Hi, I'm Jean Chatsky. You may know me as the host of the Her Money podcast or the financial editor of NBC's Today Show for 25 years.
It started with a scream inside a quiet Maryland home.
A mother trying to protect the family dog and her son in the grip of a violent hallucinogenic rage. By the time it was over, she was dead, and he claimed LSD made him do it. His name, David Minor IV, and we talked to him. Listen to Invisible Choir every other week as we uncover the most haunting true crimes you've never heard of, available wherever you get your podcasts.
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 Tirana. That's a place in Albania. And this is where the story leads to after
After the whole situation. So I gotta I gotta 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 it was a communist time. So communist time in Albania 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 gonna name him Armando and that's gonna 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 I
If you look at pictures at the 1990, they brought down the wall or the Albanian wall was taken down by like a tank and a bunch of people. My uncle was involved in that. So they took down the embassy wall to escape Albania. So some went to Germany, some went to America. Wait, so you have to understand not everybody knows what you're talking. You're talking about the Soviet Union had collapsed. Yes, yes, yes. The wall that was separating what?
Albania at the time had a wall that separated that you cannot leave. You cannot go to the embassies. You cannot escape at all. You can airlines or nothing, but there's a wall. There's a wall that led to the embassies like the American embassy, the German embassy and everything. So there was a wall protecting it that you cannot pass that wall.
We're kind of like the wall in what? Separating what? West and East Germany, where at one time, like all the walls started coming down, right? Yes. Yes, they started when Albania came down. Yeah. So 1990 is when I was born. And then like literally months after that, that's when they decided to take down the wall with the tank. And they have like images on there where the tank goes through there. So my uncles were involved in that. Two of my uncles, Arthur and Narben,
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, um, trying to escape, you know, to try to escape the communists. 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, 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 themself in, they close it down. And then that's what happened. So then, um, after that never saw my uncle again after later on down the road. So embassy, it's done.
They ended the communist era. They decided to open up everything. So like the 1990s after that Albania was allowed, but there was still like war with Kosovo, Serbia, and they had a lot of situations. Okay. I was just born. So I don't know too much of a lot of the stuff. All I know is that I'm going to bring some of the parts that play a major role in my life. There's a lot of stuff that happened in my life, but I'm going to bring the parts that made a major role that made me the person I am today.
or turn 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, I'll come out with the ones that made a difference in my life. Okay. So now my uncle at that time, he went to Italy, but got deported. I don't know what he did, had some situations in Italy at the point they deported them. So he came back. This was the uncle that's currently in Arizona and owns a pizza shop.
doing good now, you know, change his life around. But at the time he was probably the worst of them all. And it's funny because you got the other uncle who's big, tough, huge, you know, bigger guy and you and everybody in the family is tall. Like we got genetics of being big and tall and whatever. And then this uncle is the shortest one, but the scariest and the deadliest of them all. So everybody looks at him. It's like this one, he's the one. So yeah, he's the one. So,
That uncle had a situation with a family back in the day, but it wasn't really a situation. This family is really well known in Albania. They were kind of mob related bandits. If you want to call it, they would just go around and they would just go to any business and say, Hey, you owe us money. We're going to protect your business. We're going to defend you guys. Nobody's going to come and mess with you.
Here's how much money you need to pay us monthly. You know what I mean? So kind of corruption, kind of like the mafia did back in the day in New York or whatnot. That's what happened in Albania 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, a little small coffee shop, sold a burek. We had burek and baklava, kind of some Albanian 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 barisha family okay so the barishas 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 barisha sal barisha has a really bad record albania for corruption and everything else so that's funny how the bandits and for some reason the prime minister
Same name, Berisha, but always said that they never were related to one another. They never had no, it was just different names or same last name, but they have no connection at all. 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 hard headed. That's why he got deported from Italy. He's just one of those type of guys and he didn't, it doesn't take no for an answer. He's just a very hard headed 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, uh, your shop's not going to be here no more. And then, um, 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 then you'll say, 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 who 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. Uh, one of them was paralyzed and that's the person that has a problem. So today he's paralyzed from the waist down. He's like, uh, 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 in Doris. It's just a place outside where we kind of like it's where the beach is and everything is a tourist attraction. A lot of people might have visited Albania and went to Doris. So he said I'm a relocate. Well, it's not that easy. These people have connections everywhere. There's no chance to relocate.
So what I remember is, I don't remember it physically. I remember the noises. I remember the noises and I remember the crying, the screaming and everything. We were in the car. Uncle was 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.
individual 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 on we don't know what 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 they when the cop showed up seven to eight gunshots one of them was literally
I say about an inch, two inches to my head. So my mom's carrying me at the time, right? And she's holding me. And then from the shots of where it went, they looked at it and it 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, hard headed, does not take
After that, he said, I can't believe they would do that. They shouldn't shoot up, you know, the family with the kid inside. They didn't know who was inside. They just knew my uncle was inside. He was driving the vehicle at the time. So anyways, they decided to capture my mother. Captured my mother and took her to an area like up in the mountaintops of like Skoda. 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 worse. Uh, you know, where's my sister? She said, I haven't seen her. She says she was going to grocery shopping. I told you guys stay together. What the hell are you guys doing? So anyways, my father said, let me look into it and see what happens. I guess the people at 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 off for what he did with paralyzing the individual. Right. So anyways, at that point,
Remember crying and saying where's mom where's mom has been a good thing 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's kind of a trade-off the mother for my sister Anything happens. That's how it's gonna be. We're both gonna lose somebody
So they made they made an even trade-off my uncle came back at that point from germany things got serious they made an even trade-off and um 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 was done. Well After that mark was like we got to make a move. We gotta get out here. This is getting serious You know, these guys are gonna keep coming back at me because I paralyzed one of them and they need to get back at me anyways, he got
Passport situated. I don't know what he did on his end, but he got a passport situated and he went to America. 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 called him 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. But that was in time. In America, it's very difficult with immigration. It takes a long time. It's not as fast.
As other countries is but at that point we needed to go we needed to figure something out I mean he left so he left us some money behind My father got a visa and my father went to America with a visa at that point. He got everything situated He got us like an apartment and he said now it's time for you guys to come My uncle in Germany situated a way for us to come to America
I've been using Mando's whole body deodorant and let me tell you, you can use it anywhere. Pits, balls, thighs, and even your feet. Mando's powered by mandelic acid, so it stops odor before it even starts. It blocks odor all day.
It started with a scream inside a quiet Maryland home. A mother trying to protect the family dog and her son in the grip of a violent hallucinogenic rage. By the time it was over, she was dead. And he claimed LSD made him do it.

and then you pay somebody and then you can make it. And the best place to go to was Luxembourg. Luxembourg is one of the top places where you can just go to another country and there's no patrol. There's not a lot of investigation. There's not a lot of people there. So that's what me and my mom did. We got everything ready. We packed up. We needed to go see. I was like, where's dad? Where did he go? He's in America. We got to go to America. We got to hurry up. So from Albania,
To uh, what was it germany picked up the passports stayed there for a few days with my uncle and then straight to uh The airport of uh, 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 kennedy? Is it latordia in in new york? Anyway, yeah What are the airports and and and new york and I and then my mom said that they caught us in new york actually
caught us and they said, these passports don't look, but I was crying. My mom was crying and the individual let us go. He was like, you know what? Just go figure it out. I don't know what's going on, but everybody's crying and something's happening here. So you guys can go ahead. Like he really didn't take a really good look at anything to be honest with you. He just saw the name and, and saw how sad we were and then let us proceed. After that stayed a couple of 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
40 000 because we're going to the us 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 uh, what is it my space at the time and he was on vacation He's 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 is sick
And I'm like, okay, well, maybe he didn't put everything in the system, right? At least he got his job done. No, that day. I remember clearly that was the first time I ever went to immigration ice facility holding. I'm like 13 years old, ready to go to school. And then I have football that day. And I see a bunch of cops outside the house. And I said, what are these, you know, all black with the ice with the ice logo on? I'm like, dad,
Who are these people? My dad's like, I don't know. And he said, what's going on here? He said, we have nothing in the system. You have an ice hold on you and we got to take you downtown. So I don't know nothing about this. You know what I'm saying? My dad's like, okay, so me, right? You're taking me? 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 were born in America.
I guess I'm the lucky one, right? I'm the one who had to face everything. But I always say to myself, I'd rather be me than them. I'll never wish what I went through to, uh, 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, um,
Picked me up picked up my dad. My mom didn't my mom didn't pick her up because she was pregnant at the time Okay So we try to say she's pregnant. She's pregnant like come on like she's not gonna go anywhere. She's gonna 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 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'm in Canada and it's colder than Canada. Okay. That's how cold it was in there. So first time being in jail, 13 years old, what's going on here? I'm like, you know, what's, what, what, what, what do I do? Why, why am I in this case? Can I get out? Like, I'm like, can I get out? My dad's like, just, just calm down, relax. We're trying to figure it out. We got to call the lawyer, blah, blah, blah. Anyways, that lawyer that
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 your 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 the lawyer was making excuses. Oh,
I sent it in not on time because of my mother and she was sick, but don't worry. I'm going to get everything. So he did like before five o'clock, he submitted something in there. It was probably some BS. He didn't do a good job, but he submitted something in the paperwork in the system. So the officers were waiting. We're waiting and said, I guess we contact your lawyer. You got something in the system. There's something pending now and we're going to release you soon. I was like, okay.
