Your Petitioner is imprisoned unlawfully at the United States Penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas within the sovereign jurisdiction of the State of Kansas.
Specifically, jurisdiction in the United States and/or its alter ego the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, depended initially upon a lawful outstanding warrant for the arrest of Gordon Wendell Kahl, which is evident on the face of the indictment and admitted by the attorneys representing the underlying Plaintiff, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
This indifference to the Constitution and laws of the United States, as well as the Constitution and laws of the States where federal action has occurred in all matters involving Gordon Kahl, his family and friends, is prima facie evidence of an inability to seek and obtain constitutionally mandated review and relief in federal courts.

 Leonard Peltier Update: ACTION ITEM
As you know, Leonard Peltier is a federal prisoner serving two consecutive life sentences at the United States Penitentiary, Leavenworth, Kansas, in connection with the 1975 deaths of two agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.
Peltier's continued incarceration and the failure of the United States to release him on parole is based on animus.
On appeal, Leonard's legal team argued that the Commission erred because its stated reason: (1) is not supported by Leonard's convictions or the Eighth Circuit decisions addressing post-conviction petitions; (2) is not supported by the evidence before the Commission; and (3) is undermined by the material exculpatory evidence the government improperly withheld at Leonard's trial.
