I'm saying? Before they release you, they want to know what happened. What did you get in trouble with? What's the reason? So if you did time, so if you tried to go to

another country, but you did time in that country, you know, severe charges, do not make an effort to go anywhere. They're not going to work. They're going to keep you in there for about a year or six months, get your flight ready and send you back. So for anybody who's got deported from the states, who got the portals for that, they're trying to come back or anyway, and you're not trying to go to America, but you're trying to go let you say Australia. They're going to keep you in there, and they're going to see what you did wrong with that country. Maybe not Australia. Only Canada because they're neighbors. America and them are neighbors. So they want to see the problems you had. Are they severe? Are they over two years? Are they over three years prison time? So they saw their

the charges weren't severe, right? And then they released me on a refugee asylum. So I got released on a refugee asylum. And then I made it to Canada. And then being in Canada the whole time, just stuck with the pizza shop. I found a pizza shop nearby, Naples Pizza, and worked at Naples the whole entire time.

I'm talking about 100 hours a week. I didn't care. I just wanted to work, work, work, work. And then a few problems. happen of course problems always occur right like that doesn't that's how it is so finally landed in canada after the officer said because i have to tell him the truth right he was going to release me he was going to support me back to america i don't want to go so i just said whatever they gave me the refugee and that's it and i started my life i went to windsor which they found it ironic

they're like why do you want to go to windsor so bad and i said i don't know that's where my uncle lives said but why windsor said i don't know that's where my uncle lives why you're asking me many questions i guess windsor is the border of like america to canada so they think that i'm trying to go back right i'm trying to do something i was like no no no no i want to stay here i want to stay here i want to be safe i want to stay here i don't care you know what i'm saying i'm not going to go back to the states i don't care i say what winter though i was like i'll go anywhere toronto i'll go wherever you want just not back home i'll say wherever you guys want me to and they're like okay all right whatever because they saw it. If I wanted to go back, I could have used a passport to try to go back.

But I didn't. I came here to get away from these individuals to claim refugee to not die. And they're like, all right. Anyways, so then I started my life over here. And ever since, just, I've been working and been working, but then I caught that assault charge. And then that's why I could tell you about a little bit of the Canadian jail, how crazy it is over here. Yeah. Yeah. I did a little bit of time. So now I got, and I got, I did jail in America, which is Arizona. I did jail in Albania, which is Himar and I did jail in Canada. So I got, I know exactly what he needs to look like.

The food here is not so bad. Three, three meals a day. So three meals a day is not bad. Really good meals, big meals. The only problem is, it's, uh, it's different from the states. The CEOs here are messed up. They, uh, kill in. mates. So it's all over the news. I think I send you the article as well. But right. Yeah,

there was he was, he was affiliated to a biker. Let's just say that. I don't want to mention no names because I'm in this area at the moment. Right now, I'm waiting for a waiver. I got, did my 10 years. So I'm waiting for a waiver to go back to the States through a sponsorship through my father. But also I got my refugee asylum that I'm waiting for in Canada. Some people get it right away. They get lucky. You know, some people that had charges, whatever, take time for me it's took in 12 years 12 years and then other people that come over here from other countries they get it right away and then they're burning the canadian flag and saying death death to Canada and they're saying we hate Canada so we'll fucking go back to your damn ass country

then and see how you like it because i went there i didn't like it that's what i mean so if you guys are saying death death to can't do nothing to these guys because they're allowed to do it according to the police. That's a terrorist attack and burning the flag and saying death again. That's what I think. Anyways, that's a whole big thing going on in Canada right now, where it's going to happen really soon. It's happening in America.

It's happening everywhere that a lot of people are, immigration is becoming big. You might think that racism is like going down and disappearing. It's actually becoming more because now you got a whole different groups coming in. You know, we got Indians, Arabic's coming in and all this, and everybody's trying to connect with everybody, and they don't see eye to eye, they don't see the same views. So there's fights and wars and everywhere.

They get mad at Canada why they can't be part of NATO. Like who, like, or why they're part of NATO? They're part of NATO because they're part of NATO. You know what I'm saying? What does that got to do with anything? Well, what's that what's to you? They gave you a roof over your head. They're letting you work.