But if he didn't, I would be going to wherever the underage holding is. And then my dad would have went to Florence or Eloy. Those are the two places out there in Arizona that they keep you. So anyways, I get out. After that, we celebrate. We think that, you know, our lawyer did a good job. We go out there and have a dinner, have a good time. We're thinking it's all over. The lawyer took care of it.
So anyways after that I continue my life right football Good kid i'm talking about didn't drink anything since after high school just focused on football 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 ride scholarship to uh, Like glendale community college at the time
full life scholarship for football for Glendale Community College, which later on led to, um, hopefully getting, but I had to pay half of my money, but to go to Arizona State University, right? So football's going well. Glendale accepted me, was working on my 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 oven your whole life or become a professional football player. You've got no other choices. So I was like, all right, I guess football is the way to go because I'm not trying to do anything else. So after that, just that's it. Just I found I found a woman found love with her. She was my first like my first love kind of thing. And then she was Colombian.
We were together the whole entire time. Everything was going great. You know, family was working. This is, you're still in college. No, this is high school. This is high school. Okay. This is high school. This is high school. So 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 don't talk about girlfriend, work, home, work to the pizza shop, make good money.
They didn't engage in parties, anything like that, because at the time in Arizona, we had a big problem with, uh, they were called Somas. Somas was kind of like, uh, uh, Somas was kind of like, uh, how do you want to say it? Like an oxy kind. So everybody got involved in the Somas and it was all coming over the border. Then everybody got into, and this was Anthem, Arizona, all throughout Arizona at this time, but Anthem where I was at,
I hit hard with it because there's a lot of like well off kids that can afford it. So they can afford to buy this stuff. So a lot of people, you're talking about wealthy people. They thought their kids were doing well. They're giving their kids money to her school, $40, $50. They would go buy some black tar and go to a friend's house and do whatever they do. Like put it on the aluminum foil and, and, um,
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 ridiculous. What are you guys doing? Everybody's falling asleep. It'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 hit hard. It was coming all through the border of Mexico. And then they would come over there and they just blacked out. That was the thing back then.
And um lost a lot of friends through it, you know a lot of friends I can name them harlem plass and um Sloan got involved and a lot of good friends. They they got into it. Some of them got clean Some of them didn't make it, you know, so anyways at that time Like I said football School work football school work dad was very strict with me. They didn't want me to go out They didn't want me to do anything. He said the night is the devil's night
You never want to go outside after, you know, once you see the sun or once you see the sun go down, the night comes up. That's the devil's night. If you want to play with the devil, be outside. I don't play with no devil. I'd rather go inside. So that's what I did. Stay inside the entire time. Now, what was it? 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 that time I got two brothers and a sister And they're like they're asking me every day. Where's mom? Where's that? Where's mom? Where's that? So i'm like this is getting you know, it's getting emotional. But what happened was is um
They found a fraudulent document at the 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 again, they said one of the stamps was fraudulent. And this is all on Google. If they look up Arturo Lago, the US Supreme Court, and then the denial that he didn't get accepted because of a fraudulent document. So at that time, immigration calls and ICE
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, uh, the ice facility and Phoenix, like just those random, they called them and they said the next day, can you come to, and it might not this time, my dad has a business. He's got a couple of Americans working for him employees. He's got, you know, it's a point in his head. We can never be like, we're not going to get deported. Like there's no way we're going to get deported. He started buying a house. He started, you start, I'll say, why are you doing that? And my uncle kept telling them, don't do that until you officially,
Get your documents. But in his head, he's an already American citizen. You know what I'm saying? And in my head, I'm an American citizen because I don't know what's going on. I just think I got accepted to playing football. I got accepted to this. I'm an American citizen. You know what I'm saying? So what happened was they said the next day come down to just for an interview. He said, I have a lawyer. Why would I come down for an interview? Contact my lawyer. The lawyer says,
Uh, something happened with your Supreme court, uh, paperwork. You got to go down there. He said, what's the, what's the, what is it? What are you doing? Like 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 combined immigration and criminal, but immigration mostly they don't care.
They don't even know. They'll open up a law firm and they'll say, this is for immigration, but we do everything. If a lawyer says we do everything, we do criminal, immigration, divorce and all this. If they say they do everything, they don't do none of it. They're just trying to get your money. If they say we specifically work with, you know, immigration, we specifically work with divorce courts, then you could trust them. But once you know that they all 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 the 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, a lot of families in general. So just imagine how many families this guy destroyed. Separating kids from their parents. And that's what leads to you becoming somebody different when you lose your family. Not physically losing them, but not having them every day. Because at that time I'm playing football, I'm having everything.
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 we'll put on speaker. He said, your wife needs to come down here. We need to speak with her. You got to do some fingerprints and it's nothing. It's nothing big. It's just a couple of fingerprints. And my dad doesn't know English that well that time, you know, he's barely, he's barely learning English. He worked at a pizza shop. So he knows, hi, how are you? What kind of pizza pepperoni cheese, mushroom, green pepper? He knows like the basic words, right?
but he doesn't know like perfect English. So he just believes the officers and he says, okay, well you gotta come down here, get in your vehicle, come down. And then, um, he goes, okay, but I'm gonna bring Armando or, um, to translate for us to do what's going on. I said, okay, I'll come with you. I hopped in the car with my mother. We went straight down to a immigration ice facility. Um,
At this whole time, the lawyer was telling us that something was not right, that they might deny your claim, but don't worry, I can push it. But I was 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 he would have told us that, we would have known that there's no way. We would have kept the money and probably just went back to Albania the right way.
And then, uh, and then just fought our way to come back to the country since he has us citizen kids, you know what I mean? So we would have saved a bunch of cash, but he never told us that he just said, don't worry. It's just, this is how the policy works. You just, you just gotta go down there for the interview, but it's okay. Nothing's going to happen. Okay. Nothing's going to happen. Listen to the lawyer. We go down there. My mother walks in at this time. She has diabetes. She has anxiety, depression. It's all at having her like, uh,
My brother so my or uh, yeah my brother she went through some or uh, She had the baby she went through a hard time so 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 i'm saying she's not she's not like a horrible person or freaks out or does anything crazy She's 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 gonna happen. Soon as they walk in, 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 was okay. Okay, you're coming down there for an interview. Well, you should really, what the officer said,
Exactly was you should really know who your lawyer is and be careful and what lawyers to choose If that's what you know, 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 stuffs in the system. I was like, no, they're in handcuffs
And at this time, he told us something was 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 approve. Canada's more lenient. They're more accepting towards people. And 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, file 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 uh, I got american uh, uh Americans working for me. I'm helping the country I'm paying taxes. There's no way no way i'll get the afforded no way up. All right, whatever but 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 US 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 he 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 have three chances to appeal your paperwork. And then the last one is the US 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.
I do not give the guy any more money. Don't listen to me. I'm just trying to help out. But there's no nothing left. The ninth circus said you're getting deported. You're getting deported. So anyways, they get handcuffed. My mother faints. 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 e-law, but they're in like low, you know, very low, low, because they never did anything, but that 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, can to camp. They, they hold you in a camp. Um, at this time I got explained to all the kids, what's going on with the family.
Luckily we have this uncle that was a bad man at the time But changed his life around good thing he did and he kind of took care of the kids, you know He stepped he stepped up as an uncle, which that's great because at that time I couldn't take care of myself You know what? I mean, let alone take care of two kids How am I supposed to take care of how am I supposed to make this money? What am I supposed to do? You know and my purpose was
football pizza shop so after that forget about football time 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 immigrate 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 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.
Can I stay here with you because you're going through a tough time to go to Florida? I said, you know what? I already lost my parents, like they're gone, 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. How would I keep you here? Something happens to me and then you held back your dream. Your dream was to become a nurse. You found an amazing scholarship to Florida and uh,
Got the name. But anyways, that's a nice school in Florida for nursing. They're well known over there to become a doctor, which now she's a heart surgeon and everything, and she's making great money and, uh, should have married her. But anyways, they didn't have a choice on that end because what happened was that's the era. Here's how it escalated. So anyways, now she's gone. Kiss, kiss, goodbye. We see each other a couple of 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, uh, 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 get in your business. It never works out. It's very rare that you'll have a long distance relationship work. So she ends up finding a doctor and that's Colombian, not Albanian, speaks her language.
knows how to be romantic and nice at that time. I'm drinking every day and I'm a mess. My family's deported. I'm angry at the world. She find this doctor. There you go. So I ended up losing her to the Colombian doctor that I wish him the best. Now, you know what I mean? They got kids and everything. They're married. This was what? 12 years, 14 years ago. So anyways, it's all done. So she's out of the picture. Family's out of the picture.
