Kash Patel Announces the Prosecution of a "Director Level" CBP Employee Who Defrauded the Federal Government of FEMA Funds and Lied to Federal Agents
The best and the brightest.
FBI Director Kash PatelHere's the scam: She claimed that flooding damaged her basement, and then claimed further that FEMA should pay to fix the damages. I don't know if those claims are real. She then doubled down on fraud and claimed she could not live in her house while her basement was being fixed, so she asked for, and received, rental subsidies to pay her rent as she lived in a rented apartment. But she didn't rent another place. She stayed home and pocketed the money which was supposedly paying for her necessary second residence.
@FBIDirectorKash TODAY: Following efforts with our interagency partners, I can report that a career Director level employee at US Customs and Border Protection has been charged with allegedly attempting to defraud FEMA, as well as lying to federal agents. This is part of the new FBI’s renewed efforts to crack down on public corruption and deliver accountability for the American people. Justice will be done. Thanks to our partners @AGPamBondi @TheJusticeDept and our @FBIDetroit
team for their work.
According to the Washington Times, this dedicated Civil Servant (thank you for your service) is also being investigated for drug trafficking.
DIRECTOR AT CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION CHARGED WITH SCHEME TO FRAUDULENTY OBTAIN DISASTER AID AND LYING TO FEDERAL AGENTS Wednesday, March 12, 2025 For Immediate Release U.S. Attorney's Office, Eastern District of Michigan DETROIT -- A federal criminal complaint was unsealed today charging the Director of United States Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) Center for Excellence and Expertise over Automotive and Aerospace Engineering with engaging in a scheme to defraud the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and lying to federal agents, Acting United States Attorney Julie A. Beck announced. Beck was joined in the announcement by Cheyvoryea Gibson, Special Agent in Charge of the Detroit Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and Daniel Altman, Executive Director of CBP's Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR). Serina Baker-Hill, 55, of Detroit, is a career employee of CBP. Following a series of floods in the Detroit area in August of 2023, Michigan's request for a federal disaster declaration was approved, which allowed residents to apply for FEMA assistance. Baker-Hill applied for FEMA assistance for flood damage and a FEMA inspector determined there was damage to the basement in Baker-Hill's home. During the inspection, Baker-Hill informed the inspector she was not able to live safely in the home while the repairs were being made. Consequently, FEMA approved benefits for Baker Hill to assist with home repairs and for two months of rental assistance. The approval letter from FEMA indicated that the rental assistance money was to be used solely to help Baker-Hill pay rent and essential utility costs while she was in temporary housing. According to Baker-Hill's bank records, none of the FEMA money was used for rental, hotel, or utility expenses. Video surveillance at the home showed that Baker-Hill and her husband continued to live in the home after receiving the rental assistance funds from FEMA. Additionally, records for the home do not show a significant drop in utilities consistent with the property being unoccupied during this time. Baker-Hill was later interviewed by FBI and CBP-OPR agents and informed them that she has never committed illegal activity of any kind and had never defrauded the U.S. government.
Democrats will be holding sparsely-attended rallies for the criminal within days. She has a perfect defense against the charges: Muh Racism.
Senior DHS official investigated for drug trafficking, charged with disaster fraud By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Wednesday, March 12, 2025 A senior official at the Department of Homeland Security was being investigated for potential involvement in drug trafficking, according to new court files unsealed Tuesday. The revelation came in a case in which authorities charged the official, Serina Baker Hill, with bilking the government out of thousands of dollars in disaster relief money for a home she claimed was made unlivable because of flooding. Court documents show agents detected the disaster scam while listening to wiretap conversations between Ms. Hill and her husband, Maurice Hill, whom they suspected of drug trafficking. They were monitoring Ms. Hill's communications too because of her role as director of Customs and Border Protection's Center for Excellence and Expertise over Automotive and Aerospace Engineering. "During the course of the investigations, it was discovered that both HILL and Maurice had engaged in a scheme to defraud FEMA after flooding occurred in Detroit, Michigan on August 24, 2023," wrote FBI Special Agent Andrew J. Matas. When agents confronted Ms. Hill in a 2024 interview, she lied to them, Mr. Matas said.
... Ms. Hill is charged with lying, wire fraud, disaster fraud and making false statements to the government. That latter charge stems from her denying that she had never defrauded the government. In the court documents, Mr. Matas said the FBI has been probing Mr. Hill for drug trafficking and "other offenses." That's why they were monitoring his phone and electronic communications.

