2012-10-20/10a-1p: Stop Foreclosure Outreach [See below for claim of collusion between LA Sherriff Dept. & foreign bank in eviction against Fed Judge orders.]
#FortLucero Events, Saturday 10/20/12 EAST LA OUTREACH EVENT FOR #FORTLUCERO WHEN: Saturday, 10/20/12 at 10:00AM until 1:00PM WHERE: #FortLucero 4748 Hamell St. Los Angeles CA 90022 Time to hit the streets, grassroots style! Let's knock on some doors, flash our beautiful smiles, and start a conversation with the community of East Los Angeles! The plan: meet at Fort Lucero @ 10:00am, coffee will be piping hot. From 10-10:30, we will have a few words from community members on the considerations of coming into an urban, diverse setting, and the ways in which we can communicate respect and deference. From there, we will split up the area and hit the pavement. Those who speak Spanish, on any level, especially encouraged to come and bring their skills. If you don't speak Spanish, please don't let that keep you from participating, there will likely be someone fluent in each group-cluster. If you arrive late, I will be leaving my phone number on the white board right outside the door; please call so you can find out where we're at and meet up! !Viva la revolucion, Viva Fort Lucero! ***Page for Fort Lucero: http://www.facebook.com/FortLucero - - - #FortLucero 19 October, 2012 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact Name: Carlos Perez Tel: 714.329.2262 Email: [email protected] DOCUMENTS PROVE COLLUSION BETWEEN LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF DEPT AND FOREIGN DEUTSCHEBANK TO EVICT AMERICAN FAMILY AGAINST FEDERAL JUDGE ORDERS. #FORTLUCERO AND OCCUPY FIGHTS FORECLOSURES DEMAND INVESTIGATION INTO CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD LATINO-AMERICAN HOMEOWNERS Federal Court Documents, Filed and Stamped by Sheriff's Department Demonstrate LA County Sheriffs, Carrington, Deutschebank Knew Family Could Not Legally Be Evicted; Carried Out Anyway. On September 14, 2012 Margarita Lucero entered into the LA County Sheriff's Department record of a United States Bankruptcy Court Los Angeles Division ruling, titled "ORDER CONTINUING HEARING OF BANKUNITED, N.A.'S MOTION FOR RELIEF FROM AUTOMATIC STAY" (Also attached, see SMOKINGGUN). This ruling, in title and substance, upheld the stay of eviction in place for the Lucero home (heretofore known as #FortLucero) at 4748 Hammel St., Los Angeles CA 90022. This ruling continued the case until October 2, 2012, at which time the judge issued a judgment extending the stay of eviction until Nov. 30, 2012 (Also attached, see NOVEMBER). Instead of honoring this higher court ruling, the LA County Sheriff's department (ostensibly yielding to the requests of Deutschebank lawyer Marc J. Schwartz, Esq. State Bar #185346, who knew his requests violated the law) chose to ignore the higher court and instead honor a lower court ruling from the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles issued on September 26, 2012 to evict the Lucero family on September 27, 2012. This is, by nature, unlawful, but this lower court ruling also specifically states that NO LOCKOUT IS AUTHORIZED PRIOR TO OCTOBER 26, 2012 (Also attached, see SHAMEXCUSE). After the family was locked out of the home (unlawful eviction completed), Carrington agent Luis Garza then gave the family a key to the new lock and return to the home. On October 15, 2012, Garza then filed a false report with the sheriff's department that the family had broken back into the home. Sheriffs were prepared to act on his word without question until activists intervened. Because the prior illegal eviction has been executed, and Garza voluntarily gave access to #FortLucero to the family after the lockout was complete, the sheriffs no longer have jurisdiction to trespass on the property (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=U0qjEz5Sn_E). Occupy Fights Foreclosures, a subcommittee of Occupy Los Angeles, the Home Defenders' Alliance, and Occupy Whittier (together with the Lucero family known as #FortLucero) will stand beside the Lucero family until the injustice of this case is rectified and a full investigation of these corrupt practices has been conducted. We see in this case a striking example of the flagrancy with which the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, tasked with protecting and serving the citizens of Los Angeles County, will conspire with international banks and violate American courts to evict American citizens, all while blaming homeowners' race, language, education and socioeconomic statuses to claim non-existent and provable procedural violations. #FortLucero demands a full investigation into this collusive and corrupt relationship and demands justice, not only for the Lucero family but all American families being defrauded by this and other international unions between public servants and private international financiers. For additional information, please contact Carlos Perez or email [email protected]. - - - #FortLucero Quotations "I'd like to thank everyone who has supported our family. We are so grateful to see such solidarity and want others in need to know that we are here for each other." Margarita Lucero, Homeowner. "The East LA community has responded with open arms. We have been working together extremely well and we look forward to continuing this fight against foreclosures." Frankie, Neighborhood Activist. "This case may contain the most pervasive and overwhelming fraud of any I've personally seen. It is rotten to the core, and Deutschebank knows it. They were willing to expose themselves legally in order to cover the dirt by fast-track evicting this incredibly courageous family, and the family has called their bluff." Matt Ward, Occupy Fights Foreclosures activist. "Wall Street Banks, loan sharks, and foreclosure service agencies have ripped off the Lucero family," says Vlad Popescu of Occupy Fights Foreclosures. "This is where we draw the line. Injustice to one is an injustice to all." "With foreclosures, the battle to retain employment, and downright struggles of life we forget the most vulnerable and precious among us the kids. What future are we building for them? What examples are we setting?" Maegan Nikolic, Occupy Fights Foreclosures. "This is just the beginning, but it is sad that we have so far to go to achieve justice." Matthew, Occupier and Home Defender. - - - Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2012 17:43:06 -0700 From: Matt Ward <[email protected]> Subject: [occupyfightsforeclosures] Press Kit Regarding Breaking Story Surrounding #FortLucero Spent the whole afternoon blasting this out to everyone I knew and all news desks. If you have any media contacts, please forward it along. Also, it'd be really great if someone could translate the content into Spanish so we may alert Latino networks as well. It will likely play there better than those I reached out to.
