Kansas: Muslim Brotherhood’s MSA ramps up after Boston attacks

Muslims are getting more bold after each successful terror attack. After Boston, Muslims decided to get in the faces of non-Muslims with a ‘Meet a Muslim Person’ ruse. This one at Johnson County Community College in rural Johnson County, Kansas just outside Kansas City – where Hamas has been active for decades. h/t @causingfitna

Notice the saying on the back of the t-shirts of the prostrated Muslims: “Islam is not just a religion it is a way of life.”

We’d like to contribute to the campaign too.

And of course, whose to say the MSA members in the slideshow at the top of the page are any different than the infamous MSA alumni who have been convicted of terrorism or are wanted for waging jihad? Or have been killed or captured? Or sit atop the FBI Most Wanted List? A few months ago, you may have meet these two Muslims at an MSA Meet a Muslim Person event.

Spreading Islam and sharia in Kansas City

h/t @CausingFitna

We profiled Sabeel Ahmed several years ago. These are the types of people who preach hate against non-Muslims in U.S. mosques and universities – aka dawah.

Director of Islamic dawah ads in his own words December 24, 2009

The foremost thing to realize is that Christmas is a big innovation [bidah] which is leading a big part of humanity to shirk (associating partners with God). Christianity has transgressed the limits set by Allah; therefore showing happiness and joy on Christmas, Halloween, Easter, Good Friday is like shaking hands with Satan and telling him to carry on the good work.

Remember Allah commandment to us in the Quran:

“Help you one another in virtue and righteousness, but do not help one another in sin and transgression. And fear Allah, verily Allah is severe in punishment”. (Quran, 5:2)

Therefore, a Muslim can’t enjoin in any aspect of Christmas in the disguise that Jesus is our Prophet too, we are just honoring him by celebrating Christmas. We should recognize the bidah of Christmas and the Prophet’s warning that all bidah should be rejected. Therefore, accepting Christmas invitations, attending Christmas parties, buying small plastic Christmas trees to please the kids (some Muslims actually do) should be avoided.

By greeting Christians with ‘merry Christmas’ we are legitimizing Christmas, by driving out on Christmas eve to witness the decoration of houses, we are appreciating bidah with our eyes, by placing our kids on the laps of Santa in the malls we are handing them in the hands of a fiend, by closing our Islamic Schools or shops during Christmas we are giving it our silent approval, by selling Christmas items in our shops, we are strengthening the pillars of Kufr.

By purchasing for children books with Christmas themes (‘The Night before Christmas’), by watching Christmas movies and by giving holidays to our regular Islamic schools or weekend schools, we are passing them a misguided message.

Indeed Islam came to tear down the pillars of kufr and replace them with the pillars of Islam.

Kansas: Muslim Charged w Killing Mom, Child Porn puts Sharia Lawsuit on Hold

via Judge dismisses accused killer’s discrimination suit

At Shawnee County Jail inmate Jason Hachmeister’s request, a federal judge has dismissed a discrimination suit he filed in December seeking $100 million from defendants that include Shawnee County.

U.S. Senior District Judge Sam Crow issued a four-page order last week sustaining Hachmeister’s motion to have the suit dismissed without prejudice, which enables Hachmeister to potentially re-file it later.

Hachmeister’s hand-written motion to dismiss the civil case said that after considering the effect it may have on his criminal cases, he was seeking the dismissal because he thought it would be in his best interest “to have my name in the paper, on TV, etc. as little as possible until after my trials.”

Hachmeister added, “I still have the case law to back up my charges, but I am more concerned with the next 50 years of my life right now.”

Hachmeister is scheduled to go to a jury trial May 13 on a premeditated first-degree murder charge in the September 2010 slaying of Sheila Hachmeister, his mother. Sheila Hachmeister was stabbed before being strangled to death in her southwest Topeka home, where Jason Hachmeister lived in the basement.

Hachmeister also faces a jury trial March 11 on charges of 108 counts of child pornography possession, which authorities said emerged during the investigation into his mother’s death.

Crow’s Feb. 20 dismissal order also assessed Hachmeister the full $350 fee for filing the dismissed lawsuit, to be collected through payments automatically deducted from his inmate trust fund account.

Shawnee County counselor Rich Eckert said Friday: “I am glad to see the judge order the full filing fee to be paid. The administration of justice is not a subject to be taken lightly and frivolous prisoner litigation needs to be discouraged.”

