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, 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, I mean, 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's 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 was my uncle. But right after that, if you look at pictures that the 1990, they brought down the wall. So 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. 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. And so the wall that was separating what? Albania and 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. like you can airlines or nothing but but there's a wall there's a wall that

that led to the embassies like the american embassy the german embassy and everything so there's a wall protecting it that you cannot pass that wall you're kind of like the wall in what separating what a west and east germany where at one time like all the walls started coming down right yes yes they started and it came down yeah so 1990 is when i was board 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 our thong and our ben um they were known to going with the guys getting a group of fellas from the neighborhood and taking 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 same. 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, but 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. Have 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 him 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 everybody looks at him as like this one he's the one 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 at 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. small coffee shop, sold the Borek. We had Borek and Baclavar, kind of some Albania dishes that we had. And the bandits decided to come over there. Last name, should I, I'll say, I'll say last name. And they would know. It's the Bresia family. Okay. So the breaches 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 Barisha, but always said that they never were related to one another, you know, they never had no, it was just different names or same last name, but they have no, 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 deported 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 individual 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. He's like, 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, but 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 shot to 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 are serious. After that, my uncle, like I said, hardheaded does not take after that. I can't believe they would do that. They should have 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 uh you know where's my sister she said i haven't seen her she says she's going to grocery shopping

i told you guys stay together what the hell you guys doing so anyways my father said let me look into and see what happens i guess the people the grocery store said some individuals came uh 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 We're 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 trade-off, 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 trade-off 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 wasn't 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 need 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.

And then the best place to go through 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 and we got to hurry up. So from Albania to, uh, 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 airport. I know the Sky Harbor of Arizona, but not the New York.

Is it Kennedy or no, what is it? Is it LaGuardia in New York? Anyway, what does it matter? One of the airports in New York. And then my mom said that they caught us. In New York, they actually caught us. And they said, these passports don't look at it. But I was crying.

My mom was crying. 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 courts. 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? They 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 he's like 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're 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? 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 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 um the 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 in jail 13 years old. What's going on here? I'm like, you know, what's, what, what do I do? What, what do I do? And this 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 this to get your stuff in the system. If you don't have anything pending in the system, they automatically pick you up and put you a nice facility holding you always got to have something pending in the system it could be anything but you got to have something pending if you don't you're done you're getting picked up so my lawyer was making excuses oh i 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 of 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 was always was always playing like uh i got like magazines right here. This is me like on the Boulder Creek football team right here on the very on the very uh side over here so then I got a full right scholarship to uh like glendale community college at the time full life scholarship for football for glendo community college which later on led to um hopefully getting but I have to pay half of my money but to go to Arizona State University right so football's going well glendo accepted me 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 to a pizza hub in your whole life or become professional football player you've got other choices so I was like all right I guess football's the way to go because I'm not trying to do anything else so um after that just that's it just uh i found i found a woman found love with her she was my first like my first love kind of thing and then uh she was columbian 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 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, talk about girlfriend, work, home, work 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 was kind of like, Somas was kind of like, I don't want to say, like an oxy cotton. So everybody got involved. 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 a lot of people he's talking about wealthy people they thought their kids were doing well

they're giving their kids money to for 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 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 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'm 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 that. So I'm like, this is getting, you know, it's getting emotional. But what happened was, is they found a fraudulent document at a time, but it was a communist era. How do you know if the documents are real or not? It's communist. You don't know what documents were. Nobody shows you what stamps were involved. So they 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. To 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 what I'm saying? I got something against people that play the trick behind the scene once you're locked up. You know what 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 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 it 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 he started i'll say why are you doing like 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 the 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 paid you, and I remember this.

He 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. you can 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 guy, that lawyer that we're talking about, standard, uh, his name. But if you're looking 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 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 it's important to have parents by your side at any time you know to 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 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 uh 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 and we'll put on speaker you 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 fingerprints and my dad doesn't know English that well that time you know he's barely he's barely learning English you worked at a pizza shop so he knows hi how are you what kind of

pizza pepperoni cheese mushroom grape pepper he 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, get in your vehicle, come down. And then he goes, okay, but I'm going to bring Armando 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 an immigration ice facility. 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 he'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 there's no way we would have kept the money and probably just went back to albania the right way And then, and then just fought our way to come back to the country since he has U.S. citizen kids. You know what I mean? But we would have saved a bunch of cash.

