This was on November 15 when I was threatened at @CatholicCharAtl with that they were going to get the police to shoot me and someone inside the agency went to tell me in Spanish that that was going to hurt my refuge, that -words more, words less- they could deport me for insisting on asking for information, that the police could get me out of there detained and jail me for days without me having family or anyone here in the USA, that they wouldn't be there.
In the same way, the person told me that he had seen how from there they brought out detained persons, that they did what they wanted, that they were not mandateful, that the police were aggressive with the Hispanics, etc. etc.... that is, pure psychoterror was what I was getting into, something that I can only interpret as almost a psychological manipulation that they know they can do because it is a person who is in a position of vulnerability, and does not know the right.
At the time I recorded that video, those of the agency @CatholicCharAtl (among whom was the casemanager and director of resettlement, a lawyer and a Venezuelan who works there) left me in the lobby alone, with the 4 doors closed, that is, without me having the possibility of anything, that is, I was there ENCERRADA. When I was locked up in that place, I also decided to call the police to explain what was going on and to help me.
See that in the video I say "Here I am sitting, I have no alternatives", and that I said because I was ENCERRADA in the lobby, I couldn't open the doors, because they run electronically and the officials closed all the lobby doors and went in and monitored me by cameras, they filmed me with the office cameras to see what I could do in that situation.
Faced with what they did, I decided not to even approach one of the lobby or to ask them to come out, because I didn't know if anyone could use that to say things that were not and decontextualize my performances.
That's why I was seated, reassured waiting for the police to come and see the situation and certify that I had neither assaulted anyone nor done anything wrong in that place.
The officials of @CatholicCharAtl in a shameful action for the humanitarian world and for the Catholic Church were able to do that outrage on November 15th, threatening me, laughing at me, denying me the right to services (which were not really giving them to me completely or seriously since I arrived) and violating my rights.
Since I arrived at #USA I have not received neither cultural orientation nor labor nor anything, I was never orientated at NADA at @CatholicCharAtl, nor answers to my questions, they did not give me my documents that they took from the IOM bag (among them the I-94, that I needed it to go to do my process for my social security), they did not give me a copy of what I signed the first day Then in the weeks it was that I learned that they signed and put to my name the contract that I didn't want to sign and with which they, against my will, have forced me to assume economic commitments that I CAN'T ASUM I CAN'T MAKE ANYTHING WITH IT, because the lease was very costly, so much that since the first day I arrived I asked if I could go somewhere else, something that was only a cheaper,
.
Since then I have tried to help some organization, tell me what my rights are.
I have made countless calls to various organizations, offices of @USCCBEspanol @USCCB, Ongs, institutions, etc.
I have also personally gone to other resettlement agencies and organizations and offices of lawyers, and in no one has helped me to have a solution or to know where I can go to DENMARK THE ATROPELLO AND BUY COMMITTED by @CatholicCharAtl .
I've called the police on several occasions and they even came to my house supposedly to take the complaint, but then they said they couldn't do anything, to go to a court, something that obviously can't do anything. REASSED recently to the US and without even speaking the language and without money even to be moving.
I have also passed the case to @OIMColombia @OIMCentroAmer, who were the ones who organized the trip and provided us with information in Colombia about what we were going to find here, but they say they can't do anything, which remains in the hands of the agency that has violated my rights.
I spent a very difficult year in 2023 with political persecution on the part of the regime of Nicolás Maduro, and then pressing with UNHCR to assume their responsibility to help me get out to a safe territory (lamentably in UNHCR they have no care protocols with a differential focus for journalists and human rights defenders persecuted, that is why everything was entangled terribly), that is why I received refuge and resettlement in the United States. When I arrived, I swore that I would be able to have the time of peace and tranquility that I needed to be able to recharge energies and recompose myself, rebuild my life, make control of damage, then I could see what could be planned, but I couldn't do it, because the agency @CatholicCharAtl instead of helping the resettled refugees, what makes it difficult to do (for example, not send me
.
I have asked @USCCBEspanol @USCCB, please help me to help my rights and services with the Matching Grant be re-established so that I can have a normal resettlement process, which I HAVE NOT PODIDO TENER TO DO NOW because of @CatholicCharAtl.
