For background on the underlying complaint, please go here.
The order allows me to show a jury the violations of my First and Fifth Amendment rights by guards employed by Paragon Systems, Inc. , and also to seek injunctive relief against William Cassidy, aka, the immigration-judge-who-deported-a-North-Carolina-born-U.S.citizen-who-speaks-no-Spanish-and-has-no-relatives-in-Mexico-to-Reynosa. Judge Evans also denied his accomplices' motions to dismiss my lawsuit, and so they also remain as named federal defendants who may be ordered to follow the law that they are charged with enforcing.
These federal defendants are: Eric Holder, Attorney General; Juan Osuna, Director, EOIR; Fran Mooney, Assistant Director for the Office of Management Programs, EOIR; MaryBeth Keller, Assistant Chief Immigration Judge, EOIR; Gary Smith, Assistant Chief Immigration Judge, EOIR; William Anthony Cassidy, Immigration Judge (EOIR); Cynthia Long, Atlanta Court Administrator, EOIR; Darren Eugene Summers, DHS.

Part of the order, alas, grants Department of Justice attorney/adjudicator William Cassidy absolute judicial immunity, from the damages portion of the lawsuit. I will be appealing that portion of the order on the grounds that Congress deliberately denied immigration judges any authority to control the physical movement of anyone in their hearings or anywhere else, unlike federal judges who do have legal authority over the physical movement of spectators in their court rooms. Congress provides federal judges the prerogative to issue orders to law enforcement personnel to make arrests and control the physical movement of people in their court rooms, and provides other contempt authority as well. None of these are in the statute circumscribing the contempt authority for immigration judges, which at most would be to issue civil fines, but only if authorized by the Attorney General, and the A.G. has not provided even this limited authority. Therefore, precedents that protect court room abuses by Article 3 federal judges do not apply to immigration judges.
(My complaint is that Cassidy unlawfully closed hearings and the damages are claimed because in addition to this, he ordered guards to remove me from the building.)
In addition to Cassidy lacking contempt authority, save the robes and other paraphernalia, immigration hearings are closer to kangaroo courts than actual judicial venues, including other administrative law proceedings. Unless the courts want to rule that federal employees who wear black gowns can escape accountability for their civil rights violations, juries should have the opportunity to hold accountable immigration judges, along with the rest of the thugs in that gang.

My name is Craig Henry, I was a previous Lawful Permanent Resident originally from Jamaica on my path towards citizenship when my dream was Railroaded by the North Carolina DOJ, INS, and the famous Immigration Judge William A Cassidy from Atlanta Georgia. I was arrested on July 25, 1995 and held at the Warren County Detention Center N.C., And on February 12, 1996 i plead guilty and recieved 6-8 months Community Punishment Probation. A Class "H" felony with no criminal history points which placed me in the lowest cell/category. i. e. (Category 1) the Maximum penalty possible "Allowed" by the Statute i plead guilty to N.C. Gen. Stat § 15A-1340.17(c) on February 12,1996 was Community Punshment. "Active" punishment was only possible for a repeat offender who has enough criminal history points to place the person into Cell III-VI which Clearly wasnt my situation. Morever, my plea agreement States i recieved an Active Sentence but..... Upon recently requesting my North Carolina Plea documentation from the Warren County Superior Clerk of Court, Warrenton North Carolina i was able to see the Chart Guidelines i was sentenced under in 1996 PRE-IIRIRA etc and was amazed to discover that a Class "H" felony, category I has a "C" at the top of the grid (meaning only Community Punishment could be imposed) the other Class II-IV boast I and A at the top of their grid( which means Intermediate or Active can be imposed in those)
It is Miscarriage of Justice for me to be sentenced to straight Community Punishment Probation and be deported the way the law of the land was at that time, and for me to be labeled and scarred for life being classed as an Aggravated Felon( where the law was for it to be an Aggravated felony a Prison sentence of at least 5 years or more had to be imposed) And my Statute RESTRICTED me from receiving "An Active Prison Sentence!" My Plea agreement Clearly says i was sentenced to Active Punishment which is Not permissibly by Statute at the time. Also i have documentation proving the Immigration Judge William A. Cassidy deported me illegally combined with North Carolina DOJ, INS, falsely documenting i was an Illegal Immigrant not even supposed to be in the United States with documents stating i had no Family ties which was all incorrect. I was a Legal/Lawful Permanent Resident with Rights. Documents dated April 10, 1996 Record of Proceeding R. O. P. under Demographic Information says: LEGAL PERMANENT RESIDENT =NO (when it should have said YES) that INCORRECT information was what Judge William Cassidy used to separate me from my Family and Loved ones, basically destroying my life and in the Interest of Justice there needs to be a Divine Intervention against these Miscarriages.
