SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 25 – Andre Ngono sued the
Africa Employment Agency for,
among other things,
"trafficking in persons as
related to labor
trafficking."
On June 23, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York
Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn
held a proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
The lawyer
for the defense directed Judge
Netburn to a criminal case he
said is related, involving the
plaintiff engaging in identity
theft.
On the basis, he
argued for an enhanced
protective order, not only
about destruction or return of
information, but how the
information can be used.
Now on June 25,
the US Attorney's Office in
the criminal case US v. Ngono,
16-cr-357 (Crotty) has opposed
the motion to modify the
protective order, saying that
Ngono "used the Victim's
identity to apply for and
receive immigration benefits
under the Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals ('DACA')."
Ngono was sentenced to four
years on May 5, 2017.
The US Attorney's Office says
Ngono "has civil discovery
tools at his disposal." Watch
this site.
The civil case is
Ngono v. Owono et al.,
21-cv-95 (Gardephe /
Netburn)
