Federal Civil Rights Lawsuit

In CFJ's over five years of experience, many of our members have taken all the possible steps to find remedy and/or justice in the State of New Mexico judicial system, including the District Courts, the Court of Appeals, and the Supreme Court. Our web site exposes some of the many crooked associations and links among the three levels of the courts. It is not surprising that so many parents have ended up simply generating a record of massive ignorance of and refusal to follow the U.S. Bill of Rights on the part of the NM judiciary, including due process, equal access, and other basic rights. Some of the examples are extreme, and only a small portion of them are formally presented on our web site. Many other parents, not members of CFJ, have also fathomed their remedies in the New Mexico court system, and are left wounded and discouraged by the battle.

Therefore, we now present to you, in order to share resources and make it easier for those who follow, what has been learned about filing civil rights actions in federal court as a remedy to the total lack of respect for U.S. citizens' rights, including the right to parent, here in New Mexico. Our hope is that with such a concerted effort in bringing to light through formal legal cases the sins of the State court and its offices, parents may get relief from the massive oppression they have undergone.
