Judge William Alsup Rules ELEM COLONY Can Bully, Threaten and Banish Members

 A California federal judge on Saturday tossed a suit by members of the Elem Indian Colony of Pomo Indians of the Sulphur Bank Rancheria over their alleged disenrollment, saying that a political struggle between the parties for control of the tribe didn’t offer the members access to habeas corpus relief under the Indian Civil Rights Act.

Adrian John Sr. and the other tribe-member plaintiffs had sought a writ of habeas corpus to prevent restraint of their liberty, claiming that the Elem Colony Tribal Council had tried to disenroll and banish them and that they remained under threat of being removed from the tribe’s California reservation.

In an order dismissing the case Saturday, U.S. District Judge William Alsup agreed with the tribal council that the members hadn’t shown their treatment by the tribal officials, based mostly on documents sent by the tribe in 2016 threatening them with disenrollment, reached the level of a “severe restraint” permitting habeas relief under the ICRA.

3 Days of Protest Against Disenrollment in UKIAH

Earlier today and for the next two days, members of the Elem Indian Colony Pomo Tribe will be protesting at the Ukiah Plaza alongside representatives from at least two other tribes in the area.

The group is challenging a cut in membership from the Clearlake Oaks tribe. Those involved in the protest say the Disenrollment/Paper Genocide
of tribe members is contrary to tribal law.

From the organizers:

Today's Stand against Dis-enrollment protest will be held in Ukiah today from 11:00-5:30 each day on April 6th, 7th, & 8th 2016. 

The Pomo Nations families have been targeted by these Zionist Attorneys Anthony Cohen, Lester Marston and David Rapport who specialize in the politically Disenrolling of Pomo people while the majority of their tribal clients are Tribal Governments from Sonoma, Lake, and Mendocino Counties! 

Question your Council why they continue to hire these low down dirty blood sucking attorneys. Who will eventually dis-enroll them "

STAND with your Native Brethren against corrupt Tribal Councils.