Hachmeister acted as his own attorney in filing the suit in a handwritten petition submitted Dec. 26 to U.S. District Court in Topeka.

Named as defendants were the state of Kansas, the Shawnee County Commission, the Shawnee County Jail, Aramark Correctional Services, an Aramark employee and 12 former or current Shawnee County employees. Hachmeister subsequently filed a document seeking to remove the state as a defendant because it is legally immune from a suit of the type he filed.

The suit contended Hachmeister, who became a practicing Muslim on Jan. 12, 2012, experienced discrimination and indifference in the jail on multiple occasions because of his religious beliefs.

The petition said Hachmeister in January 2012 began requesting and receiving a certified religious diet from the jail, which failed on numerous occasions last year during the Muslim season of Ramadan to provide him food that properly met the requirements of his faith.

Crow issued an order Jan. 22 giving Hachmeister 30 days to fix legal various deficiencies in the suit while indicating Crow might dismiss it unless Hachmeister failed to fix those deficiencies.

The order also required Hachmeister to pay an initial $7.50 filing fee in the case.

Hachmeister indicated he had paid that in the motion he filed seeking to dismiss the case without prejudice on Feb. 19. Crow sustained that motion the following day.

Muslims building Islamic enclave in Wichita

Creeping in Kansas. via Islamic Society of Wichita rezones about five acres near mosque for development | Wichita Eagle Blogs. h/t hps

The Islamic Society of Wichita has rezoned about five acres of land near its mosque at K-96 and Woodlawn.

The society sought general office zoning in preparation for development that could include an apartment complex, an office complex, a medical clinic and a financial institution.

“It’s not about making money,” says Muhammad Aamir Usmani, director of the society’s board of development. “It’s about supporting our existing services.”

Usmani, who manages the IT help desk at Wichita State University, says the society first started building on the almost 9-acre property in 2000.

“Initially, we had a gym,” he says.

It served as a multipurpose building. Then, the group added a mosque and a school followed by another building.

“Everything is attached to each other right now,” Usmani says.

The buildings look separate, though.

The latest building is a new school for pre-K through eighth grade. Fundraising is under way for a high school to be built on the second floor.

“Our goal is to start ninth (grade) in August,” Usmani says.

He says while there are tuition fees, the society still needs to raise money for education and outreach programs to the community.

“We need to keep doing that and possibly expand it.  . . .  There are a lot of programs that are supported by the community.”

Usmani says 600 to 800 people regularly attend the mosque.

“There’s a lot of expenditure.”

That’s why he says the society is seeking additional sources of revenue.

“We need to make sure we start raising some funds so we can support our services to the community.”

A 2-story apartment complex is a possibility. The apartments would be available to anyone in Wichita – not only Islamic Society members.

“It will be totally open,” Usmani says. “But, of course, there will be some people who would like to live closer to the center. We anticipate that a lot of people would like to come closer to the center.”

In other words, this will be a five-acre Islamic city block. If not initially, eventually.

A small bank or credit union is a possibility as well.

“We will also have an office complex,” Usmani says. “Also, we might have a small clinic eventually.”

There would be an expanded parking lot as well along with a possible small soccer field.

The Wichita City Council approved the rezoning with some conditions, and Usmani says the society is working with a consultant to see what’s possible as far as development. He says the society also is working with the nearby neighborhood association “to make sure that they’re OK with it.”

Usmani says the society’s board will finalize how it wants to proceed and then raise the money to do it.

“We are in the process right now,” he says. “We’re pretty confident.”

Muslim Brotherhood tells us they are in the United States – anyone listening?

via causingfitna

The Muslim Brotherhood in America and some of the leading Islamic groups throughout the USA have been a hot button issue for some time. Both corrupt/ignorant politicians and the media have tried repeatedly to paint any who speak of the Muslim Brotherhood as “crazies”……. that is coming to an end. The “Ikhwan” AKA “Muslim Brotherhood” has been in America long enough to plant their offspring on U.S. soil making them legal citizens even in the event that they are deported, thus the Ikhwan remains.  DEPORTED Dr. Salah Sultan of Ohio is a perfect example.

In a few recent articles by Patrick Poole, and a documentary put out by Glenn Beck called “The Project”, newly found pictures of Dr. Salah Sultan made it clear he was a Muslim Brotherhood operative in the U.S.

