!!!plz help!!!

Dear Sirs/Madams,
 
 
 
I am writing to you for assistance.
 
I was sent to a concentration camp in USA for more than two years. 
I graduated from University of Houston with a master ‘s degree. I have been unlawfully deported by ICE/DHS,USA. I lose almost all of my legal documents and my whole life properties.
 
I filed law suits against U.S. government before deportation including CIA agent and federal prisons in U.S.A. for damages and monetary relief.
U.S.A. conducted a series of violation of U.S. Constitution and norms of international law of human rights and the law of nations or a treaty of the United States in year 2004, 2008, 2009 and 2010. United States discarded its fundamental: separation of powers.
The U.S. courts works together with the U.S. government to punish the individual. Individual do not have any human rights in U.S.A.
 
In year 2004, I travelled to washington, D.C. and was making a movie on the street. I did not violate any rule or regulation at that time. CIA's seizure and retainted my China Passport and movie products and other properties constituted an improper exaction in contravention of the Innocent Owner Exception Provisions of 21 U.S.C. §§ 801, 881 (1988 & Cum. Supp. 1997), and 18 U.S.C. § 981 (a)(2) for which it is entitled to damages or other monetary relief.
In year 2008, this unlawful search and seizured passport was passed to immigration judge at 5520 greens road, Houston, TX 77032. this passport is currently in possession of Houston Processing Center, a branch of Department of Homeland Security at the same address as the immigration judge's.
Department of Homeland Security and Immigration Judge use unlawful searched and seizured properties for public use and as evidences in conspiracy of violation of U.S. Constitution and Statute and malicious prosecution against plaintiff.
 
I wish you could interfere with my cases because the cases involve serious violation of human rights and law.
 
I wish you could contact a lawyer for me for my lawsuits,
I wish that the lawyer would takes contingent fee for services.
All of the cases have good merits for civil rights, I have went through most of the court pleadings.

While all my cases panding, I was unlawfully deported, I have I-485 case pending with USCIS, the case numbers are  I-360:EAC-10-026-50727 ,I-485: EAC-10-026-50728, I am currently in Urumqi, China.
 
 
I have been unlawfully deported to China by ICE/DHS.
 
I have submitted a Petition For Writ Of Certiorari on /or about March 29 or March 30, 2010.
While this case is pending in the Supreme Court, ICE/Houston locked me up with handcuffs and shackles and chains and sandbags over shackles on/or about April 8th, 2010.
And on/or about April 9th 2010, ICE/Houston carried me on an airplane by force. I was shipped like a parcel from IAH airport, and shipped me to Newark airport, then shipped me PEK airport, China, then turned me to China custody with prisoner’s uniform.
 
During the whole flights, I was shackled and handcuffed in excruciating pain because of ICE/Houston put big sand bags over shackles, and the shackles edges cut into my skin.
 
Then I was transferred to an unknown black detention site, All of Baggage was taken away from me and was opened and all documents were copied, I was placed in solitary confinement, I was held in twenty-four-hour light and through constant exposure to deafeningly noise, alternating with deafeningly loud music.  For about 16 days,  No phone call was allowed, no tooth brushing allowed, no shower allowed,  no letter was allowed. I was beaten and forced to confess and sign some promises.  After I was forced to confess and signed under duress, I was transferred to my final destination of deportation, Urumqi. After another two days detention, I was released, because I signed a promises to report and make confess every month.
 
No one gave a single penny of money. ICE try to murder me by starvation.  I do not have any money of my own, I have to beg for food for one weeks until I find friends for help.
 
I am not able to access any legal document, because ICE refused to give them to me.
 
ICE Denied me to access the court by refusing to provide enough printing paper and postages.
I finished the petition of writ of Certiorari on March 15, 2010, but ICE refused to provide enough printing paper and postages to mail it to the Court.
The the petition of writ of Certiorari was mailed on March, 29th ,2010, ICE intended to delay delivery the court document which is serious violation of the law.
ICE Denied me to access the court by denial of me to carry my court documents with me.
On April 29th, 2010, ICE refused me to take all me court document with me, less than 1/100 of my legal documents were allow to carry with me. Almost all of my legal paper was lost, ICE is responsible for the loss of my legal paper, with is serious violation of the law.
 
ICE/Houston brutally injured my leg by put sand bags over shackles on both of my leg.
The sharp edges of shackles cut both of my legs, and caused my leg bleeding.
 
 
 
I wish you could contact a lawyer for me for my lawsuits,
I wish that the lawyer would takes contingent fee for services.
All of the cases have good merits for civil rights, I have went through most of the court pleadings.
 
                     Sincerely,

NYGOP News Alert - Chairman Cox: Democrats in Disarray While Senate Republicans Stand United, Poised to Lead

PRESS RELEASE

Cox: Democrats in Disarray, While Senate Republicans Stand United, Poised to Lead   

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

 Contact: Alex CareyCell: 518-817-5501ACarey@NYGOP.org
Albany, New York . . . June 29, 2010 - "As Senate Democrats seek Republicans' support to override Governor Paterson's vetoes, New Yorkers are provided with the starkest example yet of how harmful the Democrats' complete control of state government is to future of this state.  I commend Senator Skelos and the Senate Republican caucus for standing united in the fight to reduce New York State's deficit and in opposition to bailing out Democrats in the legislature who are responsible for this mess. "The process undertaken by Senator Sampson and Speaker Silver, behind closed doors, in total secrecy, and at the exclusion of Senate Republicans, is not only un-Democratic, but resulted in a budget that will harm every taxpayer, family, business and industry in New York State.  Senate Republicans have championed the need for fiscal restraint consistently since the Governor released his budget five months ago. Senate Republicans promised they would not vote for any budget that includes new taxes, fees or borrowing and they have kept that promise; they won't bail out the Democrats. In the midst of this fiscal calamity, New Yorkers are left with little doubt as to which party is capable of addressing this budget crisis come November, and of putting New York back on a path towards progress and prosperity." -30-
