FBI Raids Imperial Pacific HQ on Saipan, Governor Also Targeted
 Philip Conneller
4 hours ago
The FBI raided the offices of the governor of the Northern Mariana Islands on Thursday, as well as the headquarters of Imperial Pacific International, the Chinese company currently building the Imperial Palace Casino on the island of Saipan, according to local press.

The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) comprises Saipan and Guam, and as one of the US’s remotest territories, falls under US jurisdiction.

This is the third time in as many years that US authorities have conducted raids on operations associated with Imperial. But it’s the first time the islands’ government has also been targeted.

The reason for Thursday’s raids is unclear.

Imperial Palace is in the process of suing Bloomberg for alleging financial improprieties between the island’s governance and Imperial Pacific, an assertion both parties have strongly denied.

Governor Spoke to FBI
In an official statement on Thursday, CNMI Governor Ralph Torres said he swore to uphold the Constitution and that he was cooperating with the agency’s inquiries.

“I will continue to do what I have always done, which is to support the goals and aspirations of the people I serve and to remain worthy of this privilege that has been given to me,” Torres added.

In a press conference later in the day, Lt. Gov. Arnold Palacios confirmed Torres had met with FBI agents, adding that the governor had provided “full access” to his office, as reported by The Guam Daily Post.

“We have provided them with all the information and access that they have asked for. We have been completely transparent and helpful with the investigation,” Palacios said. “This has not slowed down any of our government operations or ongoing initiatives that we have undertaken to improve the economy, and the lives of our people.”

Labor Transgressions
Imperial Palace first caught the attention of US authorities in 2017 when a construction worker fell from scaffolding on site and was killed.

The FBI found unsafe working conditions and widespread visa violations. Investigators discovered that many workers had been trafficked from China and were severely underpaid.

The US Labor Department ordered Imperial Pacific contractors to award $13.9 million in back wages and damages. Two contractors were charged with importing and harboring illegal aliens.

Bloomberg reported that Imperial Pacific’s offices on Saipan were then raided in March 2018 and that agents were seen removing boxes of documents. The company denied this.

Who Owns Imperial Pacific?
Imperial Pacific was founded by a mother-and-son team of junket operators, Cui Lijie and Ji Xiaobo, who had grown wealthy in Macau. They were granted the sole casino license on Saipan in 2014, despite having never built or operated a casino before.

While the casino hotel is partially open, the company has consistently missed deadlines to complete the project.

We want to assure the people of the CNMI that we continue to be law-abiding and good corporate citizens who are proud and privileged to be members of the CNMI,” said Imperial Pacific in a statement.

“We want (to) assure our employees, their families, vendors, patrons, and residents alike that our companies are intent on succeeding and making the CNMI the jewel of the Pacific for our emerging gaming industry,” it added.

Victims must not continue to be victimized.

The court has evidence of ongoing crime..

To correct the past crimes and stop the ongoing crimes the court can reopen the case and appoint a fair administrator.

It is much better for the court and the public and NEWS media to hear the criminals complain WRONGLY than to hear the victims complain RIGHTLY.

If the court does the right thing it will be praise by the public and news media but if the court does the wrong then it will be condemned and public opinion will be reflected in the news media.

Constitutional rights are not given up by ignorance and the victims have a constitutional right to be compensated for past victimization and to have the ongoing victimization stopped..

The right thing in this case is to correct the past criminal activity and prevent the ONGOING criminal activity by REopening this case end assigning a fair administrator.

I hereby motion for REconsideration and to be the administrator.

On Tuesday, members of the LeBaron family look at the car where some of the nine murdered family members were killed and burned earlier that week in Mexico.

Early Monday morning, along a remote dirt road that links the northern Mexican states of Chihuahua and Sonora, a group of men ambushed a convoy of three vehicles driven by three young mothers traveling with their 14 children. Even in the context of Mexico’s habitually grim crime news, the details of what happened are shocking. According to a straightforward and affecting statement by Julián LeBaron, leader of the Mormon community in northeastern Chihuahua that the victims called home, two of the women were on their way to visit family while another one was heading to pick up her husband from the Phoenix airport. “They never made it,” LeBaron wrote. The women and children were “shot, burned and murdered in cold blood.”