Now I'm starting hanging out with individuals I shouldn't be hanging out with. And we're driving one day to the pizza shop. This was the last time I had the pizza shop because after that I did three months in Maricopa County in Durango. So I was in Durango at the time. How old are you?
Uh, that's um, so 2009 I graduated 09 the school, uh, yeah class of 09 and um 1920 so around 1920 years old and uh Yeah, and at least so deportation was 2012 2012 was deportation Yeah, so then um
Anyways, right after that, I had to take care of the pizza shop. My dad said, take care of the pizza shop. Football's over. Forget about it. You're hurt. I hurt my knee. I hurt everything. That was another thing. I lost the love of my life. Then I lost the love of my life. I'm in high school, right? But that's what I'm thinking. She's the love of my life. We were planning on 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.
I got a full like a full knee surgery I needed to do. I'm like, this is ridiculous. I can't even play football no more. My dad said, you're hurt. Go to the pizza shop. I need you to the pizzeria. We need to make some money. My dad tried. He left. I don't know what happened. He left with like 150,000 to Albania, which is a lot of money. Albania is a poor country. You know, like, I mean, we're talking about police officers in Albania get $500 a month. Right.
You know what I'm saying? The president gets like $2,000. Like there's no money in Albania. So, but he tried to open up a restaurant. He's thinking that he can open up restaurants. He thinks he can do it like the American style way. So he opened up Armando's pizza and he opened up a car wash. Then he opened up another pizza shop like New York style best pizza.
These people didn't care. You know me what kind of pizza shop name or you from the states or whatever They wanted like can you put me on your list? Can you put me on your list? I don't have any money. Can you put me on your list? so so in Albania is very corrupt and then Like not gonna corrupt. Yes, but not a lot of people have money. So it's more giving giving giving giving right? So my dad give more than he can Then he can make and he ended up closing all these shops. So all this hunt like hundred fifty thousand
I 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, um, me and a friend of mine, he likes to smoke his Kush. He liked good 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 involved. He was just, uh, he worked at the fryers. 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 Kush and that's it. Officer pulls us over, knows follows. He knows the individual and he's following us. I said, why does it looks like an under comfort? And he was 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 to myself like, like, yo, what are you doing, man? He's like, nothing, nothing like, you know, they might say something about the Kush. I'm like, it's not, it's like, that's like an, not even an ounce. It's nothing. It's not a big deal. Anyways, he goes, whatever, just drive slow, blah, blah, blah. Be calm. Okay.
Anyways, lights go on. They ended up finding them. Of course, what's going on here? Do you have any in the car? Um, 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. Sounds like I don't know what's in the car at your car. How do you not know what's inside of it? He's doing the light thing. This, this, this idiot puts it like right in the back seat. So the cop looks at it like he goes,
Oh, what's that bag over there in the back? Hey, I don't know. Do we have the right to check or we got to get a warrant to go inside the vehicle? You know, this is the first time that, you know, I'm getting, I'm getting pulled over by a cop and getting into this criminal thing, right? No, I'm not used to it. It was all football school work. Good kid, right? So I'm like, all right, whatever. It's like, yeah, I didn't know any 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 whose is this? So somebody had to take the charge, you know i'm saying somebody had to say it's mine So you think 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 gotta take this bro, please I'm going I'll be going in for like two to three years. I'm gonna be doing some time. That's not my third fourth offense I'm on probation everything. I'm like what you tell me other stuff now You say 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 the port and everything. Everything's a mess. I don't care. What's the worst? What's gonna happen?
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 the charges. The spirit of yours pulls me over to the side, talks to me. This is all on Google and everything. They got me for up.
possession of trafficking and then like resisting arrest because I didn't want to go in the cop car. I'm claustrophobic. I'm like, bro, I'm not getting that car. It's too small. So they got me for resistant arrest and all this BS, right? So after that, he goes, I'm like, what is it? I'm getting arrested. And he goes, yeah, you are. I mean, it's a serious charge. I'm like, what? What's serious charge? I'm looking at my buddy. My buddy's like, well, don't worry. Like, don't worry. It's nothing. You'll be out right away.
My car whatever man just call my uncle tell him to get me out. Oh 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 did the fingerprints and all that?
An officer told me, he's like, why would you do that? Why would you do that, man? Like, we know you work at the pizza shop. We've been to the pizza shop. We've got slices from over there. Like, why would you do that for your buddy? I'm like, what are you talking about, man? That's my stuff. They're trying to get me to say something. That's my stuff, man. You know what I mean? I smoke it once in a while. But 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 not anymore But just alcohol alcohol was my downfall. I mean and especially my parents being deported It was like a bottle a 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 I 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 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, and I feel the pain go away, right. Then I'm going through at the time. So anyways, buddy drives the car to my uncle. My uncle's got to come down to America to get me out.
He can't get me out because of Well, first of all, he does 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 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
Going to trial, sometimes they'll hold you in there and then you gotta complete. You gotta wait for the day of trial. It can be a stupid, it can 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 ruins 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.
You came with them. Like, no, man, I'm an American citizen. They say, no, you're not. They kept arguing the whole entire time. They kept laughing at me. They're like, no, you're not, man. Like, get the heck out of here. You're not. So they, they segregate you. So in Maricopa County, now that's the first time we go to jail. So there's 10 city, 10 city at that time is getting run by Sheriff Joe Pio. Sheriff 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 two, $3 million. This guy lives in a $3 million home and he's a sheriff. So they finally caught up to him. And if you look them up, he's got a bunch of charges, but this guy has you wearing pink handcuffs, pink underwear, pink thermals. If it's cold pink, everything he tries to make you like, like you want you to wear pink.
to degrade you, you know, to make you lower than yourself. And he has a hot box outside in 10 city that you go inside this hot box and then the air hits down. So it's even hotter when you get in. It's already hot as it is in Arizona, but you get inside this hot box and that's punishment. You're allowed to stay there a week maximum, but you get fed through it and it's like a cell, but it's a hot box. So the sun hits it and it's super hot inside.
So that's like some severe punishment with 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 don'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. I 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? Everybody, everybody 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, cause 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 is even worse. This place is awful when you need Durango.
What is Durango? Another jail or is it an ICE facility? No, Durango. So this is jail because I got an ICE 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, how about this case? Everybody's telling me they're like, dude, you got an ice hole. You got to fight this case, but you got to be discharged so you can get the, you can get the ice hole. Exactly. Or, or, well the ice hole that yet will be dismissed. And then you got to contact a lawyer to try to figure out another way. Cause 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 a, an adoption where my uncle adopted me. You know what I'm saying? So they thought that, so it was a quick little move. We paid some money and then my uncle adopted me. So I was adopted to an American citizen. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. So they're trying to figure out that part because they've messed up in the past where they deported people and they messed up and they brought them back out right away, paid for their ticket and everything.
And the person find 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. And, but they don't care. They're waiting for that plea. Take the guilty plea. Now we got something else. Your parents were deported.
And now we got that you were you got to charge it now finally in america, you see what i'm saying And um, I go to durango so i'm just gonna give you like parts of like, you know some stuff because I see a lot of jail stuff, you know on your um 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. Wherever you are There's the woods
What is it? There's the woods, the kinfos. The woods are white, kinfos black. Pisces are Mexicans born in Mexico. Chicanos are Mexicans born in America. And then the others, which is Cambodians and Jamaicans, others, and whatever you want to call them. You know what I mean? But you go in Jamaican, I'm going to be a kinfo. Okay, so those are it. 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, uh, noodles and, and, uh, crackers and, uh, you know, all kinds of stuff. They take good care of you when you go inside there, right?
And then the other one gives me a nice little dagger. I'm like, I don't need this. What do I need this for? I'm like, what do I need this for? And he goes, you might need it. I'm like, no, man, I'm a big guy. I play football. It doesn't matter in there. You know, the 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 gotta go meet the chief. And I'm like, all right, what the, what is that? He's a, the shock collar. I'm like, all right. So I go meet the shock collar and then, um, some biker guy with a, with a mullet, big mullet, you know, he was buzzed up and then, um,
He looks at me, he's like, finally goes a wood with some size on them. All you woods out here, all you guys look like meth addicts. He's like, finally we got somebody with some size. And then I was like, all right, whatever. It's like, so I guess you're the shock collar. You're supposed to give me something. I'm supposed to tell me some informant. Here's the rules. We don't engage with the, with the kinfos. We don't engage with the Pisces. 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 shock collars of the kinfos and all that and I was like okay all right no problem uh shower up you know boom boom shower up and then uh and then go to uh go to your room or go to the place that you're you're you're situated I think it was like b4 so I was on b4 but the worst place the worst thing about the rango is the cell doesn't close it's open
So it's just four beds, two beds, two, two on the side and two on the other side. So four people, but doesn't close. You don't close. It's open. It's an open facility, but there's a time after nine o'clock, nobody gets out unless you got to go use the bathroom. You can log 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 to 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. I was like, all right. And they're like, Hey, you got to keep a lookout for tonight. I'm like, are you serious, man? So I'm waiting over there and I just wait the whole entire time until everybody wakes up.
