I. When the Border Agency Asks for Your Partner’s Immigration File Mid-Complaint
This letter was addressed directly to William L. Mills, Director of the Department of Immigration, Turks and Caicos Islands — bypassing the front-line obfuscators and aimed precisely at executive accountability.
It is not a plea. It is a line in procedural concrete.
Filed in response to:
Gendered deflection
Invasive demands for your partner’s personal immigration file
The systemic refusal to investigate alleged racial profiling and procedural misconduct
The bureaucratic theatre of “we’re just asking”
They ignored your safeguarding report.
Then requested your husband’s deportation history.
II. What the Letter Establishes
Direct instruction to counsel — bypassing administrative delay
Loss of procedural trust — declared explicitly
Refusal to participate in informal contact
Reassertion of legal protocol — where none had been followed
It tells the Department:
You are not investigating. You are retaliating under institutional paper.
And we no longer recognise your email signatures as legitimate channels of resolution.
III. SWANK’s Position
We do not provide immigration documents to agencies accused of misconduct.
We do not assist in our own targeting.
We do not submit to border theatre disguised as policy engagement.
This letter was filed because:
The response to complaint was escalation
The request was retaliatory
The process was unsafe
The authority claimed — had no procedural basis
Let the record show:
We escalated to counsel.
You escalated to suspicion.
SWANK filed both.
