Update Justice For Salis

Petition Update: Justice for Salis Hanrahan thank you! Please keep fighting bigotry and lies with truth! Sharing the truth is working. Every signature and share is making a difference as we continue fighting for Salis. Important Legal Facts About Salis: Salis Hanrahan entered the United States but was killed before he could ever be prosecuted or tried for any immigration violation. Under American law, this means: The charges are subject to abatement ab initio (dismissed from the beginning). He remains protected by the fundamental principle: “Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat” — “The burden of proof is on the one who asserts, not on the one who denies.” As one supporter correctly noted: “It’s not a criminal offense to exist here. It’s a civil violation.” The U.S. Supreme Court precedent in Arizona v. United States (2012) reinforces that unlawful presence is primarily a civil matter, not a criminal conviction. Because Salis was never tried or convicted, he died presumed innocent under the law just like the Constitution demands. No court ever found him guilty of anything. We will not allow media narratives or smears to define Salis or our Traveler and Gypsy family. He was a young father, a hard working contractor, and a loved member of his family and community. Sign and share if you stand for truth, due process, and fairness. Each signature is powerful let’s keep pushing toward real justice.