And you just got to keep a lookout for nobody to go in your room. They don't close. That's, 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. We call it an open bay in the, where you've got walls, but there's no door. You got like a half wall, half wall. Perfect. Exactly what you said. It's half wall. So I'm like, okay, well,
I don't know what's gonna happen. So I just keep a lookout Nothing happens. I get sleep during the daytime next day buddy takes over Um jamaican guy just came there I guess he was an immigrant and I got along with everybody and the name being armando. It's mexican So it's like everybody thought I was mexican. So the they're saying what's your name was like? Armando is armando. Hey armando. Como estas? I was like yo bro and oh man
Albania albania. I didn't gave up after that because everybody thought I was mexican, you know And then I had like a tan from playing football. I get really dark right summertime. So i look mexican So then uh, they're like hey armando. How are you? All right, so I got along I always get along with all the mexicans I 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 gonna do shot 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 say you can talk to somebody in there and that but Not all day. Yeah, you know the mexicans all day like we don't do that around here That's all right, so I gotta hang out these guys but I got no conversation with them at least with the mexicans we can talk about stuff that you know, like I got Conversation because that that's what i'm down with on the outside. You know what i'm saying, right? So
What the other you know the woods they were just on Math 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 they're talking about crazy stuff. 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 web, small TV that everybody watches. It's a very, very small TV, like super small, but that's our TV. And what channel do you think they put it on? What, the Spanish channel? The food channel. Food channel? Okay. They put on the food channel to show you how amazing, delicious dishes that they have on the outside. Right. That you're not eating.
So the Rango was if you have no money in your conversary You're dead you're gonna die from starvation Thank you. They feed you in the morning six 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 uh Yeah, there you go I guess you know So then uh hooch so they make their hooch with that stuff and then uh
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 i'm looking at these trays all day and that's what you get at night time i'm like i gotta live on peanut butter and slop
That's what being a nice guy and taking that charge for your buddy did. I'll bet your buddy, once your buddy realized what was happening to you, I'll bet you he said, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to go 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?
Cause he's a good buddy. That buddy I haven't even spoke to after I got deported. You're not even, uh, not even, uh, not even, uh, what happened to you? Where you at? I actually contacted him and all I said, you didn't put money on your books when you were locked up. What about, what about the money for the bond? But that's it. Yeah, that's, 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 called 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 pulled out I said that uh, did my buddy come to my buddy josh? Show up You said what nobody showed up to the pizza shop? I had to I had to call everybody the lawyers and then finally your lawyer told me that you were in americopa like you were down here in a durango
I was like, he didn't come. He didn't come. He was like, no, where's the car? They had a Lincoln Navigator, gave it to my dad. My dad got the Porter. It says Lincoln Navigator. The guy's been driving around doing who knows what. And that's what I get for trying to help the guy out. But I finally contacted him years later. I said, thanks for that charge, bud. And he 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.
Peanut butter and jelly. So we're fighting for bread. Basically bread's keeping you alive bread. That's it bread. You gotta Get as much bread as you can as much carbs as you can in your body So as i'm going to court now, they chain you up boom boom get everything chained up And then take you to courthouse This is where I realized if I don't get out of here, i'm gonna have some problems because
Either I'm going to die from starvation or something's going to happen because I ran into a fellow, Francisco. I haven't seen Francisco in years and I said, and he was going to the same thing because he's Mexican. He's got an ice hold and he's going to get deported to Mexico. So I finally, I'm looking at him. He's like skinny. Francisco was 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 and he's just a rotten and he deserves what he got, but he still didn't get nothing. Like it just what, you know, he's in, he lived his whole life. He enjoyed it with all the money he made. They didn't give me any punishment, but it's a straight scumbag. Everybody in that County.
Wanted to hands on Sheriff Joe Pio. He came there to visit a couple of 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 then I can remember by his face and then he has a scar and a scar right here from back in the day. And I'm like Francisco and he's like Armando.
What the fuck is it? What are you doing here, man? You'll be the last person I thought would be in here and what happened I think I copped that I'm charged with Josh and whatever man. He's like, oh my gosh, you're still hanging out that guy and then we just I said, bro What happened to you and he goes, what do you mean? What happened to me? Look and I'm like, dude, the guy is a hundred and eighty pounds 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 gonna lose you know 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 boobs and Peel them out like his whole body was just like stretching
I had my uncle put money on my books and I made sure I got his number to put some money on his books.
Like at least $500 on his books later on he sent me a letter like by the by people because he got sent somewhere else Bro, I love you. Thank you very much. You don't have to do that. I was like bro eat something He has no family all of his families in Mexico. They had nobody to put nothing into me. I mean nobody knew he was locked up so Anyways, I hope that helped them out Francisco. I hope that 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 get me out They're like, you got an ice hold Just take the guilty plea. I'm like guilty plea. I mean, what's what's a good? What is it? What's a guilty plea? What does that do? What does it do for me? Does it goes nothing? You're just gonna be on probation Who the fuck told you that the lawyer at the time I had a criminal lawyer and I had uh, and I had the immigration lawyer
Immigration lawyer said it might, it might not do nothing. Like, um, the criminal charges are now like two years or three years. It's not like a severe case. So it might, it might not affect immigration. And I'm like, will it affect immigration or am I not? Anyways, I said, let me think about it. I'm not ready to get the sign. I don't know. So I said, uh, your, your honor, uh, I'm not ready to, uh, take a plea.
And it's just that it was a year probation. Year probation, unsupervised. But it's a felony. But it's a felony, Class 6. 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 all of everything. But it's a matter. At the end, they see it as a Class 6 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, it's a Class 6 felony. 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 or just be possession. You'll catch possession and that's it. And then like everything else would like to 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 hurt you with immigration now. So if anybody in the States has a charge and they're telling you this charge is not going to come up, they 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 be in it. You know what I'm saying? But after what I saw, like I 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 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 the wrangle accounting 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 you want to take the guilty plea take the guilty plea No, i'm not ready yet. Let me just stay here. So now i'm like three four months in
And then somebody comes in. He was a PISA. A PISA comes inside, which is a Mexican born in Mexico. He comes in and he's got some charges, but nobody knows what the charges are. And he doesn't have paperwork for some reason. So everybody's like, okay, well, who's the new guy? Is he a cop? And you're trying to get
because there's some serious guys in there. I'm talking about people working for El 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 were some guys in there. They didn't care. Like, oh, we're going to do 11 months and get deported back to Mexico and come back the next day. You know what I'm saying? And then they're like, we're going to just take one of the tunnels and come back the next day. So there's some serious dudes working for some serious guys out there. And then, uh, which they won't tell you anything about nothing about who the boss is, 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 to give him paperwork of course right and then um this guy didn't want to keep delaying and kept delaying keep delaying his paperwork so this stood out to me i still remember till today the guy comes in he's you know bigger fella
But just very creepy. Always kept it to himself. Always stood to the corner. Never talked too much. And then anyways, now it's been over two weeks or something. They're like in the woods. So at that time I got a couple fights in the bathroom because I would go and collect for the shot collar, you know what I'm saying? So the guy with the mullet. So he'd be like, yo, go check on my Snickers or go check on my
Jolly Ranchers or whatever, bag of chips, has that guy got my
Jokes aside, Verizon has the most ways to save on phones and plans where you can get a single line with everything you need. So bring in your bill to your local Miami Verizon store today and we'll give you a better deal. Rankings based on root metrics, root score, report data to 1-H-2025, your results may vary. Must provide a post-paid consumer mobile bill dated within the past 45 days. Bill must be in the same name as the person reviewing the video. Additional terms apply. Four items, we just call them items. As the guy got my four items, I'd go over there and I became a torpedo. Torpedo is a guy who goes for the shock collar, who becomes like his messenger. You know what I'm saying?
Right. And I would go in there and be like, yo, you owe my shot collar. Uh, I don't know this stuff, but I'm mad as it is in society. A couple of flights in the bathroom would take my anger away. You know what I mean? So why not? So then I go there and be like, Hey, you got the four items. Tell you shot collar. I don't got it. All right. Well, shot collar shot collar. You doesn't got your four items. Take them 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.
I fucked 10, 90 pounds. I was like, no, bro. I'm good. I told the guy, yo, come see me. He goes in there. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. We duke it down. That's it. We go back. And then, 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 the pices look at it and they let all the shot collars know. So I'm close to the shot collar. 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. I don't let these other people know, but that guy that just came in here 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 he do wrong? Well, what do you mean? Well, he's a coyote and he was to bring people across the border, right? So they would give him payment. Even if they didn't have payment, he would, uh,
stay great, great. So you like great. Yeah, the kids, you know, the mother, anybody doesn't matter if they have paperwork or not. So the father will be waiting and 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, one year 30 families or something like that, that he would bring across. But then all the other essay,
Something like 60% or 70% of all the women that come through the coyotes are assaulted.
I saw it severely, 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 El Chateau got caught or somebody got caught, but like 120 tunnels got figured out where they were. And then they, they collapsed them and the government took care of it. But just imagine all these tunnels that were underneath the border. It was ridiculous.