But he never told us. Daddy just said, don't worry. He just, this is all 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. When you 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 her 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 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. As 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, 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 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 um 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'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 stubborn. No, I own a business. I got American, 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, call the lawyer. He's saying that he doesn't know what's going on.

I guess the U.S. Supreme Court, that's the highest court you can go to, but they denied his 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 the last one is the U.S. Supreme Court, the ninth 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 say 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 ninth circuit said you're getting deported you're getting deported so anyways they get 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 Elon. 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 uh camp they held they hold you in a camp um at this time i got to explain to all the kids what's going on with the family so 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 stepped 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 and how am I supposed to take care of them? 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 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 and 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, like, 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 in 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'd have 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. 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 years, 14 years. 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? That time. So 2009, I graduated 2009, the school of, yeah, class of 2009. And 1920, so around 1920 years old. And, yeah, and that least, so deportation was 2012, 2012 was deportation. Yeah. So then, anyways, right after that, I 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 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 need. 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. Albania. So, but he tried to open up a restaurant. He's thinking that you 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 a car washed and 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're 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, so in Albania's It's 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 make. For a limited time at McDonald's, enjoy the tasty breakfast trio. Your choice of chicken or sausage McMuffin or McGrittles with a hash brown and a small iced coffee for five bucks plus tax. Available until 11 a.m. at participating McDonald's restaurants. Price excludes flavored iced coffee and delivery.

And he ended up closing all these shops. All this, like 150,000, that was all gone within a couple of years, you know what I'm saying? Right. Anyways, on the way of going to the pizza shop, me and a friend of mine, he likes to smoke his kush. He likes to smoke his kush. He's very, he loves his kush. So he always brought his kush 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 of myself like, he's like, yo, 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 an 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 Kush, 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 was like, 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 it goes. Oh, what's that bag over there in the back?

I go, 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 the, 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 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 you got to take this bro please I'm going I'll be going in for like I'm going I'll be going in for like In the three years. I'm going to be doing some time. That's like my third, fourth offense.

I'm on probation and everything. I'm like, what? You tell me all this stuff now? 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 words? 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. 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. Are 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 caustrophic. I'm like, bro, I'm not getting that car. It's too small. So they got me for resistant arrest. And all his 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, bro, 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. You know? 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? How 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 do you talk? 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. 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 it was bad right and then um at first i didn't know why people drank alcohol but after that had i started to like it and then i started figuring 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 the 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 and i feel the pain go away right that i'm going through

at the time so anyways anybody drives the car to my uncle my uncle's got to come down to maricopa get me out he can't give me out because of um 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 and the weekend starts and then um 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 an 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 get the argument all this entire time. They kept laughing at me. They're like, no, you're not, man. You get back out of here. You're not. So they 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. Shared Joe Pio 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 $2, $3 million. 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, 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 you know to make you lower than yourself and it's a hot box outside intensity 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 kind of collapse on the floor, majority of them.

And the worst part, they don't let you use the 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 mad at this. 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 that 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 is even worse. I'm like, Durango's even worse. This place is awful. wouldn't need derango the order. What is Durango? Another jail or is it an ice facility? No, Durango.

So this is jail because I got an ice hold. 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? Well, about this case? Everybody's telling me they're like, dude, you got an ice hold.

You got to fight this case. But you got to beat this charge so you can get the ice hold. Exactly. Or will the ice hold, yeah, we'll be dismissed and then you've got to contact a lawyer to try to figure out another way because you're, 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 know 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 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. Chicanos are Mexicans born in America. And then the others, which is Cambodians and Jamaican. others and whatever you want to call them you know what you go in jamaican i'm going to be a kinfo okay so those are it 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 uh some fresh toothpaste fresh stuff of noodles and then crackers and you know all kinds of stuff they take good care of you when you go inside there right what they give you a lock to use until you can get one yeah yeah 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 i need this for i'm like what 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.

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 is that? He's the shock collar. I'm like, all right. So I go meet the shock collar. And then some biker guy with a mullet, big bullet, 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 are 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, like you're supposed to tell me some apartment? Here's the rules. We don't engage with the, 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 discuss 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, the worst thing about the ranking, go is the cell doesn't close it's open so it's just four beds two beds two on the side and two

on the other side so four people but doesn't close you don't close it's open the facility it's an open facility but right 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. So I'm 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. so 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.