Seriously. How much did her lie-to-FEMA- about-where-she-lived scam actually net her? $20k?
And someone actually put her house under video surveillance over that? Seriously? With the staggering amount of fraud that happens every day in this country? That's what they chose to spend resources on?
But, whatever. She'll probably have to do some community service and repay the money, so I guess that's a win. Maybe she'll even get fired, and she'll have to rely on her husbands drug trafficking money to live.

Apart from DC and SD of NY, most jurisdictions draw a much more mixed jury. ED of Michigan not only encompassed Detroit but a number of suburbs, etc. and gimmedats are not necessarily the best at replying to jury summons especially if they have outstanding warrants anyway.

Because it, like many many government jobs, is a fake job.
In mafia parlance, they'd call it a "No Work" job. And for the last however many years, due to Covid, it was also very likely a "No Show" job.
As in she has been collecting a paycheck for decades, but never had a real job. Probably looked at powerpoint slides occasionally, and went to conferences and that kind of stuff.
Sounds kind of nice, really. Maybe I should get one of those fake jobs. And I promise not to call attention to myself by doing any penny ante FEMA basement flood scams!

Anyway, there are other aspects of court that are not 'evidence'. and that is what my friend (the lawyer) has to lie about, publicly. Which she then corrects, privately. Nothing to whistleblow. She's done it in DC courts for decades; it's all legit.
Just weird, that's all.
Regarding the "Lying to Congress" aspect, think about it. There are hardly more public arenas than US Congress testimonies. If one is charged with protecting a national security program, one HAS to have the authority to lie, in front of all those Congress-critters. After all THEY authorized it. And they all know exactly what is happening.
My beef is with the programs.

If you know of a lawyer who lies under Oath in court, you should report her to the DC bar.
And no, it's not perfectly legal to lie under oath. Or to lie to your bosses. I don't know why anyone would think that is legal, but it is not.
There are processes in place to avoid discussing things publicly that are classified. It happens all the time.
When James Clapper got caught lying to Congress about NSA surveillance, his defense was not "it's perfectly legal" it was "I didn’t lie, I made a big mistake, and I just simply didn’t understand what I was being asked about. I thought of another surveillance program, Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, when I was being asked about Section 215 of the Patriot Act at the time, I just didn’t understand that." And he still should have been fired and convicted of perjury, but he's James Clapper.

Defrauding FEMA is a Federal charge. The Feds could decide to pull from wider Wayne County. Probably will.
The drug thing, I dunno, but anywhere in Detroit the prosecution could find citizens fed up with fifty-somethings playing at being gangsta. Does Detroit have a Soros DA? I don't hear of it.

It does, although he's proven that he can make movies that are not politically noxious. in the past. I can't think of a great movie of his in this century, though. Maybe Bucket List? I never saw it. The dude has always been Meathead but he was able to make movies that didn't stink of his politics.

Again, not defending this woman.

That would justify a press release.
But if this is an old case, even if no one went through with prosecuting it, it's even more disappointing. They haven't even done anything new.
Now, again, perhaps there's more to it, but even then, they could hold off on the press release until they had something a little more impactful.

My Armagheddon supply acquired when supply lines were strained are all nearing or past Best Before.
It's just me now, so that's fine.
If the SHTF, I'm fine for awhile. As it is, I'm slowly going through everything and saving a ton on food.

Ensuring the Enforcement of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(c)
The United States will now demand that parties seeking injunctions against the Federal Government must post security in an amount that the court considers proper to cover potential costs and damages incurred if the Government is ultimately found to have been wrongfully enjoined or restrained.
Posted by: Kindltot at March 12, 2025 06:32 PM (D7oie)
This is common in civil litigation - the party seeking the TRO/injunction has to bond it in case they loss. a Is it not the case in suits involving the government?

' Newhart and Rickles were best friends...two great comedic minds.'
I remember Rickles talking about them and their wives vacationing in Israel together on the Tonight Show.
He said Newhart stood out among Israelis 'like a Nazi fighter pilot'.