And I guess it would only cost all this. I found out when I go to ice now, you know what I mean? So I'm been to Rango still. Okay. So I'm in the Rango. 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 Pisces or somebody else has to do it. We, we were all willing to do it. You know what I'm saying? At that point, but we can't. That's their people.
Pisces said listen, man, we'll take care of it. This is not you know, we know the 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. I'm saying All I see is two blankets two men with blankets on them
And so they put the blanket for the the camera, you know 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 But of course, right? Yeah and then um, they had some socks or pillow like a blanket or whatever and then uh, they just came with blankets all the way down and then like, um
They put it, I guess what the people saying, like they stuff this mouth with a blank and everything, and then just start getting to work just nonstop. This is serious. This is a serious place. This ain't no joke around here, especially with the Mexicans. They're not playing around. Okay. So, you know what? Me at the time, I was thinking, well, let me just take this guilty plea, which I ended up doing.
I was like, you know what? I cannot stay here. How long is this going to take? They said it might take a year. Other buddy over there got caught with like, uh, I think, uh, 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 it like who knows a wood comes in there and a wood has You know some kind of problems like that with with what we talked about then I got to do it You know what I'm saying 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 this is gonna 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 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. Cause I know guys like literally they get bonded out. They're walking out the door. Two agents walk up and grab them. Just boom. Hey, put the cuffs on them. Walk them. I'm going to get to that because that's what happened. Now that time I'm good. I get out. Everything's great. No problem. Go to my uncle's shop.
We eat some food. He makes me pizza and stuff. I'm starving. I'm hungry. I'm having fun, blah, blah, blah. Now finally decision gets, I didn't know this, but now finally decision is that the adoption happened, uh, 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've got a deportation, um, on my record, like, like guaranteed now and I can't do nothing about it.
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 then like hollering i've never been the type 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 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, picking 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 pushed him inside the night. I'm like, Oh, get that, get offered. Who do you think you are, man? And he's like, Oh, you want to be like this and that? I said, I'm there. So, you know,
I'm there with my Mexican buddies. They got involved. They're like, yo, you don't know nothing about us. It was all this thing, bobbing back and forth. This guy leaves. I'm thinking he's gone. He's waiting in the back alley. So in Old Town Scottsdale, Old Town Scottsdale is big now. After I left, back in the day, it was just normal. But 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 was in that bump and they had Old Town and they had the new town. So now they got like New Town 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 him in the alleyway I said take taxi get out of here. She's like what I was like those guys she's like come with me I was like, no just leave like I'm not gonna come with you and then so the guys I'm with I'm like, well, 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 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 guys seen that kick and like what?
And then my guys are looking, I was like, yeah, what's up? You guys want it? They saw their main guy go down and it was like kick. So I know I'm a big guy at the time. So they're like, how does big guy kick this highlight? But so he must be a trained fighter. So they, they, they left. They're like, and they grabbed their buddy to try to leave. The guy wouldn't get up. So the ambulance came. That's how bad the kick was. I don't know if kicking hurt somebody that bad.
the ambulance came he's on they have it on video they have it on old town scottsdale video that kick i'm 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 you give me that video but he hasn't he hasn't reached out to me but it just said he was even surprised he goes you kicked him he's like how do you how do you and even the lady they're laughing at the point i'm in the back of the police car like how'd you get your leg 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 and 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 taken down to the hospital. He didn't want to press no charges, but that's still an assault, right? So they want to try to get me for this assault. So instead of giving me like a promise to appear,
Like, uh, 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, uh, I told guess who comes sees me, guess who's there. So then I'm in, I'm in jail and they're like, um, we're going to release you on this paperwork for you to leave. Um, just the 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. So the pizza shop I said, don't worry about no bond money or nothing. They're getting, they're releasing me. And mom goes, okay, no problem. And then, uh, soon as I walk outside handcuff, I look back ice. Oh, what? I was like, what do you, what do you guys want? Like, what are you doing? They said, they said I got released. Yeah. From here. Not from mud.
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, uh, 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 they got it's like a low it's like a it's a it's a holding facility it's not even it's a holding facility right so they got basketball soccer my mom's like oh he's good he's he's good he's gonna play some football some basketball they weren't worried about me right no it's different it took me to pinell county jail
So I didn't go to Florence or Eloy. They said this guy's high risk and then some others 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 wasn't really a
That's another 30, 40 minutes that we can talk about it, but it wasn't a big one, right? Just a house and whatever went on. I was the driver and then that's it. And then, um, so that one went down to theft. So they check 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 Pinal 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 County, or they might take it to the person. It might hold you at Kingston. It might hold you at somewhere wherever they want to hold you at. You know, I mean that there's more cops, there's more, or there's more guards, there's more CEOs. So I go, okay, I'm going to the detention center. I said in Florence or Eloy, cause 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, um, Colombian, um, I think two Romanian, Albanian, and there's one Albanian guy. So just being him and, um, a couple of Europeans, not so much, but majority all Mexican, right? Right. So, um, there's some like Jamaicans as well and stuff like that, but not a lot of them and Cambodia.
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 Pinell 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
You can go stand in line to use the shower or you can stand in line to use the phone, but you can't do both. That's it. And you can't even do both. I'm like, you are not going to let me sit here for 23 hours. That's not humane. That's a joke. That's not, I didn't believe it.
They're doing this just like 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 a choice.
And then, you know, start doing some push-ups and stuff like that. But they kept me in there for that 23 hours because they had me at a 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 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 Francis or like a Sammy or these other guys who did like.
what or even you i think you did what like in the holding like uh 23 hours i think you said a couple months in there yeah like 45 days i think was the longest one right you see what i'm saying like i was like what like and then guys have been there years and years i'm like 23 hours in i'm like what so like wait that 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 yes you 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. 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 mean, they're going to stand 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 minutes, 15, 20 minutes. The guy's like, hurry up. You can't do both. It's impossible. Yeah, you can. Even if you tried what I tried, you get a minute on the phone, not even that. You can't, what do you talk to for, for about a minute? So anyways, I was like, this is, this is crazy, man. But anyways, I, I, I went through it. I started doing,
I'm reading and trying to pass my time and counting how many dots were on the wall. And, and, um, some guy made a portrait of like some El Salvadorian, like he colored it on the wall. So I'm trying to figure out why he made this and why, 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 I 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 heard in my life or something. I've done wrong in my life. I'm like just I was losing my mind that nothing to do. There's nothing to do in there So now here's what happens. So now the guy goes, um You're gonna see a deportation officer. Okay. Okay deportation officer. All right. I look at the name and
I said, uh, it was it was a normal name, but then I at the end it was like Cool like not kung fu, but like cool young shoe something. Okay. So i'm like, okay, whatever All right, the guy must be vietnamese chinese, whatever. Okay i'm it's gonna get to the part that that he angers me
So then I go in there, he's provoking me. So I go in there, I meet the guy and he goes, okay, so, um, you're going to, let me see here, check on the paperwork and everything. He's all looking at the paperwork. Okay. You're going to, Oh, Albania. I'm like, yeah, Albania. He goes, Albania is a beautiful country. They had a 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 food out there is amazing i've been to albania i've traveled over there i was like you're not you know i mean it's not gonna be a bad time in albania you're gonna have a great time like what like 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 and goes, I don't know about this America situation, but like, you know, but Albania is not a bad country. You're like, you're really going to like it when you get there. And this guy just really just, just sparked 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 is beautiful. It's beautiful in China. Exactly the words I said, it's on paperwork and everything because afterwards, uh,
It went bad. I was like, I want to go back to China. I mean, doesn't America owe China like billions of dollars? You guys are a rich country. It's a beautiful country. Nice over there too, right? I stay in America and become a deportation officer. What's the point? He goes, I'm in this seat. You're in that seat. You have problems. I don't. I got my citizenship and you have been denied.
So there's a difference between me and you. I can go, but I can come back. You can't. And I'm like, what are you trying to get that from, man? 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 here 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, since it's a beautiful damn country. And I spit in the paperwork. I crumpled it up and I threw it right at his face.
And I'm like, I'm not signing this shit. Let's fuck out of here. And he goes, Oh, okay. And then officers come boom. I'm thinking I'm going, cause 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 her, I'm not going to deal with this guy. This Kong Fu June broom. I'm not dealing with them anymore. You know, nothing against the Chinese people. I love them.
but that guy was just an asshole. I can't stand them. I'm like, why would you say that? You know, like I'm trying, 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 anything about my country. So the guy anyways, now I go down, I stay in there. I'm waiting for my, um, they 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 port around January 5th. Okay, and this was 2012 yeah, 2012 because 2014 I made my way back to Canada so only two years, but anyways 2012 they They take me over there they lower me down to a lower level and
And then there was I don't understand. How'd 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 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, 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 said, I'm dead serious. You like Cambodia, you like France, you like we'll deport you anywhere. You just can't stay in this country. You're serious.