I've never seen that before, but they don't close. It's just open facility. Like, it's an open. Now, you can't leave and 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've 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. 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 they're like, what's your name? It's like, Armando.

Hey, Armando, how much does it? I was like, oh, bro. Oh, man. 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. I'd get really dark, right, in the summertime. So I look Mexican.

So then they're like, hey, Armando, come to you, da, nah, and I say, 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 it will. No problem. I mean, I can't talk to nobody. You can talk to somebody in there and there, 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 was involved in that stuff so i don't know they're talking about crazy stuff i don't 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 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. So Durango was, if you have no money and you're convocery, 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 figuring out later on down 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 have 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 be another meal. So you're really living in a nice guy. That's what being a nice guy and taking that charge for your buddy did. I'll bet your buddy once your buddy real. realize what was happening to you. I'll bet you he said, you know what I'm going to do?

I'm going to go and 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 border. He's 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 the money for the bond? 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 you show up you said what nobody showed up to the pizza shop i had a i had to call everybody the lawyers and then finally your lawyer told me that you were in americopa like you were down here and uh derango i was like he didn't come he didn't come he didn't come he's like no where's the car they had a lincoln navigator gave it to my dad

my dad got the porter and says lincoln navigator the guy's been driving around doing who knows what That's what I get for trying to help the guy out. And 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 why 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 they take you to 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 is 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, is 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 scumbag for everything he's done to everybody in that county. He's destroyed us mentally. elite 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 scumbaggot everybody in that county wanted the 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 them they hated the guy with a passion so I see Francisco, and I didn't look like Francisco at first, but I can remember by his face. And then he has a scar, he had 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'd be the last person I thought would be in here. And what happened? I took a cop that charge with Josh and whatever, man. And he's like, oh, my gosh, he's still hanging out with that guy, da-da-da-da. And then I was like, bro, what happened to you? 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 off 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 boos and peel them out like his whole body was just like stretching it's like 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 108 pounds but i didn't lose it healthy i lost it by almost dying i went to the hospital future 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 at least $500 on his books. Later on he sent me a letter like by the by people because he got sent somewhere else. I said, 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 I did something for you. But anyways, um, 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. Take the guilty plea. I'm like, guilty plea. I mean,

what's, what's it? What is it? What's it guilty? What does that do? What does I do for me? And then it goes, nothing. You're just going to be on probation. Jesus. Who the fuck told you that? The lawyer at the time, I had a criminal lawyer, and I had the immigration lawyer. The immigration lawyer said, it might, in mind 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 to get the sign. I don't know. So I said, Your Honor, I'm not ready to take a plea. And it's just a, it was a year probation. Your probation, unsupervised. But it's a felony.

Class six. 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 have helped the case. But they didn't tell me anything. They just said, listen to Class 6 felon. I was like, all right, whatever. So Class 6 felony, and I see all the charges. And he's like, but you're a transport, but just be possession. You'll catch possession. And that's it. And then like everything else would like the like the transport and all the other stuff, they'll 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 immigration now. So if anybody in the states has a job, 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, like, you know, hurt me inside or that I remember till today that really dramatically changed me. You know what I'm saying? So I go back to 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 um somebody get somebody comes in um

he was a pisa so pisa comes inside which is a mexican born in uh mexico he comes in and he's got some charges but nobody knows what the charges are and he doesn't have paperwork for for some reason. So everybody's like, okay, well, who's the new guy? We need, 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. 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. serious guys out there. And then, which they won't tell you anything about nothing, about who the bosses, who nothing. They just, 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. Keep delaying. It kept delaying, kept delaying his paperwork. So this stood out to me. I'll still remember till today. The guy comes in. He's just, 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, 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 on my jaw.

your ranchers or whatever bag of chips has that guy got my four items we just call them 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 caller who becomes like his messenger you know what i'm saying right and i would go in there be like yo you owe my shot caller uh i don't know this stuff but i'm mad as it is in society a couple fights in the bathroom would take my anger away you know what i mean so why not so then i'll go there, be like, hey, you got the four items? Tell you shot collar, I don't got it. All right, a shot caller, shot caller.