You know what I'm saying? Work. Be happy. You, you escape your country. And that's it. You know what I'm saying? Why are you making this such a big deal? So there's a lot of controversy here when it comes to the whole, you know,

who they're bringing in, but they're bringing in a lot of people. They brought it, what, 20,000 Syrians, 20,000 Syrians, the whole Motel 6, all the hotels down in Windsor were booked. They said we've booked because we're giving them hotels. We're getting places to stay. They get to stay here and live here. They get $1,000 right off the bat every month. They get all of these specials.

privileges, everything, stuff that even Canadians don't get, which I feel bad, you know what I'm saying? The majority of them don't even work. They get a lot of money. They don't need to work. They blame it that they don't know the language. They blame it that they did. They just came and they don't know, you know what I'm saying. So anyways, for being a guy who got deported, who saw the worst to worst, I know how it feels. So it's a different story with me because I've seen it. With them, they regret it. But why don't you go back to your country, they don't understand, you know, how much you want to kiss the floor. Can you can't. Canada or America. They're two of the best countries. You know what I'm saying? You mean, you can go back and forth, say who's better, who's not? It doesn't matter. It's safe, right? Majority. But regardless, I went to exit the road and then the whole, that was the Bam Bam. Bam was the name. A good fellow, amazing guy. But. So yes, now with the assault charge, a nightclub situation coming to a new country, don't know too many people. These are not my friends. These are not my day ones. These are people.

just met. So started life all over again. You go to a whole new country, your life's starting all over again. Anyways, go to a local nightclub. Some individuals didn't like the chains I was wearing and stuff like that. So they thought that they could try to rob me on the outside. As I was leaving, they were following me, took a corner, and then that's when we fought. It was three on one. They tried to yank. They got one of the chains. They yanked it off of me on the way of running to the card they dropped on the ground but like they stuck kept the chain part but not the actual eagle and this is just something my parents gave me like just close to heart that my family bought you know with the money that they had left in albania so that means a lot anyways took the assault charge officers come

and then uh what are you doing do i'm hearing a refugee claim okay no problem you're going to exit the road exit the road where's jail in canada so wait a second i have a question real quick so someone tried to rob you you defended yourself and you got charged yeah they saw the fight they saw me punching the guy and they saw the the fight uh well the two of them got picked up we all well got picked up for assault by uh disturbing the peace uh uh honoring death threats and uh assault you know and And then I think one of them had a weapon, so solid a weapon. Canada is, they like to take everything to trial. They love trial.

And they take everything to trial. And the States, if you go to trial, it's something crazy, something ridiculous. Well, the state, if somebody tried to rob me, and I chased him down and beat him half to death with a baseball bat, I'm within my right. Yeah, no guns. No guns in Canada, not allowed to shoot. Nobody has a gun. Nobody has not one gun here. You're not allowed to.

you're not allowed to provoke anybody. You're not allowed to attack anybody. You're not allowed to disturb the peace. You are not allowed to give violent. But he robbed. They tried to rob you. Doesn't matter. To them, it's like, why are you guys fighting in public?

Oh, he tried to rob me. Okay. Well, I saw you punching him. And then they're attacking you. He tried to rob me. Yeah, exactly what I told the officer. But why are you punching them back? Oh, well, he tried to rob me.

Well, how do we know this? When did it happen? I said, it happened right outside. Okay, well, we don't know. We just know that you guys are fighting. There's two of you guys, and they're fighting you. You guys are all fighting each other. This guy's got punched in the face. I've seen you throw the blow. I've seen him yanking on your chain. Get a lawyer. That's what they love here. Get a lawyer. Take it to court. They love trials here. Everything goes to trial. And if it involves a woman, forget about it. Canada protects their woman, 100. 10% you can literally have a woman inside the house she can say she loves you you get along the next day she felt like she did something wrong she regrets it she calls the police and says that she was forced inside your house done finished that you can come say whatever you want you're going to jail you got to charge you're going to go to trial take a guilty plea or go to trial i got a guy right now doing the essay like uh sexual like assault you know what He's in there right now. Then it was his girlfriend.

His girlfriend told him come over, text message and everything. I can't wait for you to get home, blah, blah, blah, but found out that he was cheating on the phone. It doesn't matter. She got aggressive throwing stuff, told the cops that he came over here and forced himself inside the house. Force himself inside his own home and tried to aggressively attack her in bed. Boom. He's just trying to fight a trial right now. He's an exit of road.

Doesn't matter for women. here, forget about it. She can smack you in the face, punch you in the face, hit you with a baseball bat. As soon as you touch her, you're going to jail. The man's at fault. I've learned this. I've seen it 100 for times. I don't like to put hands on women. I'm not like that because I'm like Albanian in most countries, they like to be like aggressive towards a woman. I don't like that kind of stuff, you know, but I've seen guys like a girl punches him at the nightclub. he has the right to defend himself he gets to jail

doesn't matter here for a woman forget about it you're automatically at fault if you're trying to start a fight with a woman you're trying to start with a woman you're gone you're trying to start a fight with the man you're both in trouble I get it all right so you're in jail

so they bring you down there yeah they take you down to Maricopa County or Morocco County I'm still stuck in my head exit or rope I'm still speaking of But Sherrodrome, and that place is stuck in my head and has got me nightmares. If you sleep hot at night, you know how disruptive that can be.