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 luck finding that. So I'm trying to tell people like,
If they can't find your Albanian passport or if they can't get your passport, they have to let you go. You can only stay in this holding facility and immigration for so long. Then they got to release you. And there's a timeframe. 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. Cause he helped me out with a lot with immigration. I call them uncle Greci. Uncle Greci. He's a guy who he's like, you remind me of my son.
like come over here. So he took care of me while I was in there the whole entire time. So Uncle Grach, if you see this, please reach out to me because I lost his contact and all his information, but he said he's going to reach me out on Facebook, but his country wouldn't take him back. He had these two stars here and like this general thing. And I go, what are all the tattoos for? He goes, you're too young. He goes, once you go outside, you'll figure out who I really am. But I guess it'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 and he said, you remind me of my son, stay here. There's a lot of problems. I don't want you to get in trouble. I said, okay, no problem. I let him talk to my uncle on my phone. My uncle's talking to him. I was 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 I'll congratulate you. You know, he played a good role with the Cambodian guy. I beat him.
Quick quick little story. I beat him in a game of basketball and Because over there you have a basketball court that you play for a little bit now I'm in like a lower level. So Pinal 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 15 years and they're trying to pull the port back to Cambodia and
Yeah, you don't give a damn so he's on a different He's on a different aisle than I am me a couple of months here and there this guy's 15 years in You know already has a the shank ready already has everything ready to go for anybody to mess around. I thought I was like Deportation nothing's gonna happen But literally right after the basketball game word got around uncle Gretchen heard about it that he was gonna step in the shower And I was like, okay much I didn't know so I go in the shower
I see him, two Cambodian buddies. Uncle Grachi came in there, blocked the way. He said, you got to go through me to get to him. Uncle Grachi 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 said, we're not going to let that happen. You know how it works. He goes, listen, he doesn't know nothing. He doesn't know this and that. Let him go. So because of him, they held back. But I'm not supposed to see him, not supposed to contact him with eyes. And I got mad. I was like, why don't we fight one on one? And I said, what's up with this shanking?
I was like, okay, never mind.
So then just me Uncle Grach, 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. So that's another thing for some people to keep an eye out. Or if they lose your paperwork. And if you have connections back home in your country, there's ways that your paperwork go missing. You know what I'm saying?
So anyways, but they came to Uncle Grachy 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, uh, they finally told them, they're like, Russia does not want you back. Nobody wants you back. He laughs. He goes, 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? So then.
He was going to get released though. He was 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 was going to reach out on Facebook when he gets out. So I know he got out. Then I met some El Salvadorian guys and the guy's like, I'm going to die when I go back home. I got tattoos all over my face. I got gang tattoos. I'm going to El Salvador. I'm dying.
And then the officer's like, that's not my problem. Like you're going to die when you go back to El Salvador. Straight to that fucking, that fucking super Mac, hundred thousand man super Macs that they built. Yeah. He's like, that's what I'm going to go in there. I'm dying. Like you're like, you guys are taking me to a death bed. 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, my situation, I came when I was young, five years old, and I had fraudulent documents, you know, because the wouldn't have stopped me, none of that stuff would have really stopped me, they would have caused problems. But it was all the fraudulent documents they were worried about. That's why they gave me a 10 year ban. So they gave me a 10 year ban from the states. So when they're about to deport you, they give you a ban, keep that paperwork, that paperwork is important for when you're trying to come back.
You know, you need that paperwork. You lose that paperwork. It's going to take six months for you to get it without that paperwork. They're not going to let you back because they'll lose your records after 10 years, but it says they're 10 years, uh, 20 years. And then, uh, then it says life. So now Salvadorian had life life. He can never come back. So anyways, he was like, I'm, 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, um,
He said he was going to add me on Facebook. He never added me on Facebook. Sorry. I figured out bigger problems, bro. Yeah, I know he, I know what happened. He's done. Yeah. He told me he's like, if I don't add you on Facebook, cause he had all my information. He's like, I'll add you if I get out, but if I don't, you know what happened. So he's gone for sure. It 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, hi, how did they get inside? Like, you know, he's,
really nice people why would you put yourself in this situation but anyways the ICE facility they don't care man they want to grab as many people in the portrait 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 gonna bust get released and then I guess my lawyer had paid some money to Or my uncle I paid some money to my lawyer. So there's another ten thousand dollars go to waste He said if you pay the same thousand, I could probably get him out They had the ticket ready they had everything ready just to get me out of there now Here's it's kind of a funny. It's a funny situation, but whatever it's not funny at the port
But you go to this one side, this one side is to the buses. You go on the buses to go to Mexico. Then the left side is for all the Europeans getting ready to take flight to go to Europe. You know what I'm saying? My name being Armando, they thought I was Mexican. I don't know what I'm doing. I'm thinking this bus
Armando?
Mexico Mexico Mexico Mexico
get your ass over here with the european so i'm like where was i going he goes to nogales nogales and go to mexico i was like no i don't want to go to mexico take me to albania and then anyways at that time like i said they still didn't know where they're gonna happen like am i gonna 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 gonna be released or not
So I'm talking to the other guy the other guy's like no, this is it like you're gonna get like the plane's gonna be here You're gonna go back. It's done. It's finished and he goes I go no my lawyer says that I'm gonna be released anyways wake up in the morning I'm getting I'm getting driven somewhere And I'm like this looks familiar. I was like Tempe, Arizona. Yeah, this is the college University Sky Harbor Sky Harbor Airport what? Sky what Airport
What am I doing at the airport? And the guy's like, 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 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 gonna see these people anyways anymore you know but uh 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 um
That time I call my uncle. Do they go with you on the plane? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. They hop right on the plane with you all the way in the back of the plane, shackled up and you'd sit in your seat. Uh, one's over here on the left, uh, 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, so what 18 hours and i'll be in 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 call 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 I knew it was gonna 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 them, I was like, I'm about to take flight. He's like, take flight where? Like I'm going home. He's like, no, 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 knows 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, uh, uh, five years for distraction of.
I get deported. I get deported. I get sent back. They have no proof of me. Once I go to Europe, I am there with the officers.
I go from Arizona to Washington.
So they unshackle you because you're in Europe, you're in your land kind of, it's your area. And they unshackle you and everything. And then, uh, and then they said, uh, 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 is 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 I'm like, who are all these people? That's what I was saying. That's your family members. Like they're going crazy. They've been here all day waiting for you. Like just going crazy. Like, where's my son? Where's my son? And then I just hear, of course, my mom, her voice. You can hear from miles away. Like Armando, Armando, 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 want to keep me in like, they want 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. 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 an Albanian citizen. He was born in the hospital of Tirana. We're like, what the hell are you guys doing? Release him. And they're making 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 don't 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. I got two brothers and a sister, American citizens. One graduated from Arizona State University for a civil or a computer engineering.
The other one graduated and now my sister is in Michigan and she's graduating from Michigan. So we're waiting for, you got to be 21 years old to do a sponsorship. So for anybody who knows, you got to be at least the age of 21. So my dad waits on 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 in 2012, six months, stayed in 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 hated everything about it. I lost everything, man. I lost the girl. I lost my football career. I lost everything, man. I was like, this is ridiculous. I mean, what's there? What's there left in my life? Now there's more left in my life, which I thought it was over. That's it. I thought deportation was the worst that it could be. No, it's not the worst that it could be.
Trying to stay alive in Albania was even worse. So now we're talking about this crazy uncle, which I led you to the story in the very beginning with the shooting. So now I decided to leave and then I went to Germany, tried to, tried to claim Germany, like asylum over there. They don't take too many people in. So they, 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, like, I can't go back because of what happened with the situation.
So I went to, after being six months in depression inside the house, I decided to go to like a coffee shop down the street, whatever. And Albanian, 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? And then I tell them, no, me not knowing anything, what's going on. Um,
Said a name to them, you know, I gave him the last name But not lock which is my name, but my uncle's last name. Okay, so whenever when I sold him my uncle's last name the guys 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
In some security, my uncle, my other uncle that's in Albania, he got me a security job on the beach. It's a security job. I try to help out people and whatever, just to make like what, $400 a month. I went like after, after you get deported, then you start really loving the country that you were at, America. You start really regretting everything that you lost. You start seeing America as a place of gold.
You know what I mean? But at first, when you're there, you're like, whatever, I hate this place. No, no, no, no. Go back to your country for a couple of years and then tell me what you think about America. You're going to come and kiss the land. I'm going to tell you that right now. So then I go back there and then it's just a hell hole. I mean, everybody's yelling and screaming and just chaos and just all corruption. People getting pulled over, paid money.
My dad was working at a pizza shop. He was making he was making what $3,000 a week in America.
He was making $10 a day the whole day. 12 hours of working. Here's your 10 measly bucks. Now fuck off. And you look at the 10 bucks and you're like, what am I supposed to do first? Bring food to my kids. What am I supposed to do with 10 bucks? You know what I'm saying? So I was like, this is crazy. Working all day for $10. I got to help him out. So I got to do security. I go to a place down there at the security place and then, um, and then,
There's some paperwork that I sent you as well as the paperwork here. So this is like the people that's all signed and everything. Some of it's in Albanian and some of it's in English, but this is when my parents were attacked by the individuals. So anyways, if you read down to it, it just says, and this is from, it's a newspaper article from Albania. So it's a newspaper article that everybody reads in Albania. They're well known.
and it just talks about my family. So the individuals come and it says here, if they, 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 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. It's a different wording, right? But that's the best they could 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 the nephew. You know what I mean? Me. So I'm like, my dad's like, we got to get them out of here. We got to figure out a way to get them out of here. You know what I mean? This is, 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. It does 10 years prison time and it 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 a conflict that happened. This is signed by the general of Albania. Here's the official copy. 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.
