Israeli wanted for fraud on INTERPOL warrant deported

NEW YORK - An Israeli national wanted for fraud in his native country was deported this week by officers with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO).

Moshe Sussman, 31, was flown to Tel Aviv, Israel, on a commercial flight from Newark Liberty International Airport in Newark, N.J. Upon his arrival in Tel Aviv, ICE ERO officers transferred him to the custody of Israeli law enforcement authorities.

Sussman is wanted in Israel on financial fraud charges totaling $1.9 million. He was taken into custody at his home in Brooklyn, N.Y., by ICE ERO fugitive operations and the U.S. Marshals Service on March 17.

"This removal will allow Israeli authorities to proceed with prosecution of a crime alleged to have occurred in their country. We are resolute in our commitment to identify, arrest and remove those individuals who falsely believe they can escape legal issues in their home country by hiding in ours," said Chris Shanahan, field officer director for ICE ERO in New York.

After his March 17 arrest, Sussman was placed in removal proceedings. He was granted voluntary departure by an immigration judge on March 24. He has remained in ICE custody since his arrest.

Records show that Sussman entered the United States in December 2009 as a visitor, and continued to remain in the United States without authorization.

INTERPOL, the world's largest international police organization with 188 member countries, facilitates international police cooperation. Being the subject of an INTERPOL warrant is not a presumption of guilt.

The Myth, The Matrix, and The Malpractice: Unpacking the Sophia Stewart Saga

The internet loves a good underdog story, especially one where a lone creator battles Hollywood giants. Few tales have captivated online forums and social media quite like that of Sophia Stewart, the woman who famously sued the creators of The Matrix and The Terminator, claiming they stole her work, "The Third Eye." Her story is a complex tapestry woven with claims of stolen genius, judicial conflicts, and attorney negligence. Let's untangle the legal facts from the compelling narrative and examine the heart of her claims. The Core Allegation: "The Third Eye" and the Blockbusters Sophia Stewart alleged that her copyrighted manuscript, "The Third Eye," conceived in 1981 and finalized in 1983, was the blueprint for two of the most iconic sci-fi franchises: The Terminator (first film 1984) and The Matrix (first film 1999). From her perspective, the similarities were undeniable. Stewart’s supporters often point to broad, impactful themes and ev...

Charlie Kirk Was Right, and Charlie Kirk Was Wrong: The Enduring Legacy of the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative commentator, has argued that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was unnecessary, contending that the 14th Amendment should have been sufficient to guarantee equal rights. There's a compelling argument to be made for both sides of this statement. Let's break down where Kirk was right and, more importantly, where historical context reveals he was profoundly wrong. Where Charlie Kirk Was "Right" (In Theory) Kirk's theoretical point hinges on the idea that fundamental constitutional principles, if interpreted and enforced correctly, should have negated the need for additional legislation. And, in a perfect world, he would be correct. The 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, explicitly states that "no State shall... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." The intent was to ensure all citizens, particularly newly freed African Americans, were treated equally under the law. If this ...