It should be noted that on October 20th, when she met the caseworker with me for the first time, I was told a lot about the Matching Grant, because that was the program that was meant for me, so much so the girl confessed that she couldn't give me details of the other programs, because she didn't manage them, that those were other people, but that if I stayed with her, it would be the Matching Grant.
I asked him to give me information about the rest and he didn't know. Then they went out in the weeks to say that it wasn't the MG in the program he was in, but in another, that they had been wrong.
Well, before that, gentlemen of @USCCBEspanol @USCCB you have to make your people understand @CatholicCharAtl that a resettled refugee CAN'T PAY THE PERSONAL EQUIDMENTS that you have in that office, except if that resettled refugee comes from spending a year of extreme stress, persecution and threats against your life, and having absolutely lost a journalist.
I've appealed since November 15 to all the tracks I can, but they don't answer.
The ONgs and other resettlement agencies tell me that they can't help me because my case was handed over by the government to @CatholicCharAtl and they already received the resources to give me services and assistance, they didn't comply completely, so they didn't fulfill that they didn't even give me the money to support my basic needs and I got service receipts with court orders because they never paid.
Where did they go to stop those resources?
?
I don't know, they didn't give them to me, and I'm sorry. The thing is so serious that those in the complex threaten me to take me to the court and leave me in the street, because @CatholicCharAtl put me in a problem to them to put me in a department that knew that I couldn't pay and that I told them that I didn't want to be because it was very costly (sometimes I told the caseworker my anguish for this situation and for the low wages in the region, which I could not pay.
I have decided to take out the videos to understand that I am talking to the truth, that in these months I have endured this and more of @CatholicCharAtl.
I don't know what else is going to happen, what I do know is that I DON'T BE CARE MORE THIS SITUATION in which that resettlement agency has placed me, doing me a legal and emotional damage, have mistreated, humiliated, threatened and violated my rights.
I am very acquitted of these @CatholicCharAtl abuses and I need a @USCCBEspanol solution @USCCB for this problem caused by your people.
Let @USCCBEspanol @USCCB answer me an e-mail saying that my complaints are very serious and that they are going to investigate the facts is not a solution or solve my problem, what they continue to do is to leave me helpless and with my rights violated.
What I need and is right and right, as God commands, is that, as the Gaby staff member told me more than two weeks ago, they give me solutions that will allow me to have my resettlement process in a normal and correct way, with the services that should be given to me with the Matching Grant and with respect to my resented human and refugee status, poara evutar que me queatho en la calle Atlic y que me the incorrect actions of @Cl
.
Letting time pass to see if that is solved only is not the right aternative lords of @USCCBEspanol @USCCB , because while I do not have the tranquility that this is arranged as God commands, I will be distressed and stressed, I could not even begin to work, because I do not know if tomorrow I will remain on the street and then I will not be able to respond to that job.
Note: I'm going to get the rest of the videos out of that day, where you hear me being threatened with the police.
Note 2: For those who wonder why I was there at that time, for I came after noon, around 2:00 p.m. and from that moment I waited at the place.
They never intended to attend to me, they never wanted to answer the specific questions they asked them, they never wanted to give me my documents (not even the approval documentb of work permit, that they only sent me when I started making public on Twitter what was happening to me), there was never willingness to listen or explain (the times they attended me was to say anything above, no matter what security they said to me, but they just didn't.
No, at @CatholicCharAtl they don't care about the refugees, they care about putting your poara case down on the resources and then they don't do the right service they should and if a refugee asks them, please, info on time, they just treat them hostilely and they're mistreated to stop asking for anything...Terrible as they act with vulnerable people!
!
I'm sure those who are not vulnerable or mistakenly treat them like this, with those they manage with respect, but the resettled refugees, as we say popularly in Venezuela, treat them to the kicks, and if you complain about it, they threaten you with the police and leave you with no services to stay on the street, knowing they don't have anyone to go and not even speak the language... Who knows how many resettled refugees will have suffered at @CatholicCharAtl It gives deep sadness, but also indignant and deciphers that this happens in an organization of the church and that, moreover, those who receive public money to help the vulnerable.