Um, yeah.
And that's the other one, same thing, all police reports like the district, the chief of police and for anybody in Albania, they know him, Agim Basha. So Agim Basha anyways, all this says is that Armando, Armando was attacked at a certain time by the individuals. We protected him and kept him safe and in custody.
And that's it. They don't want to mention the names. I don't want to mention last names because the police is scared of these individuals. They don't want to release their names. And now they go over there and say, will you guys to mention our last name? Like what's going on? This family is really well known over there and 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 the 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 so as i walk up to the hill bam they see the wound it's uh right over here big dash mark on my chin up top right here
And a whole bunch of wounds all over my body. These individuals, they just come. That's a, that's the police report that we're getting at individuals come and be 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 off. I can't because it's 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 stole 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 want 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 twenties.
If it was probably an older people, they probably would have gotten 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. Anyways. So they're trying to, they're trying to get me or whatnot. And then, um, 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, 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 side. And if you see like the whole side of my head on the back, it's all cuts and wounds. And
And that's his life or death. I was like, who are these guys? Why are they coming after me? 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 at 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 then I just said, I don't know, man. I just thought I went to a coffee shop and I gave them the last name. Right.
And he said, that's not a good name around here, man. Well, fuck. How do I know? I was in America. I don't know nothing about this name. He said, listen, anybody come to pick you up, get out of here now. Like we can't even help you get out of here now. Come on, man. Yes, that's yours. I'm thinking it's a joke. I haven't seen it, but it's like mafia movie shit. Come on, man. Like I'm thinking it's a joke the whole third 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 what do i do so anyways i had to escape anywhere in europe these people know who i was i stayed up in a village and i hid myself in this village people would bring me food i stayed there for about a year because i left the 2014 so
2012, although in 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 me, you know, but there was another person over there.
And 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 said, you're going to buy the plane ticket. I said, I'll buy the plane ticket. He'll come over here and then give me $20,000. And you can, I needed 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 Albanians, don't get me wrong. I don't want them to come crashing after me. Not Albanians are liars, but there's some crooks out there. You know what I'm saying?
Majority of them are very hard-working 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 uh, 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 I have from maricopa county being
health inside there. You know what I'm saying? And that's the full right scholarship to Glendale Community College. As you can see how my life went from trying to become something getting deported and going through hell in a matter of like years, just quick, just like that. And then anyways, so then I leave that place as fast as I can. My parents picked me up.
I'm trying to get this, 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 it with you. 10, 10, whatever. Anyways, he decides he comes to Albania. I pick him up at the airport.
And I met a girl at the time that I was seeing. 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't we go here? I was like, no, I can't. Why can't we do it? I was like, I can't. So I tried 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.
Bro you made me pay by the tickets the guy came down everything I did and now you don't want to buy the passport So what what's going on here? What kind of businesses is he's like, dude? I don't want it. He doesn't look like me. I don't care. I don't want it I'm saying give me the money for the ticket then Get out of here. You don't leave my club right now. I'm gonna shoot you symbols. I get the fuck out of here
I got no support. I got no defense. I got no people I got I don't even know anybody to give me a gun if I wanted to I could probably find one But whatever so I left I said didn't work out. Okay I'm looking at the overnight. I'm looking at the passport. I'm looking at him. I'm looking at the passport. I'm looking at him I'm looking at myself in the mirror I'm like Did I just try it I was like he kind of looks like me. Let me just try it. That's what was supposed to worse. It's gonna happen
I'm a fuck. I'm a dead man. Anyways, I'm gonna stay here. I'm gonna die so I Told them I was like listen, bro. I gotta go to Germany for a little bit. Okay, you're gonna stay with my girlfriend She's gonna take you out. She can go anywhere cuz 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 stick it
So this is 12 years, 12 years to take it, 12 years long. So this is take it. And that's them declining me, almost catching me in Paris. They disrupted my flight because it didn't look like me. One lady out of everybody, I tricked, I tricked, not tricked, but I guess I, I manipulated the, 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.
I'm Davis Jacobs.
Right, so they did that to me. So I went from Albania to Vienna. That's what the pet That's what the thing says from Albania to Vienna from Vienna to Paris. I messed up I wanted to go to Luxembourg Like I said from earlier Luxembourg is the place to go easy, right? I went to Paris. I said no Paris is number one like straight super strict. Nobody can get involved the only thing that saved my life is
is that I speak fluent English. That's it. Because if I spoke like Albanian, like chipa, chipa, chipa, chipa like that, they would have caught on right away. But because I was like, this is me, I'm Davis Jacobs. Like I'm trying to go see my girlfriend in Canada. Like, what are you talking about? Like I'm Davis 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 happens. So they got me a room in Paris and they said, come back the next day. Sorry about you missing your flight and everything. Cause it was just this one lady. It 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. Cause she was like, you're either Albanian Serbian or Macedonian. You are not.
American I don't know how she got it right Oh my god, who is this chick? You know 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 Yeah, same. So he made up his mind. He goes listen. I got this one. He's 100 percent
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 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 was like, she's arguing with him. He's arguing with the other. And then he just waves at me like, bye, Davis Jacobs. Like, thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Appreciate it. But they're like, I was in an interrogation room for hours. Like, why did you play football? Okay, what happened? Why'd you go to Kansas? Like they want us 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 Plane has been interrupted. I'm like, oh my god, they got me but no I had 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, officer. Thank you very much. And then that's it. That's the ticket saved my life. So anyways, I come over here and then, um, here's one thing that, that, that's kind of crazy now. So now I go, so now I come to Canada, Canada, same process. How are you? How's everything good? Looking at the passport, the guys like, it doesn't look like you.
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 forgot the individual's name. I told him the name of the person. He said, it doesn't look like me. They took me into interrogation room. They asked me a bunch of questions. And then I even told, but I was that like confident that 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 tomorrow. You're leaving. You got a plane hilarious. I wish they had the camera over there. So anyways, I come over here to Canada. Anyways, the guy just goes, I don't know. The passport doesn't look like you, but uh, 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 davis jacobs. No problem um 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 in steroids and stuff
And you're not allowed to come to Canada. Any trouble you get in the States, you're not allowed to come to Canada. So now they look at me and they're like, so we're going to deport you. I'm like, where are you going to deport me? You're home. And that's where I got a 10 year bar from. I'm not allowed it. So I'm like sitting there. I'm like, should I just go back? I'm like, no, you're an idiot. Once you go back, they're going to fingerprint you. You're done.
Like like you're finished that's called Trespassing reentry and you're gonna catch because I know a guy in there believe it or not 12 times He came back went back across the border. He had 12 reentries There was a game to him. The officers even laughed to 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 caught 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 them the truth. Forget this. Like, listen, my name is Armando. I got deported from the States. I got a 10 year band. Everybody's like, what the fuck just happened? 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 healthcare in Canada, allowed to work in Canada, everything. So they give you this piece of paper, release you and then have a nice day.
So now I made it to Canada and now it's the Albanian passport that they confiscated, that they confiscated over there on the border. So now I'm over here. And you have the little, did you have the little frohawk? No, I didn't take that off because Davis Jacobs didn't have it. Davis Jacobs, Davis Jacobs didn't have any of that. He just had a flat like bus cuts. I had to look just like him. I had to take it. I had to buzz everything down. But for that, that's, that's when I, that's when I landed to Albania when I had that nice little frohawk thing. I always kept that.
Everybody said I look like Jersey Shore, like Ronnie from Jersey Shore. I don't know if they watch it, but I looked, I was, 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. Mine. Yeah. That they confiscated. They confiscated. I thought you was going Jacob. So I was like, no, no, no, no. Davis Jacobs, uh, David Jacobs, that, that passport, um,
they keep that they kept they kept both they kept passports they keep that passport and um 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 of 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 as English, like the fluent speaking English, that's what saved me. Nothing else other than that. So they took a whole report. You know, they do the whole report thing from the embassy. That's the whole report that they write down that he used a Davis Jacobs 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 thought 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 canada i'm like I can see canada This is amazing first time ever I can see canada
and at this time i came to canada not knowing anything about canada right so um i just had like a shirt on some shorts it was december it's freezing it's snowing like what are you doing 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. 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, with 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 from that, they're trying to come back or any way. And you're not trying to go to America, but you're trying to go, let's say Australia. They're going to keep you in there and they're going to see what you did wrong with that gun. 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 asylum. So I got released on a refugee asylum and then, um, 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 I worked in Naples the whole entire time. I'm talking about a hundred hours a week. I didn't care. I just wanted to work, work, work, work, work. And then, um, and then a few problems happen. Of course, problems always occur, right?
