re: #39 Aunty Entity Dragon

We are claiming she has consulate immunity and not general immunity. India does not agree.

It doesn’t matter if they don’t agree, she has an actual status here in the US assigned to her by the US government, and that status is that she’s a consulate worker.

Please read my lengthy post. The issue of forced servitude, of peonage, of human trafficking, is a hugely important one and the US government should be celebrated whenever it does something to work against it. There is actually a general crackdown going on right now over this unhappily common practice by foreign diplomats in the US; some towns near DC have passed statues recently given them more opportunity to verify the conditions of employment and shut down this sort of trafficking and servitude.