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, you'll 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, um, 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 uh the pices look at it and they let all the shot callers know so i'm close to the shot caller i let him 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 he's like well don't tell anybody else like don't let these other people know but that guy that just came in you right now they um 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 well what 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 you 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 the offense they got it all on record

that that's what he was there for so he's probably something like 60 or 70 percent of all the women that are that come through the the coyotes are, are assaulted? Assaulted, you know, and then that's, that's what's going on in the border. So, and then sometimes you go under the tunnel, and then they just take care of it under the tunnel because there's tunnels, and then you can go right through it.

And then once Alchopo got caught or somebody got caught, but like 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 was. 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 in 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 24 hours to do it, the Paisas, 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? 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 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 and then um they had some socks or pillow like a blanket or whatever and then they just came with blankets all the way down and then like um they put it i guess what the people saying like they stuffed this mouth with the blank and everything and then just start getting to work just non-stop 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 like you know 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. 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 matter. 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 going to lead to those guys who did it. They all caught more charges. They were in there for now they're trying, now 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 released 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 i'm gonna 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 but now finally decision gets I didn't know this, but now finally the 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 deported. 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 him. So, but they were there.

They were there watching me, just smirking, laughing, and then I'm driving away. So now I got. this deportation order i don't know nothing about it i don't feel 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 i get some of the guys from the football team we order a few bottles we drink party have fun um 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 like you know who i am type of thing and then i push him inside the knife from like oh get that get off for 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 they got involved they like yo you don't know nothing about us da da la la it was all this thing bobbing back and forth this guy leaves i'm thinking he's gone He was waiting in the back alley.

So in Old Town Scottsdale, old town Scottsdale is 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 Scottsdale. 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 setup.

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 them 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.

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 want 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? Like what? So he must be a

trained fighter. So they left. They're like, 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. He's on, they have it on video. They have it on Old Town Scottsdale video, that kick. I'm trying, 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 them? He's like, how did 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, so they, 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. There's 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 come sees me. Guess who's there. So then I'm in, I'm in jail.

And they're like, we're going to release you on this paperwork. for you to leave, just to 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 told the pizza shop, I said,

don't worry about no bond money or nothing, they're getting, they're releasing me. And my uncle goes, okay, no problem. And then, uh, soon as I walk outside, handcuffed. I look back, ice, what? I was like, what do you guys want? Like, what are you doing? They said, 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 the 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 and a fountain of drinks. They got a soccer field. 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 dumb mistakes. You know what I'm saying? I'm telling you the stuff that really stood out

because the theft one wasn't really a, that's 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 Pineal 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, I know, I know County, or they might take you to the prison. It might hold you at Kingston. It might hold you at 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 more COs. So I go, okay, I'm going to the detention center, I said, in Florence. 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. Pinell 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 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, I don't believe it 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, that's not humane. That's a joke. 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 have a choice. And then, you know, start doing some push-ups and stuff like that. they kept me in there for that 23 hours because they had me at higher level 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 they're getting tickets ready for my plane to go back to albania i didn't know that i thought that like my lawyer's 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 there 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 frenzies or like sammy or these other guys who did like what or even you i think you did what like in the whole like 23 hour i think you said a couple months in there yeah like 45 days

I think was the longest one. Crazy. I'm saying? Like, I was like, what? Like, and guys,

but the years and years. I'm like, 23 hours in. I'm like, what? So like, that's, I was in the shoe that long,

but in like a holdover, what you were in basically like a holder where it's 23 and one. Yeah. You get out once a week because you have a shower and a toilet and everything in the shoe. You don't get out at all. Well, where I was, we got out once a week.

But, um, wow. But 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, if I get in the line for the phone, there's not enough time.

15, 20 minutes. The guy's 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 how many dots were on the wall.

And some guy made a portrait of like some Al-Savidori. and, 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 stuff that I've done wrong in my life. And, like, just taking toilet and paper throw. I was losing my mind.

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, not kung fu, like, not kung fu, but like, who, yon, jou, something. Okay. So I'm like, okay, whatever. All right. The guy must be, be, Yemenis, Chinese, whatever. Okay.

