I am currently traveling abroad and was notified by the State Department, that my passport has been revoked. I had to go to the U. S. Consulate and apply for a new passport with the indentifier included. If that new passport won’t allow me into the countries I wish to travel to, I will be forced to return to the United States which continually punishes me for a crime that I served my time for and have led a redemptive live since.

Am I reading this right?

Might as well issue a lifetime house arrest…it feels the same…

I believe so. To my understanding, the agency was notifying countries before IML ” unofficially ” by the green notices, but by passing IML and including those notifications to other countries, they made it ” official ” . I would think this is a good thing, because now it can be attacked with more solidarity than before, when addressing IML in court. It can maybe show how much of a burden it has become to registrants when traveling for work and vacations with family.

Is there maybe a due process complaint against the use of a Green Notice? The language of the notice says

“To provide warnings and intelligence about persons who have committed criminal offences and are likely to repeat these crimes in other countries.”

The use of the word likely, even though it is the standard language of the notice, suggests some increased chance of offending.

“Probable and likely are synonyms.” Anderson v. Bell, 303 S.W.2d 93, 98 (Mo. 1957).

We are subject to IML because of our obligation to register as known sex offenders, not probable sex reoffenders.

I understand that the Marshall service is still compelled to report our travels but forcing them come up with a new administrative solution could 1) allow more offenders to travel and 2) make the government rethink how invested it wants to be.

Thought that was in place irregardless of the marker. So the iml goes so does the notification? Is the suit really agaist the whole thing or just the marker? Seemed it was just about the identifier not the angelwatch system. Good if its the whole thing!

Not exactly correct.
Part of IML is the notification of receiving countries that a registrants is traveling there.
The reason why many registrants get turned away is because of the “green notice” sent by the US – informing them that a registrant is traveling there for potentially nefarious reasons.

We all just need to start vacationing in beautiful Hamilton Township, New Jersey where Representative Chris Smith actually resides in the state he represents for a month or so every year.

He sponsored IML, if he is afraid of us outside of the country I’m sure he’d appreciate being able to keep a personal eye on us in his own back yard.

Plus I’m sure the local PD would enjoy having to mass register a hundred or so vacationing RSO’s a few times a year.

Well the passport suit wont help as with or without it rso s are still forbidden from countries no matter whats on your passport. All it would do is eliminate the marker but we are still marked….
