					<description><![CDATA[I’m an intl expat employee for the last 10 years traveling back n forth from USA 3-5 times a year. My local &#038; state registering authorities are cool with it &#038; work with me when I’m out of country at registering time, sometimes I’ve been 2 months late without issue as long as I inform them about it &#038; keep in touch till I arrive back home.
I never heard of this new IML. Wash DC contacted my destination country of Kuwait in June 2017 with notice of my arrival. Kuwait customs had no reason why my passport was flagged &#038; took it but said no worries come get it in morning all will be resolved. Bear in mind I have been working in Kuwait for 7 years with valid resident visa &#038; civil ID. But it took 3 weeks to track my passport down all the way to Kuwait Interpole. The Captain said he needed info where I stay when in Kuwait so he could relay it back to Wash DC. I had no earthly idea why at the time since I do have other felonies on my record domestic drug trafficking &#038; weapons charges from 23 years ago. Bogus RSO requirement from 28 years ago. But the captain stated I had that lifetime registering requirement in US then I knew what he was talking about. He said Kuwait has now problem with me working &#038; living there. Been there 7 years already no problems. He gave me his card &#038; said call anytime if I have any issues when I’m in Kuwait. Super nice, super smart man. No more issue after that traveling to &#038; from Kuwait until Oct 2018, attempting return trip to Kuwait &#038; I was removed from plane in Atlanta told my passport was invalid (just renewed in Aug 2017). Rest is history reapplying for new passport &#038; filing for new visa in Kuwait since that Oct day last year. Suspect I will lose job &#038; career. 
Thank you good ole USA Government. Don’t care who’s life they wreck.]]></description>

It appears that they qualify a sex offender as yes a person with a child victim.. it appears that if you are just a rapist then  theoretically you could probably get around it.. Good luck on getting the Marshalls Service to distinguish between the two.. Keep writing and contact a lawyer if this applies to you.. you may be the case that unravels this law which would then create a vacuum for an even more stricter law to take it&#039;s place at which point we should wonder did we really help ourselves at all with unraveling the law..]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Let me get this straight..

I&#039;m not sure exactly which direction this conversation should go in but at some point we have to realize that if the government at least wants to hear from us now whether or not we believe it&#039;s a trap or not we should take advantage of it..

					<description><![CDATA[This form only applies to USMS notifications. So if ICE or Interpol does the notifying, this form is not valid and will not be responded to. 

Can you say, &quot;Holy Layers of bureaucracy!&quot;

I have a question concerning the IML statute itself. As I read it applies to minor victims.
(3) COVERED SEX OFFENDER.—Except as otherwise provided, the term ‘‘covered sex offender’’ means an individual who is a sex offender by reason of having been convicted of a sex offense against a minor. (


 That is contradictory to what the Marshalls site says below:

Whom does the International Megan’s Law apply to?
The IML has notable provisions that may impact all registered sex offenders who intend to travel outside of the United States. 

I shouldn&#039;t need a law degree to decipher whether or not I get arrested coming home from a family vacation to Aruba.

I have tried to contact ICE, CBP, you name it. No help at all.

Can anyone clarify, perhaps legally, that IML does apply to child victims only?

If not, how they are getting around that statutory language]]></description>

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 &#039;level&#039;? 
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&#039; details because those details are what determines who does and who doesn&#039;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&#039;t very helpful since it doesn&#039;t track these critical details.]]></description>

Indeed and the US government has taken a page directly from the Nazi handbook and are actively applying it to its own citizens!

There is no outrage and there will be outrage. Obama signed it and you know that he could do no wrong. What a load of sh^t!]]></description>

IML indicates that the USMS through a &quot;Green Notice&quot; may transmit &quot;relevant&quot; 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.]]></description>