The newly found pictures of Salah Sultan were found by  ”CAUSING FITNA” while researching Kansas City Islamic groups that raised our attention through some of their actions and online activity.

We have continued to research these ties of  Salah Sultan and Kansas City. Below you will see a recent picture of Dr. Salah Sultan, The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, and Mohammed Sultan, a Ohio State University grad, and former President of the Muslim Students Association at OSU.

Note to new readers: The Muslim Students Association or MSA “was established mainly by members of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) in January 1963 at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.“

…

A closer look at Mohamed Sultan’s twitter feed may give some insight into the Ohio MSA and how his father raised him.

Note: The “ikhwan” is the Muslim Brotherhood.

Mohamed Sultan is a Citizen of Ohio, which the last time I checked was in the UNITED STATES…… any questions?

This is without a doubt open praise of HAMAS. The so-called LION in the picture above is none other than Khaled Mashal, a Palestinian political leader. Mashal has been the main leader of the Palestinian organization Hamas since 2004.

Note: Hamas is an Islamic terrorist organization, designated so by Bill Clinton, and one of the military wings of the Muslim Brotherhood – as stated in the Hamas Covenant.

Read that again.

…

As stated previously, we became more interested in the activities of the Sultan family while researching Kansas City Islamic groups. The Islamic Center of Johnson County in Overland Park, Kansas is very well acquainted with Mohammed Sultan. The picture above shows Imam of ICJC Dahee Saeed with Mohamed Sultan in Kansas City. With ICJC planning a new Mega Mosque in the Overland Park community, Kansans might want to know a bit more about this group, and if they are affiliated with the Ikhwan in any way.  It should be noted that the Muslim Brotherhood have been well established in Kansas City for many years, as documented in Steve Emerson’s “Jihad in America”. A portion of that can be seen here highlighting a convention at Bartle Hall - take note that this video is posted from the youtube favorites playlist (screencapture below) of Mohammad Albadawi, a leader with the Islamic Society of Greater Kansas City, as well as a leading organizer for MAS-ICNA conventions nationwide for many years. Screencapture attached in the case that Mr. Albadawi gets clever and removes this video from playlists.

Much more, read it all and watch the videos at Causing Fitna’s blog and follow him on Twitter.

Update:

…Mohamed Soltan has left America as of Feb 7th, 2013! That should be good news for anyone in Ohio and America. Of course there are still many Muslim Brotherhood supporters in the USA.

The Muslim Brotherhood has been telling us their goal for North America since 1991, An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Brotherhood in North America.

Kansas: Muslim charged with killing mom & child porn sues jail for $100M

via Inmate, a Topeka Muslim, seeks $100M in discrimination suit | CJOnline.com.

Shawnee County Jail inmate Jason W. Hachmeister, a practicing Muslim facing a murder charge linked to the strangulation of his mother, is pursuing a federal religious discrimination lawsuit seeking $100 million from defendants that include Shawnee County.

Hachmeister, acting as his own attorney, filed the suit in a handwritten petition submitted Dec. 26 to U.S. District Court in Topeka.

The petition consists of a 24-page complaint and 19 pages of supporting documents. It contends Hachmeister has experienced discrimination and indifference in the jail on multiple occasions because of his religious beliefs.

“Therefore the only way to get the jail and its administration to quit paying lip service to ‘fixing’ a problem when they don’t is to hit them in the pocketbook,” he wrote. “I am therefore asking for $100,000,000 (one hundred million dollars).”

Defendants listed in the petition include the state of Kansas; the Shawnee County Commission; the Shawnee County Jail; Aramark Correctional Services; Mary Fletcher, of Aramark Food Services; Richard Kline, the county’s former corrections director; Brian Cole, the current corrections director; corrections department employees Tim Phelps, Shawn King and Goody Ari; and six corrections department employees whose full names weren’t given.

The petition said Hachmeister in January 2012 began requesting and receiving a certified religious diet from the jail, which failed on numerous occasions last summer during the Muslim season of Ramadan to provide him with food that properly met the requirements of his Muslim faith.

Hachmeister wrote: “During Ramadan my (certified religious diet) food was messed with, not properly fixed by kitchen staff and administrators, even after repeated requests to do so. I have also listed other instances of food being tampered with and also when I’ve been locked down so Christians can pray or witness and when I’ve requested the same treatment I don’t even get the dignity of a response, let alone the ability for Muslims to do the same.”

County counselor Rich Eckert responded Wednesday that Shawnee County employs Aramark to provide meals to its jail inmates.