It's going to 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. He's a 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 uh 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 like a bro 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 he's looking at me He goes, I don't know about this America situation, but, like, you know, but Albania, it's 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 was like 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. It's 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? And I'm like, I don't give a damn about you thinking my country is good. I don't know my country.

I came 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. 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 him, 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, that got picked up around October, November, December, January. So January, around my dad's birthday, my dad's birthday, January 4th. So I get to pour it 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'd you go from, how did you go to Canada when they were going to send you to Albania? That's what I'm going to get at with the passport. You know what I'm saying? Like, I got sent. Yeah, 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 crumb. 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 can 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 was serious he said you can go to Mexico if you want which I should have took in that I could cross 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 just can't stay here I was there you this must be a joke he's like no I'm not joking will deport you anywhere just can't stay in America I was like oh my gosh so the whole time they're waiting for my Albanian passport which I left when I was a kid so good

look finding that. So I'm trying to tell people like if they can't find your Albania 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. And 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 call them Uncle Gratchie. Uncle Gratchy, he's a guy who, he's like, you remind me of my son. And I 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 it? He goes, you're too young. He goes, once you go outside, you'll figure out who I really have, 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. You 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. 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 Alco Gratchi, 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 can 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 him, 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. He 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 Gratchie heard about it, that he was going to step in the shower. And I was like, okay. 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. He's all 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. Why don't we fight one-on-one? And I said, what's up with this shanking? They're 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. That 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 Gratchie, 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 of 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's going to get released back to california after doing 10 years he did some something over there i didn't get involved too much but he said he's 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 guys like i'm gonna die when i go back home i got tattoos all over my face i got gang tattoos i'm going al salvador i'm dying and then the officer's like that's not my problem like you're gonna die when you go back to South Salvador straight to that fucking that fucking super mac hundred thousand man supermax that they

built yeah he's like that's what i'm gonna go there i'm dying like you're like you guys are taking me to a death bad and he's like well you shouldn't have 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 on my situation i came when i was young five years old and i had fraudulent documents you know because the american would 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 try 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 what he's got bigger problems bro Yeah I know he 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 happens so he's gone for sure he was a good guy man he was a really nice guy i don't 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 had 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'm 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 there's 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, and he's looking at me, and he goes, he's like hey come what you and this and that and I go

no I don't know nothing and he goes Armando 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 so that was the whole confusion the bus starts 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 galas and go to mexico i was like no i don't want to go to

mexico take men 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 to college. There's University, Sky Harbor, Sky Harbor Airport. What? Sky Harbor, what? Airport? What am I doing at the airport? And the guys are, you're 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 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 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 uh he 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 called 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 they're strapped 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 me He'll die for me You know what I mean? But I told him I was like, I'm about to take flight

He was like, take flight where? Like, 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 to Albania

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 five years for distraction of, like you're avoiding their procedures, like everything that's set up already. 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, anyways, I get, I get the ported. I get the port. I get sent back. Now, they have no,

proof of me 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 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 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 um 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 like who are all these people i told i was like 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 hermando 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, 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.

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. Release him. He's here. He's a citizen. He's an Albanian citizen. He was born in the hospital of Tehrana. We're like, what the hell are 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 don't 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 civil or 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 man 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 lost my football career I lost everything man I was like this is ridiculous I mean what's their 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 beginning with the shooting. So now I decided to leave and then I went to Germany, tried to claim Germany like asylum over there. They don't take too many people then. 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. In 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-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 him 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. security job, I try to help out people and whatever, just to make like, what, $400 a month? I went, like, 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 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 hell hole.

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 give you wrong. You know what I'm saying? Beautiful country for like sight scene 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. I'll fuck off. And you look at the $10 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 dollars 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 um and then so 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 uh in english but this is one of 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 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, individuals are which is 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 yeah 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 trying to harm my father but my father doesn't have that name like it's a different last name so they wanted their the nephew you know me 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. 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 No, here's the official copy. So here's the, anyway, just some proof for people. This is the general of Albania. He's like the general police officer of Albania that they said 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's 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 Aguim Vasha anyways. All this says is that Armando was attacked at a certain time by the individuals. we protected them and kept them safe in custody and that's it they don't want to mention the names they 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 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 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 stoop wounds all over my body these individuals they just come that's that's the police report that we're getting at individuals come send me up i'm bleeding everywhere soaked up uh this hand i can't even uh 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 stopped 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 such an open area. They wanted to take me 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. and 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 a right and put me in like an SUV or get something bigger. It's something bigger. Anyways, so they're trying to, they're trying to get me or whatnot. And then I escaped. So I had to fall off. I just, like, I literally, there was a, 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, and that's it, life or death. I was like, who are these guys? Why are they coming after me? What's going? What's going on? here just because of a last name what's happening so security comes and they picked 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 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. You guys, that's yours? I'm thinking it's a joke. I haven't seen no, but there'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 uh i hid myself 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 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 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 like, you're going to buy the plane ticket? I'll buy the plane ticket. He'll come over here and then give me $20,000 and you can, I need to make

