Is this a trap? US Marshals Service puts up IML Complaint form.
As part of the International Megan’s Law, the US Marshals Service has been notifying receiving countries when a registrant is traveling. You can imagine how the immigration officials in a country you are traveling to will react when they receive a warning from the US Marshals that you are arriving.
Travelers have been intercepted upon arrival, interrogated and turned back on the next flight. In most cases, they are denied entry, unable to attend to business, visit family, attend a loved one’s wedding ceremony or simply see the world. The effects of IML have been devastating.
But is it possible that the US Marshals service has a complaint form where you can tell them about your ruined travel plans?!? A link on their site indicates they do: https://www.usmarshals.gov/sex-offender-complaint-form.html
Why? What are they going to do with this? Use it for entertainment? Send thank you notes to countries who reject registrants? I’m skeptical.
What do you think? Should we share the horror stories in the belief that they are genuinely concerned about all the negative consequences of these notifications? Or should we provide absolutely no non-required information to the government, assuming they will match the complaints with the notifications in an effort to arrest anyone who failed to notify.

I still want to know what a Green Notice actually says is there a way to post a copy of one here so we can see what they are tellimg foreign governments about us
If anyone has a copy, please share it with legal@floridaactioncommittee.org. we will redact and post.
IML indicates that the USMS through a “Green Notice” may transmit “relevant” information. It does not specifically outline the required information, and leaves the USMS with a wide discretion of information the they could deem relevant. At a minimum, name, date of birth, passport information, offense(s) information, travel dates, flight information, addresses, and other identifying information. It is possible for them to transmit finger print data and DNA markers.
According to Interpol, a Green Notice is to provide warnings and intelligence about persons who have committed criminal offences and are likely to repeat these crimes in other countries.
Further, A green notice may only be published if it provides sufficient identifiers. Sufficient identifiers mean at least:
(a) either the family name, forename, sex, date of birth (at least the year), along with the physical description, DNA profile, fingerprints or data contained in identity documents (passport or national identity
card, for example); or
(b) a photograph of good quality, along with at least one identifier such as an alias, the name of one of the parents, or a specific
physical characteristic not visible in the photograph.
I like the idea of gumming up the works on a annual or semi annual basis. I’m in
Compliat! Find any other labeled offender that would comply. I went to court, owned up to my responsibility, did my sentance. All the compliance the Constitution required. Now it happen I go forward. No, I’m branded, humiliated, reputation ruined, in fear of imprisonment for the actions of others now and in the future. Unemployable, outcast, not part of sociatoral events, activities and relationships. Punished daily for being a Registered Citizen. Comply! More like fall off the earth cause im scrum of the world.
Seems to be hit and miss I traveled out of the country by cruise ship and I was nervous the all the way until the ship left port but nothing happened until I returned customs pulled me but the only questions the officer asked me was about the amount of goods and alcohol my spouse and I purchased on the ship (it was quite a bit) no separating us all was done in a fairly open area and we were done in 15 minutes
which cruise line?
Carnival
LUCKY!
i thought carnival was one of the lines that where booting RSO of ships ?
They are that’s why I was nervous I kept trying to prep my spouse for the possibility I may not be allowed to sail She said have faith she did So I see it as blessed more than lucky
People fail to get into the details of such situations to find a pattern. The real important questions to ask are:
Are you actively on a public registry?
Were you given a classification or ‘level’?
Felony or misdemeanor?
Did you give any notice of travel?
How long in advance did you purchase the tickets?
I had emailed the Registrant TAG matrix website (http://registranttag.org) and asked them to put in effort into tracking the actual important details of registrants’ details because those details are what determines who does and who doesn’t get into an international destination. There are 8-10 questions that should be asked of each person who travels overseas for us to understand how the system works internally. The current TAG travel matrix isn’t very helpful since it doesn’t track these critical details.
Well, for me, very lucky, my birth certificate from jamaica is all I need to use for travel from island to island..they know me and dont ask for anything else.
No problem mon! Dont sign a thing..just smile mon..then again, who is going to question a chef that used to appear on TV..and fed many hungry mouths and gave millions to those left unfortunate..it is about the deeds we do as humans! Bon Appetite Mon Amis
if you were subjected to the lies and hypocrisy of so-called SOTP, told to walk away from anyone in distress, (especially a child!!)…then you know the correct response…”provide absolutely no non-required information to the government”…EVER
