Important points about Cory Voorhis Legal Defense

• Cory Voorhis did nothing unlawful or wrong.
• Cory needs help to defend himself in court. Donations are needed at www.CoryLegalDefense.com.
• A federal grand jury needs to do a thorough investigation of all the unanswered questions in this case.
• Cory Voorhis is a 38-year-old Immigration and Customs (ICE) senior special agent who, for 15-years, has been an INS agent and an ICE agent. He is a dedicated family man with a wife and two young children. He was a US Border Patrolman, and he is a Gulf War veteran.
• Cory has a distinguished career at ICE, recently leading a five-year investigation that broke-up the largest document fraud ring ever to operate in the US. For that he received recognition from the Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security.
• During the 2006 Colorado gubernatorial campaign between then-U.S. Congressman Bob Beauprez and former Denver District Attorney Bill Ritter, it has been said that Cory brought into the public domain a reckless, dangerous public policy practiced by Bill Ritter, when the now-Governor of Colorado was the Denver District Attorney. That policy and practice allowed dangerous criminal aliens arrested for serious felony offenses to plead to a lesser charge of Trespass on Agriculture Land, a low-level felony for which an alien is not deportable.
• Cory rightly believed that the American people were entitled to know the truth of Ritter’s catch-and-release policy. With nothing to personally gain and everything to lose, Cory lawfully reported some of what he knew to Congressman Beauprez. During those informational contacts, Cory made no attempt to conceal his identity; he used no pseudonyms and at no time did he meet with members of Beauprez’s staff outside of accepted protocol.
• Cory's integrity in reporting to a sitting congressman what he knew has now lead—one year later—to three federal misdemeanor counts ("Intentionally exceeding his access to a federal NCIC computer") against him.
• Employees of two other state agencies used the NCIC to query the very same information that has lead to charges against Cory. Neither of them, a Denver DA employee and a Harris County (Texas) DA employee, has been investigated and/or charged for their legally questionable use of NCIC.
• The contrived, trumped-up charges against Cory have now lead to his being suspended indefinitely from his employment—without pay. He was required to turn-in his badge and sidearm. Cory did nothing wrong; he did what a sworn federal agent is expected to do: tell the truth. He faces enormous legal expenses—he has had to mortgage his house—to prove his innocence in federal court. Cory has not received any protection under the Whistle Blower Protection Act.
• The Cory Legal Defense committee is appealing for financial help for Cory Voorhis, and for a federal grand jury to investigate all of the glairing, unanswered questions surrounding this shameful case.
