American family separated forever by illegal immigration: Kathy Inman needs help in Georgia

Kathy Inman is struggling years after an illegal alien killed her only child and the death of her husband

Dustin Inman’s mom, Woodstock Georgia widow needs help to remain in her home

Life has been a nightmare for Woodstock’s Kathy Inman since an illegal alien separated her family forever on Father’s Day weekend, 2000.

While on their way to the North Georgia Mountains for a long-planned camping and fishing trip, a speeding car driven by an illegal alien crashed into their family vehicle in Ellijay, GA. When Billy and Kathy woke up from their comas weeks later, they were told their only child, Dustin Inman, had been killed in the crash. Dustin had been buried. They missed the funeral.

Kathy learned she would send the rest of her life in a wheel chair because of the spinal and brain injuries incurred in the crash.

The illegal alien driver escaped custody and is living in Mexico. He is wanted by ICE.

In dedication that amazed us all, Billy Inman worked his job as a delivery driver and took care of Kathy in their home after the needless tragedy until his death at age fifty-five in 2019. Billy was immensely proud that he and Kathy were able to travel to Washington D.C. and speak to Trump-era officials on behalf of other victims of illegal immigration. They were invited guests at the official launch of the Trump administration’s Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement Office (VOICE) in Washington, D.C.

Kathy now requires care day and night to remain in her home. According to family members, she is nearly out of money to pay for the home care. Kathy is understandably horrified at the alternative to staying in her own home.

Kathy Inman’s sister Leigh Kelly has set up a ‘GoFundMe’ account for donations from people who are able to help Kathy stay at home.

Illegal aliens have an easier time with donations

We hear a lot in the news about the plight of victims of borders who are today’s protected class. We see the corporate-funded, anti-enforcement ad campaigns telling us “Families Belong Together.” A quick Goggle search shows a large number of GoFundMe accounts set up to benefit illegal aliens. Here is one that brought in $774, 432 for illegal “migrants” who were separated from their families because of borders and immigration enforcement.

I am told Kathy’s care is costing nearly $10,000 a month. Her family will never be together again.

We doubt we can raise as much money for Kathy Inman as anti-borders liberals give to illegal aliens. But we are hoping that Americans who are able will contribute and/or pass on this plea to help Kathy Inman stay in her home in Woodstock, Georgia.

Americans are victims of illegal immigration too.

Help Kathy stay at home here.

Leroy Chapman, Jr., Editor in Chief THE ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION 223 Perimeter Center Pkwy NE Atlanta, Georgia 30346

Re: Demand for Retraction and Apology

Dear Mr. Chapman, Jr.:

I write on behalf of my client, the Dustin Inman Society (DIS), to demand an immediate retraction and apology for the defamatory statements published in your October 7, 2024, article titled “Democrats in this Georgia district are backing a write-in candidate” by Tia Mitchell.

Through use of internet links, the AJC article wrongfully characterizes the Dustin Inman Society as a “Marietta-based anti-immigration hate group.” This characterization is false, defamatory, and published with actual malice. The Dustin Inman Society pushes for secure borders, is not “anti-immigration” and its proprietors do not hate anyone. Rather, DIS advocates for enforcement of U.S. immigration laws and actively opposes unlawful immigration. This distinction is crucial and well-known to staff at your publication.

I paste the offending paragraph from the AJC story:

“A search of activity under her birth name, Karen Sacandy, which Stamper legally changed in 2019, showed that she previously was aligned with a Marietta-based anti-immigration hate group. The group’s website often linked to Sacandy’s activities, like a letter seeking information about the state’s Immigration Enforcement Review Board and a copy of a letter to the editor supporting legislation to prevent immigrants claiming asylum from obtaining driver’s licenses.”

We note the AJC informs readers that the Dustin Inman Society “often” linked to Karen Sacandy/Kate Stamper activities — but produces only two occasions.

Your story, for which DIS founder and president D.A. King was not contacted, informs readers that Sacandy/Stamper “was aligned” with the Dustin Inman Society. We note that polls show that a majority of Americans oppose the federal offense of illegal immigration. Since the letter posted on the DIS site was a published missive to the editor at the Cherokee Tribune, we must ask: does this make that newspaper a “Cherokee County-based anti-immigration hate group”?

Your characterization demonstrates a reckless and vindictive disregard for the truth, rising to the level of actual malice as defined in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan. Actual malice in defamation law refers to publication of a statement with knowledge that it is false or with reckless disregard of whether it is false or not. Your repeated mischaracterization of the Dustin Inman Society, despite having been corrected on numerous occasions, clearly meets this standard.

The Dustin Inman Society’s position on immigration is clear and public:

1. It supports sustainable levels of legal immigration through established channels.

2. It opposes unlawful immigration due to various societal concerns, including: – Strain on public resources and services
– Potential and real public safety issues
– Economic impacts on low-wage American workers and America’s poor

– Challenges to the rule of law

3. The Dustin Inman Society defends legal immigrants when media attempt to blur the difference between them and illegal aliens.

Moreover, the Dustin Inman Society’s board includes lawful immigrants who have navigated the proper channels for authorized immigration. This fact alone should dispel any notion that the organization is “anti-immigration.” As he has informed you multiple times over much of the last two decades, D.A. King’s sister is a real, legal immigrant.

While we acknowledge that the Southern Poverty Law Center has designated the Dustin Inman Society as an “anti-immigrant hate group that denigrates all immigrants,” your article presents the “anti-immigration hate group” characterization as the Atlanta Journal Constitution’s independent assessment and statement of fact.

This smear is not only demonstrably false and ignores Mr. King’s many communications to you advising you of the truth, but also demonstrates an exceedingly unprofessional failure to fact-check and verify information before publication.

We demand that the Atlanta Journal Constitution:

October 18, 2024 Page 3

1. Immediately publicly retract the defaming statement in the October 7, 2024, article.

2. Publish a prominent apology, equal in visibility and placement to the original defamatory article.

3. Cease and desist from further defamatory characterizations of the Dustin Inman Society.

Failure to comply with these demands may result in further legal action. We expect your prompt attention to this matter and await your timely response.

Sincerely,

Todd V. McMurtry