some money. I need to do something to secure myself to go somewhere. So anyway, they're a bunch of liars in Albania. Some people have, I'm not saying to all I'm Albanians. Don't give me wrong. I don't want them to come crashing after me. Not Albanians or 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, oh, 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 have from Maricopa County being held inside there, you know what I'm saying? And that's the full right scholar. 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, anyways, so then I leave that place as fast as I can.

My parents picked 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 going to like give this passport to somebody he's going to go somewhere give you the passport back and we're going to 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 was like i'll split with you

10 10 whatever anyways he decides he comes to albania i pick him up at the airport and uh 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 said, 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, what's going on here? Like, well, 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 was like, 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 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 pet. Overn. 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, it kind of looks like me. Let me just try it.

What's the worst that's going to happen? I'm a fuck. I'm a dead man anyways. Oh, he's a dead. 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 a 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 trick, 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 anyway. So then I told him, I'm Davis Jacobs, blah, blah, blah.

They're looking at my, the guy has like brownish, boldish, 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. So I went from Albania to Vienna to Vienna. That's what the thing says. From Albania to Vienna to Vienna to Vienna to Paris. I messed up.

I wanted to go to Luxembourg. Like I said from earlier, Luxembourg's 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 albanian like chippa chippa chippa chippa chippa chipa chipa chipa like that they would a 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 go 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 them all 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 do 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. 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. I'm hopping on the plane. She's still like, no, 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 uh there 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 in interrogation room for hours like why did you play football okay what happened why did 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 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 oh well plane has been interrupted I'm like oh my god they got me but no

how to do with something else plane goes 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,

done or not. 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, but I forgot the individual's name. I told the name of the person, he said, it doesn't look like me. They took me into interrogation room. They asked me a bunch of questions. And then I even told,

I was that, confident like you have to have confidence when you're doing this kind of stuff and like with any crime you do you 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 the point he was like calm down davis it's all right mar you're leaving you got a plane hilarious i wish they had the camera over there so anyways I come over here to Canada

and 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 I know you're David 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 me he got busted with uh he got busted

with the steroids he was a big steroid user so i was trafficking of 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 i'm 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, shit, 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, a 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 that? 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. a lot to work in Canada, about everything. So they give you this piece of paper, release you, and then that's it, have a nice 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 didn't 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 for a long 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 that you was going Jacob. 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.

like i don't know how it happened if you facebook everything we look different it's weird like we we don't 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 the embassy that's the whole report that they write down that he used uh davis jaco's passport to come here he was attacked by these individuals um 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 all 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 um i went to jail so that's the funny part so i landed i come to can't see canada It's amazing. First time ever. I could 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 deported 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 that the charges weren't severe. Right? And then they released me on a refugee silo. 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, work. And then a few problems happen. And of course, problems always occur, right? 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. I said, but why Windsor? I don't know. That's where my uncle lives. Why are you asking me with him? 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'm 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 couldn't use 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 been working and been working. But then I caught that a solid 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, I did a little bit of time.

So now I got, and I got, and 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 change in jail looks like. The food here is not so bad, three meals a day. So three meals a day is not bad. Good meals, big meals. The only problem is, it's different from the States. The CEOs here are messed up.

They kill inmates. So it's all over the news. I think I send you the article as well. Right. Yeah, there was, he was affiliated to a biker, let you 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, shift 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 takes time. For me, it's taken 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 Canada, then why you hear that? And then you can't do nothing to these guys because they're allowed to do it, according to the police. That's a terrorist attack from burning the flag and saying death to Canada.