I'm thinking, okay, whatever, I've been to jailing. in the States, whatever, like, what are they going to do? And I was defending myself. It doesn't matter. You got to get a lawyer and you got to fight the charge. So at this time, you have to have an assurity. Assurity is somebody that can, that you're going to stay at their house. You're going to, they're going to be protecting you.

They're going to do this and that. I don't have an assurity. Like, I have no family out here. All my family's in America and over this. So I got to literally find it in there. But anyways, I told them the situation. I got no family here. I got no nothing.

And then they released me. But the time being in there, which was a couple months, three to four months of being inside before they can actually release you. That's when I like I heard. And like the CEOs are crazy. They're corrupt. Like so if somebody if somebody does something towards a woman, okay, they're going inside Exeter Road jail.

The cops or not the cops, But the COs literally will bang on the doors, right? We'll take them to the worst yard. Like there's level four, five, and six. And they'll take it to the worst one. Like, say six is active. Six is active. Everybody's getting down.

Everybody's fighting. Everybody's going crazy. They'll take them up to six. And then they'll be like, you guys ready for tomorrow? And then you go out. And then everybody will start out. That means the wolves are going to get you. And then the CO will point them out.

like it's this guy. That's the guy that violated a woman. And that's the guy you guys are going to get. And that's what happens. They let it happen. They release them. First rule is, you got to go take a shower. So as a guy in the morning gets released to the shower, boom, speeding up. They take their time. They walk around. They walk around. They walk around. They walk around. They know what's happening already. It's the owl. Once you do that, that means you dug, the wolves are coming out to play. So they're beating it. They're beating the crap out of this guy. Afterwards, they take them and they put them in PC,

protect the custody. So another individual came over there. That's where you see all over the news. If you put an Exeter Road riot or Exeter Road inmate killing, or you just put Bam Bam inmate, you can see over 2,000 bikers showed up. 2,000 bikers because the COs and beat the individual.

The next person next door, to him heard him say please stop please stop stop please please guys stop they get beating them punching them hitting them stomping them stomping them now there's a lawsuit going on but the guy that they did was a well-known biker don't want to mention it but if you go on there you're going to see the the jackets but anyways two thousand of them showed up not one of them came out not one of the ceos came out of that jail cell everybody stayed indoors that day they locked the whole place up and it was crowded by 2,000 bikers. That place, that jail is the worst jail when it comes to CEOs not caring. They want you to get in trouble. They want you to fight.

They want to see who's stronger, who's tougher than the other. And if you give them force, they're going to come at you with force. So you can look it up all you want. There's like, what, maybe two, three deaths a year from COs from then. That's, we're talking about the CEOs killing you. So it's just, it's corrupt, man. It's corrupt. And, and, And it's just a simple jail. Lock up, you know, three times to eat a day type type stuff. You get stayed in, right? I mean, you get to get out.

They got a TV, a nice TV, totally different from Durango. Nice cleaner jail, better looking jail. But the CEOs are totally different. You know, in the States, they won't allow that kind of stuff to happen here. That totally changed my mind because they let anything happen in that jail. CEOs are nowhere to be found. You know what I'm saying? How long were you there?

Three to four months, as soon as I got out, and I thought I took everything to trial. I've had three charges in Canada, and I took them all to trial, and I beat them all. I beat all of them. All of them have been dropped. You've got to take everything to trial in Canada. They want you to go to trial.

That's how they make their money. They want you to go to trial. They don't care. So so far, I've been fortunate because none of them were my fault, to be honest with you, but I took it to trial, and they didn't have any evidence. and I got cleaned away from those. But that's what I remember from Maricopa County.

I didn't know it was going to be that crazy, but them killing one of my, like, these, like, good friends as you know them from a long time, you know. Can't say I grew up with the guy, but parting, hanging out, you know, a guy that's well known around the community, after seeing him, getting stomped out by CEOs, not seeing him, but hearing it. And then him being dead in there. And then all these other people were going through torture and seeing the guy that I had to go fight him in the bathroom for what like it's not even the officers made you did you really even

even come there for that you don't even know there was no proof there was nothing just to go guys you ready all everybody start out we're ready to go then so the doors open take him straight to the shower so just a straight corrupt jail messed up you know the maple hearse is the same thing Maplehurst is even worse, you know, but if I have to say, Maricopa County would be way worse. But when it comes like food and like the environment that you live in, like Arizona would be worse like an environment that you live in. Canada-wise, you get fed well.