Thanks. That's how it is. So finally landed in Canada after the officer said, cause I have to tell him the truth, right? He was going to release me. He was going to deport me back to America. I didn'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 put a Windsor so bad? And I said, I don't know. That's where my uncle lives. I said, but why Windsor? I said, I don't know. That's where my uncle lives. Why are you asking me so 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 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 saying i just i'm not going to go back to the states i don't care i say why winter though i was like i'll go anywhere toronto i'll go wherever you want just not back home i'll say wherever you guys want me to
And they're like, okay, all right, whatever, because they saw 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 and 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 popped out of solid charge. And then that's what 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 each looks like. The food here is not so bad. Three meals a day. So three meals a day is not bad. Really good meals, big meals. Um, the only problem is it's, uh, it's different from the States. The CEOs here are messed up. They, uh,
I did my 10 years, so I'm waiting for a waiver to go back to the States through a sponsorship through my father. But also I got my refugee asylum that I'm waiting for in Canada. Some people get it right away, they get lucky.
You know, some people that have charges, whatever it 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. Cause I went there. I didn't like it. That's what I mean.
So if you guys are saying death to Canada, then why are you here then? And then you can't do nothing to these guys because they're allowed to do it according to the police. Like a terrorist attack and 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 has become big. You might think that racism is like going down and disappearing. It's actually becoming more because now you got,
a whole different groups coming in. You know, we got Indians, uh, 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 don't say, what does that got to do with anything? 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 The whole all the hotels down at Windsor work or recover 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 uh live here they get a thousand dollars 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 i'm saying the majority of them don't even work they get a lot of money they don't need to work they they blame it that they don't know the language they blame it that they did they just came and they don't know i'm saying so anyways for being a guy who got deported who saw the worst of worse
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 of 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 Exeter Road and then the whole, that was the BamBam. BamBam was the name. A good fella, amazing guy. So yes.
With the assault charge. A nightclub situation, coming to a new country, don't know too many people. These are not my friends. These are not my day ones. These are people I just met. So started life all over again. You go to a whole new country, your life is starting all over again. Anyways, go to a local nightclub. Some individuals didn't like the chains I was wearing and stuff like that. So they thought that they could try to rob me on the outside.
As I was leaving, they were following me, took a corner, and then that's when we fought. It was three on one. They tried to yank. They got one of the chains, they yanked it off of me on the way of running to the car. They dropped on the ground, but like they kept the chain part, but not the actual eagle. And this is just something my parents gave me like just close to heart that my family bought, you know, with the money that they had left in Albania. So that means a lot. Anyways, took the assault charge.
Officers come and then uh What are you doing? I'm hearing a refugee claim. Okay, no problem. You're going to exit a road Exit a road worse jail in canada So wait a second, I have a question real quick so someone tried to lob you you defended yourself and You got charged. Yeah, they saw the fight. They saw me punching the guy and they saw the fight Well, the two of them got picked up. We all got picked up
for assault by disturbing the peace, uh, um, honoring death threats and, uh, assault, you know, and then I think one of them had a weapon. So solid to weapon doesn't Canada is, um, they like to take everything to trial. They love, they love trial and they take everything to trial in the States. If you go to trial, it's something crazy, something ridiculous. 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, no, 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 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 violence. 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, 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 could 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 gonna go to trial take a guilty plea or go to trial i got a guy right now doing the essay like uh sexual like assault you know i'm saying he he's in there right now
Then it was his girlfriend, his girlfriend told him come over text message and everything. I can't wait for you to get home, blah, blah, blah. But found out that he was cheating on the phone. It doesn't matter. She, she got aggressive throwing stuff, told the cops that he came over here and forced himself inside the house, forced himself inside his own home and tried to aggressively attack her in bed. Boom. He's just trying to fight a trial right now. He's an exit of road. Doesn't matter for woman here.
Forget about it. She could 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, I've learned this. I've seen it a hundred 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, 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, like a girl punches him at the nightclub. She, he has the right to defend himself.
You're in jail, so they bring you down there. Yeah, they take you down to Maricopa County.

They took me down to Exeter Road. I'm thinking, okay, whatever. I've been to jail in the States. 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 assurity. Assurity is somebody that can, that you're going to stay at their house. You're going to, they're going to be protecting you. They're going to do this and that. I don't have an assurity. Like I have no family out here. All my family's in America and over this.
So I got to literally find it in there. But anyways, they, I told them the situation. I got no family here. I got no nothing. Then, uh, they released me, but the time being in there, which was a couple of months, three, three to four months of being inside before they can actually release you. Um, that's when I like, I heard. And then like the CEOs are crazy. They're, they're corrupt. Like, so if somebody, if somebody does something towards a woman.
okay they're going inside exit or road jail the cops or the not the cops but the co's 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 they 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
When everybody saw how that means the wolves are going to get you. And then the CEO 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 got, you gotta go take a shower. So there's a guy in the morning gets released to the shower. Boom's beating 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're done. The wolves are coming out to play. So they're beating the crap out of this guy. Afterwards, they take them and they put them in 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 2000 bikers showed up.
2000 bikers because the CEOs Tom and beat the individual And the next person next door to him heard him say, please stop, please stop stop, please Please guys stop they kept beating them punching them hitting them Stopping 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 gonna see the the jackets, but anyways
Two thousand of them showed up. Not one of them came out. Not one of the CEOs came out of that jail cell. Everybody stayed indoors that day. They locked the whole place up and it was crowded by two thousand 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 co's from then that's we're talking about the co's killing you so it's just it's it's corrupt man it's corrupt um and it's just a simple jail lock up you know three times to eat a day type type type stuff you get you get stayed in right i mean you get to get out they got a tv a nice tv totally different from therango nice cleaner jail better looking jail
But the CEOs are totally different. You know, in the States, they won't allow that kind of stuff to happen here. That totally changed my mind because they let anything happen in that jail. CEOs are nowhere to be found. You know what I'm saying? How long were you there? Three or four months as soon as I got out and I thought I took everything to trial. I've had three charges in Canada and I took them all to trial and I beat them all. I beat all of them. All of them have been dropped.
You gotta 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 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. So, but that's what I remember from Maricopa County.
I didn't know it was gonna be that crazy but like them killing one of my like these like good enough friends as you know him 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 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 both for 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's nothing just to go guys. You ready? Oh Everybody started howling we're ready to go then until the doors 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
Uh maricopa county would be way worse but when it comes like food and like uh, the environment that you live in Like arizona would be worse like environment that you live in canada wise You get fed. Well, there's no woods ken foes 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 immigrants coming in. I lived next to a guy, it's all over the news as well. He ran over a family and a whole Indian family just because he didn't like them. And I lived next to the guy. I never knew he was like that. But one day I made a comment. I said, we were doing laundry. You know how the apartments have one laundry that everybody has to go? I see them walking at the apartment complex and this is on
I swear to God man what he said it was just like he goes or something like that. I said, what?
I said what he just said like a rude disrespectful way I was like, what are you talking about man? That's the guy that ran over the family the next day all over the news He was just he just hated immigrants. He hated immigrants and he was fully strapped had all these guns He could have came and killed me that night. I didn't even know about it. I'm over here thinking Canada is a dangerous country But they don't put stuff all over the news like America does they're very quiet
You know what I'm saying? It's a lot of problems that happen in 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 at 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'm trying, I came to the country to better myself, to, um, 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 worked 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 in some stocks. I like to how long you've been doing 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 in Naples pizza, like every day at the pizza shop.
Um, believe it or not, they were third place in the world, Canada for best pizza, which I didn't know. So it's our 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 a 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 eyes coming to your door and getting scared and watching 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 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 it's sad man get separated from your family you do you miss a lot and You know for everybody who's gonna go through it, especially with this mass deportation thing. I
Just be ready guys, you know, have your stuff in order, have your stuff in the system. Don't trust any, you know, that's why I got, I got a, I got an Instagram Mondo fight for freedom. It's just Mondo my name and then fight. And then the number four for freedom. That's my Instagram that I just created. And that's for anybody who wants to get in there to talk about immigration, to get some help. If you want to know some good lawyers, cause I've been through it, man. We've, we've spent over 200,000 on lawyers, my dad.
so i know which ones are corrupt which ones are messed up if you're trying to come to canada if you're trying to come to america however you're trying to do it i know the process i lived through it man and i'm 35 years old and i've been struggling for 35 years to find a home you know what i mean not even albina wants me so i mean they want me but i can't go so
All right. What are the, what are the names of the social media again? Yeah. Mondo Mondo fight for freedom. That's going to be, uh, the Instagram. Yeah. Instagram one. And then my YouTube channel that I'm trying to start up right now, I'm just doing, uh, what's the difference between Canada and America? That's where I'm getting at. And then later on we talk about immigration and a lot more other stuff, but, uh, it's going to be at like to search it up on YouTube, which is at El Jefe dot or El Jefe the Don. So at El Jefe the Don.
Well, and I'll leave the description. I'll leave the links in the description box.
Yeah, if you can, don't be amazing, man. I appreciate everything you do. 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 just be happy where you're at and love the country that you're at and be a hardworking citizen. And that's the best you can do. All the other BS, leave that to the side. Nobody's there to help you at the end of the day. Thank you, Josh.