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're going. We 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 escaped your country and that's it you know 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 um the all the hotels down in Windsor were we're covered where we're 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 these special 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 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 how much you want to kiss the floor, Canada or America. They're two of the best countries, you know what I'm saying? I 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. 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 starting all over again anyways go to a local nightclub um some

individuals didn't like the 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 car. They dropped on the ground.

But like they stuck 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 what are you doing? I'm hearing a refugee claim.

Okay, no problem. You're going to exit a road. Exeter 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 fight. Two of them got picked up. We all got picked up for assault. by disturbing the peace honoring death threats and assault you know

and then I think one of them had a weapon so solid a weapon doesn't 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 stop nobody. 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 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.

and 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 seen you throw the blow i 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 110%. 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 a sexual like assault you know i'm saying he's in there right now didn't 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 she got aggressive throwing stuff told the cops that he came over here and forced himself inside the house

pours himself inside his own home and then try 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 times. I don't like to put hands on women. I'm not like that because I'm like, Albanian and most, 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.

She, he has the right to defend himself. He gets to jail. It doesn't matter. Here, for women, forget about it. You're automatically at fault if you're trying to start a fight with a woman. You're trying to start a fight with a woman. You're gone. You're trying to start a fight with a man.

You're both in trouble. All right. So, I get it. All right. So you're in jail. So they bring you down there. Yeah, they take you down to Maricopa County. Oh, to Maricopa County.

I'm still stuck in my head. Exeter Road. I'm still speaking of a shared droplet in a place that's stuck in my head. It's got me nightmares.

Anyways, they took me down to, uh, um, Exeter Road. I'm thinking, okay, whatever. I've been to jail in the States, it's whatever, like, what are they going to do?

And I was defending myself. 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 assured you. Assured you 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 families. 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, oh, and then everybody saw howl, like, oh, that means the wolves are going to get you. And then the seal would 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. As soon 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 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 at PC, protected 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 stopped and beat the individual. And the next person next door to him heard him say, please stop, please 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 jackets. kids. But anyways, 2,000 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. We're talking about the COs killing you. So it's just, it's corrupt, man. It's corrupt. 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's 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 or four months as soon as i got out and i thought i took everything to trial i've i've had

three charges in canada and i took them all to trial and i beat them all i beat all the 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. Like, I didn't know it was going to be that crazy, but, like, them killing one of my, like, these, like, good friends is you know them from a long time, you know? Can't say I grew up with the guy. But partying, hanging out, you know, a guy that's well known around the community. After seeing him, he'd be 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 come there for that? You don't even know. There was no proof. There was nothing, just to go, guys, you ready? Owl? Everybody started outling, we're ready to go. Then so the door's open, take him straight to the shower. So just a straight corrupt jail messed up, you know, the Maplehurst 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 kinfoes chicanos there's no 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 uh immigrants coming in they have i live next to a guy it's all over the news as well he uh he ran over a family and a whole indian family just because he didn't liked them. And I lived next to the guy. I never knew he was like that. But one day I made a comment. I said, uh, we were doing laundry. You know, the apartments have one laundry that you everybody has to go? I see them walking at the apartment complex. And this is on for anybody wants to look, 34 covered marketplace in London, Ontario. And then, uh, the individual, I say, Salam al-a-a-a-a-com to him, you know? He said, he says, salama, salama, what? I said, salam al-a-a-a-a-a-a-ha. You know, what?

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, Salekam Sakak or something like that. I said, what? I said, what, he just said it like a rude, disrespectful way. Salekam Sakak.

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 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? It's 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. And you've murdered somebody 10 years is maximum. So it's totally different, totally different from the States. 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 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 with some stocks I like to how long you've been doing the the pizza shop and the coffee shop oh since I came to Canada I worked like that I owned I owned it 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. Believe it or not, they were 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 had 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

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 Hefebvre. Have for the dawn. If you want to search it up, hopefully get some subscribers. A lot of people in Canada are helping me out the best they can to try to get a platform.

And I just want to get that message around for all the immigrants that are going to be, don't take things for granted, granted, you know. Be happy where you're at. because the place you're going to go is not going to be what you think it is. So you'd be happy where you're at and love the country that you're at and be a hard working citizen. And that's the best you can do. All the other BS, leave that to the side.