There's no woods, confos, Chicano's. There's nobody segregated. It's just white, black. That's it. Nobody, there's no racial problems. There's nothing like that. You know what I'm saying? But this place has a lot of problems when it comes to immigrants coming in. They have, I live next to a guy. It's all over the news as well. He ran over a family and a whole Indian family just because he didn't like them. And I lived next to the guy. I never knew he was like that. But one day I made a comment. I said, we were doing laundry. You know all the apartments have one laundry that everybody has to go. go. I see them walking at the apartment complex and this is on for anybody wants to look 34 Covent Marketplace in London, Ontario. And then the individual, I say Salam alaikum to him, you know. He says, Salama, Salama, what? I said, Salam alaikum, you know, I hear you say it a lot

here. And everybody doesn't can. There's a respectful kind of way, you know. I swear to God, man, what he said. It was just like he goes, Salakum, Sakam. or something like that. I said, what? I said, what he just said like a rude, disrespectful way? Salé come to Sikang? I was like, what are you talking about, man? That's the guy that ran over the family the next day, all over the news. He was just, he just hated immigrants. He hated immigrants, and he was fully strapped, had all these guns. He could have came and killed me that night. I didn't even know about it. I'm over here thinking, Canada is a dangerous country, but they don't put stuff all over the news like America.

does. They're very quiet. You know what I'm saying? They do a lot of problems that happen to Canada, but it's not all over the news. They don't blast everything. And social media takes it and goes crazy. And there's no RICO. There's no RICO cases here. So there's no RICO. So in the end of the day, there's no, oh, you're part of a gang. Okay, RICO, everybody goes in. So, and you've murdered somebody 10 years is maximum. So it's totally different, totally different from the state. There's a lot more leniency in Canada, but, you know, anyways, there's a lot more leniency in Canada, but that's not what we're here for. I'm trying, I came to the country to better myself, to stay out of trouble, but, you know, coming to a new country at first, what are you going to do? You're going to get

a little bit of conflicts at first, right? So then I opened up a pizza shop. I got a coffee shop in Toronto, and I opened up a pizza shop over here, and I work every day at my pizza shop, and I got a little small coffee shop, me and my partner, and then that's it. I get involved. I, and I'm going to some stocks i like to how long you've been doing the the uh pizza shop and the coffee shop oh since i came to canada i worked like that i owned i owned it for about it's been four years now that i've owned the pizza shop and two years i've owned the coffee shop but at the beginning i worked every day at naples pizza like every day at the pizza shop um believe it or not they were third place in the world canada for best pizza which i didn't know so it's a third place in the world canada for best pizza

which I didn't know. So it took third place for best pizza, and I got to get trained by some professionals out there, which was pretty nice. And you go back to where you were. I always knew how to make good pizza. I always knew how to make good pizza. So my dad always said football player, pizza maker. So now my father made it.

He got his sponsorship. So he finally made it to America the legal way, the right way. I believe in that. Everybody should come legally if you're going to come to the country. Come legally. he's happy that he's there legally. Nobody bothers him no more. No more ice coming to your door and getting scared

and watch it behind your back. And now the only person that's left is my mother. She's waiting on a sponsorship too. You know? And she's just, it's going to be like within this year, next year she's going to come back. And hopefully we can have that one family meal that we wanted to that we've never had for about 15 years now.

Once you get separated from your family, that one dinner that you didn't give. a damn about that you missed that you didn't want to go to you wish that you have them and you can eat that one meal with them you know so you know it's it's it's sad man getting separated from your family you do uh you miss a lot and uh you know for everybody who's going to go through it especially with this mass deportation thing just be ready guys you know have your stuff in order have your stuff in the system don't trust any you know that's why i got i got a i got an Instagram, Mondo Fight for Freedom. It's just Mondo, my name, and then fight, and then the number four for freedom. That's my Instagram that I just created. And that's for anybody who wants to get in there to talk about immigration to get some help. If you want to know some good lawyers, because I've been through it, man. We've spent over 200,000 on lawyers, my dad. So I know which ones are corrupt, which ones are messed up. If you're trying to come to Canada, if you're trying to come to America, however you're trying to do it, I know the process. I live through it, man. I'm 35 years old and I've been

struggling for 35 years to find a home. You know what I mean? Not even Albania wants me. So, I mean, they want me, but I can't go. All right. What are the names of the social media again? Yeah, Mondo Fight for Freedom. That's going to be the Instagram.

Yeah, Instagram one. And then my YouTube channel that I'm trying to start up. Right now I'm just doing, what's the difference between Canada and America? That's where I'm getting at. And then later on we'll talk about immigration and a lot more other stuff. But it's going to be at like to search it up on YouTube, which is at El Hefe. Or El Hefe the Don. So at El Hefe the Dawn.

And that would be to search it up. But it's called to jump off. The jump off is the name. And that's just me jumping off to one country to another country to another country. So that's what I came up with the name. And then just El Hefe the Dawn. If you want to search it up, hopefully get some subscribers. A lot of people in Canada are,