He said: “Our contract provides that Aramark must provide an alternative meal to accommodate religious restrictions. That is done every day. Sometimes our guests at the Department of Corrections find our meals not quite to the standards they are used to in the outside world. Lawsuits like these are common and this one will be summarily dealt with in the manner in which all these type of lawsuits deserve.”

Hachmeister, 38, remained an inmate Wednesday in the jail.

He is scheduled to go to a jury trial May 13 on a premeditated first-degree murder charge in the September 2010 slaying of Sheila Hachmeister, his mother, whom he told police he found dead lying on the floor of their southwest Topeka home, where he lived in the basement.

Sheila Hachmeister had numerous stab wounds to her hands and head but was determined to have died from strangulation.

Jason Hachmeister faces a second case involving charges on 108 counts of child pornography possession, which authorities said emerged during the investigation into his mother’s death. The jury trial in that case is set for March 11.

 

Radio host’s frank discussion on sharia law

On The Jim Bohannon Show. Listen to the frank and refreshing 40-minute discussion on sharia law with radio host Jim Bohannon and a Kansas politician – audio here.

We’ve talked about “shari’a law” on occasion on this program, but not everyone really knows what it means. Shari’a, which can be loosely translated from the Arabic as ‘legislation,’ is the moral code and religious law of Islam. It is derived from two sources: the religion’s holy book, the Quran, and by the actions taken by the prophet Muhammad and recorded during his lifetime. Shari’a deals with both secular concerns (economics, politics, crime) and religious issues (sexual relations, prayer, fasting, hygiene), and is interpreted by Islamic judges.

With immigration, shari’a law is starting to make inroads in Western countries, mainly in the area of family law within Muslim communities. In the United States, we live under the tenets of ‘Equal Protection Under the Law’ – but is such a thing possible if there is more than one set of laws that don’t necessarily agree with one another…not to mention that some of the underpinnings of shari’a law can easily be described as antiquated, or even barbaric by modern standards. Some jurisdictions are taking steps to prevent shari’a law from gaining a foothold in the U.S.; the state of Kansas last year passed a law preventing its use. We’ll learn more about that tonight from Republican Kansas state representative Peggy Mast.

Mega mosque coming to Overland Park, Kansas – Jan 12 meeting

We posted on this mosque before. It’s currently run out of a home converted into a mosque across from a rural county library. Check the Google street map of it. The surrounding area is wide open.

And what they plan to be soon, below.

If you lived in the area you may want to attend the meeting this coming Saturday. h/t @CausingFitna

Since we reported on their oath of allegiance to the Koran, they have since wiped the statement from their website. We screen capped before they erased it.

The Qur’an in its scope is the full and final divinely revealed constitution for mankind. It is also the textbook of the Muslim Iman (Faith) and the source book of Islamic laws, rules and regulations for the Muslims.

The Islamic Center of Johnson County, Inc., unequivocally affirms the Qur’an and the Sunnah as its eternal and ultimate constitution.

And since today they feature a hadeeth from Bukhari on their homepage, we thought it appropriate to share this Bukhari classic:

Volume 1, Book 2, Number 25:

Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:

Allah’s Apostle said: “I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah’s Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform that, then they save their lives and property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah.”

---

Volume 1, Book 2, Number 26:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah’s Apostle was asked, “What is the best deed?” He replied, “To believe in Allah and His Apostle (Muhammad). The questioner then asked, “What is the next (in goodness)? He replied, “To participate in Jihad (religious fighting) in Allah’s Cause.” The questioner again asked, “What is the next (in goodness)?” He replied, “To perform Hajj (Pilgrim age to Mecca) ‘Mubrur, (which is accepted by Allah and is performed with the intention of seeking Allah’s pleasure only and not to show off and without committing a sin and in accordance with the traditions of the Prophet).”

CBS picked up on the story now: Growing Muslim population looks to build larger gathering place in Johnson County (video here)

A house at 151st Street and Antioch Road in Johnson County that was converted into a prayer room for Muslims has reached its limit.

Directly behind the small house, on the same property, will become a new mosque, at least 97,000 square feet with four components – a gym, a community center, classrooms and the mosque.

It’s expected to be the largest mosque in the Kansas City metro.

There are 15 Islamic centers that serve an estimated 20,000 Muslims in the Kansas City area.

