Illegal Immigration: Complaint Against Walker County (GA) Commissioners Sent Today to Sheriff Steve Wilson - UPDATED AND CORRECTED

UPDATED AND CORRECTED 5:50 PM July 14: I apologize for the confusion. The below complaint post has been corrected and a corrected complaint has been sent to the Walker Co. Sheriff. The address of Aztec framing is located in Catoosa County, not Walker County. But according to the information posted on the Walker County website (as linked) they are in violation regardless of the location of Aztec Framing. I note that Walker Co. is not the only entity to be in violation of state laws aimed at illegal immigration.

I did contact both counties (and the city of Rossville) today trying to pin down the correct county before writing the complaint. The confusion on Aztec Framing location was mine.

I left the incorrect info on the post so that my error is visible and marked the inaccurate text with strikethrough lines. And I corrected the headline…it’s not a “compliant.”

COMPLAINT – REQUEST FOR INVESTIGATION AND REPORT

To; Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson 14 July 2021

Walker County Sheriff Office
105 South Duke Street
Lafayette Georgia 30728
706-638-1909

Subject: Ongoing Violation of OCGA 50-36-1 and OCGA 50-36-2

Dear Sheriff Wilson,

Walker County Board of Commissioners are apparently overseeing, sanctioning and participating in illegally accepting applications for, processing and issuing the Occupational Tax Certificates (aka “Business License”) required by law to establish and operate businesses in your county.

This violation of state law designed to deter the crimes of illegal immigration and illegal employment has reportedly resulted in permitting at least one business in Walker County (Aztec Framing, 1641 Lafayette Rd, Rossville, GA 30741) to be openly operated for years by an illegal alien who hired and then harbored other illegal aliens.

I have noted the Walker County application for Occupational Tax Certificates posted on the official county website and spoken to various staffers today. Walker County is ignoring the verification of lawful presence requirement and the Secure and Verifiable ID laws for processing and issuing at least one public benefit – that being Occupational Tax Certificates.

I charge that the below elected officials are in violation of OCGA 50-36-1 and OCGA 50-36-2 and am requesting a full investigation and that a report be sent to the GBI and to the state Attorney General, Chris Carr.

Chairman – Shannon Whitfield

I write with the confidence that you will fully investigate the below complaint and with heartfelt gratitude for the courage and professional way you and your Deputies and staff conduct the dangerous business of protecting and serving Georgians. At our house we honor and respect law enforcement officers.

Please contact me with any questions if I can provide further assistance in securing Walker County.

I will send my request for a copy of the investigation report in 30 days.

Respectfully,

D.A. King

Marietta, GA. 30066

—>UPDATE: The liberal AJC prints a lengthy correction after demand letter from the Dustin Inman Society. More news on this coming soon.

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.”

October 18, 2024 Page 2

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