ADVERTISEMENT

Rhonita Maria Miller was killed and incinerated inside her car, along with four of her children, including Titus and Tiana, her 8-month-old twins. Christina Marie Langford apparently stepped out of her car and, according to LeBaron’s account, “waved her arms to let her attackers know that there were women and children inside the vehicles.” They shot her anyway. Dawna Ray Langford was also murdered, next to two of her boys. Five other children were wounded in the attack. After the assault, 13-year old Devin Blake Langford hid wounded children behind bushes by the side of the road and walked over 14 miles back to La Mora, the Sonoran community from where they had departed, to get help.

When family members finally reached the scene, they found a hellish sight. They took pictures. (The LeBaron family sent me these photographs, which I have seen and will describe, but will not share in this story due to their graphic nature.) One shows a child shot, sunken like a small bundle on the floor of one of the cars, his left arm softly hugging the back seat. In another one, a woman slumps against the driver’s seat, broken glass strewn around her, the screen of her SUV still shining. LeBaron also posted video of one of the vehicles, burnt beyond recognition. “There were just a few charred bones left,” he later wrote. In the middle of the carnage, the men found a miracle: a baby girl, unharmed, still strapped into the car seat where her mother had left her. Her name is Faith.


This is not the first time that the LeBaron community, a peaceful and hardworking group that has lived in northeastern Chihuahua for a century, has been the victim of violence. Ten years ago, criminals abducted 16-year-old Eric LeBaron and demanded $1 million for his release. In an act of remarkable audacity the family, led by Julián and his brother, Benjamín, chose not to pay the ransom and instead organized a series of boisterous protests. Surprisingly, their resistance paid off: Eric was freed within a week. After the ordeal, Benjamín LeBaron became an outspoken community leader against organized crime in the region. But violence had the last word. Two months after Eric’s release, local gangs sought retribution. A group of armed men stormed Benjamín’s house and took both Benjamín and his brother-in-law, Luis Widmar. They were found shot soon afterward.

After the murders, Julián LeBaron picked up his brother’s activist mantle. Despite the tragic outcome of his family’s decision, he stood by his belief of not giving in to lawless blackmail. When I interviewed him in late 2010, LeBaron told me Mexican authorities had betrayed Benjamín’s trust, conspiring with local criminals against the family’s resistance. “They died like martyrs,” he told me. In 2011, he joined poet Javier Sicilia, whose own son had been brutally killed in southern Mexico, on a weekslong march for peace. The group eventually met with President Felipe Calderón for a historic—if mostly ineffective—series of public conversations about the Mexican government’s strategy against the country’s criminal organizations.

That such horrific violence has once again struck the LeBaron community speaks to the Mexican government’s inability to defend even its most obviously vulnerable citizens. A decade ago, Julián LeBaron told me that those who killed his brother still roamed the streets. “Some of them still threaten us,” he said. Indeed, the men responsible for Benjamín’s brutal execution were never caught.


This time around, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador faces unprecedented pressure to find the culprits—and not just from an outraged Mexican society. In Washington, Republican lawmakers have condemned López Obrador’s flawed security strategy (Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton called it “a fairy tale”). President Donald Trump himself took to Twitter to offer Mexico military help. (The victims were all dual U.S.-Mexican citizens.) Alex LeBaron, another eloquent spokesman of the aggrieved community, soon replied. “Want to help? Focus on lowering Drug Consumption in United States,” he tweeted. “Want to help some more? Stop the ATF and Gun Law loopholes from systematically injecting high powered assault weapons to Mexico.” Trump didn’t respond to LeBaron, and López Obrador declined Trump’s offer. “It is up to us to fix this,” Mexico’s president said.

It won’t be easy. Criminal organizations have grown increasingly aggressive. López Obrador himself has been under severe scrutiny after his controversial decision to free Ovidio Guzmán López, leader of the powerful Sinaloa Cartel and son of imprisoned kingpin Joaquín “Chapo” Guzmán, following a botched government operation to arrest and extract the younger Guzmán.

Julián LeBaron immediately rejected the government’s first absurd theory of what happened: a case of mistaken identity. “They did not confuse them with anyone else,” he said in an interview. “They brutally killed women and children.” As of now, there are no further leads.

For LeBaron and his community, the tragedy along the Sonoran back roads is the product of years of neglect. The vast, mostly deserted area between Sonora and Chihuahua has long been a battleground for the local cartels, who use it to reach the lucrative Arizona market. That criminals opened fire on a group of women and children seems to be a natural, horrendous progression of both cruelty and lawlessness. Ten years ago, just a few months after his brother’s death, I asked LeBaron about the future. He was optimistic, he told me. Mexico had everything going for it. But there was a caveat. “There cannot be peace without justice,” he told me. LeBaron was right then, and he is right now.