The Islamic Center plans to submit building permits to the city of Overland Park. They said they have received support from neighbors in the area.

Readers who probably are unaware of the mega mosque plans and definitely not aware of the information above.

It should also be noted that Arif Ahmad infiltrated the local citizenry before unveiling his mega mosque. He is a citizen advisor to the Overland Park Police Chief for non biased policing.

KU’s Islam Week speaker: “Islam came to tear down the pillars of kufr”

The Muslim Student Association wants to teach others about Muslims and the Islamic faith through its Islam Awareness Week on campus, and will host events throughout the week.

“The purpose is to educate people on Islam and Muslims,” said Iesha Kincaid, president of the Muslim Student Association. “There are a lot of stereotypes and misconceptions out there, so we hope to show what Islam is really about and get rid of some of those stereotypes and misconceptions.”

Kincaid said some of the misconceptions of Islam make people think it is nothing more than terrorism, oppression among women, disliking America and the Prophet Muhammad portrayed as a war lord.

Sabeel Ahmed’s website provides intimate insight into his thoughts on dawah, on Christians, and America. Much of his site is spent attempting to refute Indian authors critiques of Islam, but here are some of his thoughts, starting with Islamic dawah in U.S. schools:

BOTTOM LINE

We should use every opportunity presented or created to sensitize non-Muslim peers and school staff with Islam and establish an environment in which every where a non-Muslims turn, they notice Islam portrayed in a positive way and get influenced by it and eventually accept Islam with Allah’s guidance, insha Allah.

Sabeel Ahmed, 3 April 1998.

ICNA’s dawah guru on Christmas:

How should Muslims React to Christmas?

Being the custodians of Truth and the ‘Best Ummah created for mankind” and “witnesses unto Mankind”, we Muslims just can’t stay still as the society around us is entrapped by Satan. Enjoining good and forbidding evil should be our theme.

The foremost thing to realize is that Christmas is a big innovation [bidah] which is leading a big part of humanity to shirk (associating partners with God). Christianity has transgressed the limits set by Allah; therefore showing happiness and joy on Christmas, Halloween, Easter, Good Friday is like shaking hands with Satan and telling him to carry on the good work.

Therefore, a Muslim can’t enjoin in any aspect of Christmas in the disguise that Jesus is our Prophet too, we are just honoring him by celebrating Christmas. We should recognize the bidah of Christmas and the Prophet’s warning that all bidah should be rejected. Therefore, accepting Christmas invitations, attending Christmas parties, buying small plastic Christmas trees to please the kids (some Muslims actually do) should be avoided.

By greeting Christians with ‘merry Christmas’ we are legitimizing Christmas, by driving out on Christmas eve to witness the decoration of houses, we are appreciating bidah with our eyes, by placing our kids on the laps of Santa in the malls we are handing them in the hands of a fiend, by closing our Islamic Schools or shops during Christmas we are giving it our silent approval, by selling Christmas items in our shops, we are strengthening the pillars of Kufr.

Indeed Islam came to tear down the pillars of kufr and replace them with the pillars of Islam.

It may be Islamic awareness week on campus, but everyday is Islamic supremacist awareness day at Creeping Sharia and other fine blogs doing what the others refuse to do.

Kansas District Court Cites “American Laws for American Courts,” Rejects Sharia

via Kansas District Court First to Apply “American Laws for American Courts” | Blog – American Freedom Law Center. h/t @CausingFitna

A Kansas district court is the first to recognize the possible application of the American Laws for American Courts (ALAC) law in a case where a party sought to enforce a sharia-law based contract.  ALAC was adopted in Kansas earlier this year and it is based upon the model legislation drafted by AFLC Co-Founder and Senior Counsel David Yerushalmi. The case at hand, Soleimani v. Soleimani, involves an Iranian-American couple who had been married according to both sharia and later by state law.  At some point the woman divorced her husband (for cruelty and abuse) and sought to enforce a sharia-based prenuptial agreement called a mahr.  The mahr required the man upon a divorce that was no fault of the woman’s to pay 1,354 gold quare, which are coins valued at $500 apiece or the equivalent of $677,000.

In this case, the court held that the mahr was unenforceable for many reasons so the woman was not able to extract $677,000 from her otherwise bankrupt husband (obviously even if the woman had won, it would have been a victory on paper only).

Now, in most cases, sharia is used to abuse the woman. Thus, as the court pointed out in Soleimani, sharia allows the husband to unilaterally divorce his wife with but an utterance of “I divorce you” three times–a fiat divorce not granted to the wife.  Also, the woman loses custody of her children automatically under sharia when the children are still quite young irrespective of the best interests of the children (the latter “best interests” being the U.S. and international standard). Finally, even the mahr is often used against the woman because the negotiated amount is typically a pittance and far less than she might receive under state law marital dissolution distributions, especially if the couple had amassed even modest means.

In Soleimani, it just so happens that this case was about the woman trying to enforce a sharia agreement against the man. The court in Soleimani produced a well-considered and solid analysis of the problems associated with applying foreign contracts based upon foreign religious laws like sharia.  First, the court noted that the woman’s lawyer had failed to provide a properly authenticated translation of the Farsi-language document so there was no way he could actually ascertain the meaning or the legality of the document.

Second, the court noted that even if he accepts the basic points of the mahr as agreed to between the parties, the court as an institution of government, could not possibly allow its enforcement. The court explained that one possible reason for this agreement’s invalidity, and this is key for our purposes, is that Kansas lawmakers passed a law–the Kansas version of ALAC–which would “preclude the courts from applying foreign law, legal codes or systems that violate the public policy of our state or federal constitutions.” Kan. Sess. Laws, Chap. 136, p. 1089-90 (2012). And, as the court noted, the law of the land under which the mahr was created–sharia–is so inimical to our basic constitutional principles (bedrock principles of liberty such as Due Process and Equal Protection) that to attempt to apply those laws to rule on the mahr’s validity might very likely violate Kansas’ ALAC.

Kansas: Pakistani Hotel Owner Indicted On Charges Of Hiring Illegals

A Pakistani hiring illegal aliens near the Kansas City airport. Who were they? Where were they from? via Kansas Hotel Owners Indicted On Charges Of Hiring Undocumented Aliens | Hays Post.

The owners of an Overland Park, Kan., hotel have been indicted on charges of knowingly hiring undocumented aliens who were paid less than other employees, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said today.

Munir Ahmad Chaudary, 51, and his wife, Rhonda R. Bridge, 40, both of Overland Park, are charged with the following crimes:

One count of conspiracy to harbor undocumented aliens for personal gain.

– Five counts of harboring undocumented aliens for personal gain.

– Four counts of wire fraud.

The government is seeking to forfeit the proceeds of the crimes including two hotels the couple owns: The Clarion Hotel at 7000 W. 108th St. in Overland Park, and the Clarion Hotel at 11828 NW Plaza Circle in Kansas City, Mo.

“The grand jury’s indictment alleges these defendants knew they were hiring undocumented workers,” Grissom said. “They paid the undocumented workers less and they paid them in cash. Their economic motive was to cut their costs and to get an advantage on other hotels that abided by the law.”

In addition to the charges against the owners, one of the employees is being charged.Syed Naqvy, 34, Overland Park, Kan., a desk clerk, is charged with one count of making a false statement to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and one count of failing to depart from the United States as ordered.

None of the other undocumented workers is being arrested, Grissom said. They have been interviewed by immigration officials, who will decide what to do about their immigration status after the case has been concluded, Grissom said.

“This prosecution is aimed at unscrupulous employers who are a driving force behind illegal immigration,” Grissom said.

The indictment alleges that in December 2011 investigators from DHS Homeland Security Investigations and the Kansas Department of Revenue received information that the two Clarion hotels were employing undocumented aliens. Investigators interviewed hotel employees and learned that most of them were unlawfully in the United States.

In June 2012, an undercover agent took a job as a housekeeper at the Clarion hotel in Overland Park. The agent made it clear to Chaudary and Bridge when he was hired that he was unlawfully in the United States and had no documents allowing him to be employed, according to the indictment.

The agent learned that Chaudary and Bridge, through their business holdings including Rhonda & Son’s Inc., and Mac & Sons LLC, paid employees who they believed were illegally in the United States a lower hourly rate than other employees. When the undercover agent asked Chaudary why he was paid less, Chaudary told him it was because nothing was being withheld from wages to employees who were illegal.

The indictment alleges Chaudary, Bridge and their business holdings lowered their operating costs because:

– Illegal workers were paid less than other workers.

– The defendants did not pay the employer’s share of Social Security payments.

– The defendants did not pay workers compensation, unemployment insurance or other benefits.

Upon conviction, the alleged crimes carry the following penalties:
