This invention relates in general to drilling a wellbore and, in particular, to drilling an intersecting wellbore through a drill string including well casing or liner and a downhole drilling apparatus interconnected therein.
Without limiting the scope of the invention, its background is described in connection with drilling a wellbore for hydrocarbon production, as an example.
Heretofore, in this field, a typical drilling operation has involved attaching a drill bit on the lower end of a drill string and rotating the drill bit along with the drill string to create a wellbore through which subsurface formation fluids may be produced. As the drill bit penetrates the various earth strata to form the wellbore, additional joints of drill pipe are coupled to the drill string. During drilling, drilling fluid is circulated through the drill string and the drill bit to force cuttings out of the wellbore to the surface, and to cool the drill bit.
Periodically as the drilling of the wellbore progresses, the drill bit and drill string are removed from the wellbore and tubular steel casing is inserted into the wellbore to prevent the wall of the wellbore from caving in during subsequent drilling. Typically, after casing is inserted into the wellbore, the annulus between the casing and wellbore is filled with a cement slurry that hardens to support the casing in the wellbore. Thereafter, deeper sections of wellbore with progressively smaller diameters than the previously installed casing may be drilled.
Once a predetermined depth is reached for each subsequent section of wellbore, the drill bit and drill string are again removed from the wellbore and that section of the wellbore may be cased. Alternatively, however, a liner may be used to case an open section of wellbore instead of a full casing string. The liner, which is a string of connected lengths of tubular steel pipe joints, is lowered through the casing and into the open wellbore. At its upper end, the liner is attached to a setting tool and liner hanger. The liner hanger attaches the liner to the previous casing such that the casing will support the weight of the liner.
The length of the liner is predetermined such that its lower end will be proximate the bottom of the open wellbore, with its upper end, including the liner hanger, overlapping the lower end of the casing above. As with the casing, after the liner is inserted into the wellbore, the annulus between the liner and the wellbore may be filled with a cement slurry that hardens to support the liner in the wellbore.
It has been found, however, that in many well drilling operations it is desirable to minimize rig time by utilizing the casing or liner string as the drill string for rotating a drill bit, which may be left in the wellbore upon the completion of drilling a section of the wellbore. As such, this procedure does not require the use of a separate liner or casing upon the withdrawal of the drill bit and drill string as in conventional drilling operations, and thereby reduces the time needed to drill, case and cement a section of wellbore.
For example, attempts have been made to utilize the casing or liner string as the drill string along with a drill bit that is rotatable relative to the casing or liner string. The drill bit is rotated by a downhole drill motor that is driven by drilling fluid. Upon completion of drilling operations, the motor and the retrievable portions of the drill bit may be removed from the wellbore so that further wellbore operations, such as cementing, may be carried out and further wellbore extending or drilling operations may be conducted. This system, however, requires the use of expensive and sometimes unreliable downhole drill motors and a specially designed drill bit.
Alternatively, other attempts have been made to utilize the casing or liner string as the drill string using conventional rotary techniques wherein the drill bit is rotated by rotating the entire casing or liner string. This approach, however, requires the use of a drill bit with minimal cutting structure, since a drill out could not be performed through a typical drill bit having a full cutting structure, such as a tricone bit.
Therefore, a need has arisen for a drill string which may be used as a well casing or liner, which includes a drill bit on its lower end, and which, upon completion of drilling operations, may be retained within the wellbore without the need to retrieve the drill bit or the drill string. A need has also arisen for such a well casing or liner string that may be left in the wellbore along with a drill bit, and which does not require the use of expensive, unreliable or specialty equipment. Further, a need has arisen for such a well casing or liner string which may be cemented in place along with a drill bit having a full cutting structure.
The present invention, as exemplified by an embodiment disclosed herein, comprises a downhole drilling apparatus that is interconnectable in a casing or liner drill string and includes a drill bit connected thereto which, upon completion of drilling operations, may be retained within the wellbore without the need to retrieve the drill bit or the drill string. The apparatus allows the well casing or liner to be left in the wellbore along with the drill bit and does not require the use of expensive, unreliable or specialty equipment. The apparatus also allows for the well casing or liner to be cemented in place along with a drill bit having a full cutting structure.
The downhole drilling apparatus includes a housing that is interconnectable in a casing string. The housing has a window cut therein to allow a subsequent drill bit and pipe string to pass therethrough during a drill out operation. To facilitate the deflection of the drill bit and pipe string through the window, a whipstock is disposed within the housing. A filler material is also disposed within the housing between the whipstock and the window to prevent the flow of drilling fluids or cement through the window prior to the drill out. The filler and the whipstock have a central bore that permits the passage of fluids through the center of the downhole drilling apparatus. One or more valves may be disposed within the central bore to control the flow of fluids therethrough. The valves may be, for example, back pressure or float valves that allow one-way flow of fluids downwardly through the apparatus.
A drill bit having a full cutting structure, such as a tricone bit, may be operably coupled to the downhole drilling apparatus. The casing or liner string may be used to rotate the drill bit. Alternatively, a downhole motor may be coupled between the downhole drilling apparatus and the drill bit to facilitate rotation of the drill bit, without the need for rotating the casing string.
In another embodiment, a downhole drilling apparatus includes a housing having a window, an alignment member disposed within the housing and a back pressure valve assembly. The back pressure valve assembly includes a central bore that permits the passage of fluids therethrough. Once downhole, a whipstock may be run into the apparatus such that the whipstock operably engages the alignment member. The alignment member orients the whipstock within the housing relative to the window, so that the drill bit may subsequently be deflected through the window.
In operation, either embodiment of the downhole drilling apparatus may be interconnected in a casing or liner string having a drill bit disposed on its lower end. A first wellbore is drilled. Following the drilling of the first wellbore, the casing or liner string may be cemented within the wellbore. A pipe string having another drill bit on its lower end is passed through the casing or liner string, such that a drill out through the downhole drilling apparatus is performed to drill a second wellbore. The pipe string and drill bit that are used to create the second wellbore are deflected through the window in the housing of the downhole drilling apparatus by the whipstock disposed within the apparatus.
Thus, with the use of the downhole drilling apparatus, a casing or liner string including a drill bit having a full cutting structure may be used as a drill string to create a wellbore. The drill string may be cemented in place within the wellbore, and thereafter have a drill out performed therethrough to create an intersecting wellbore.
These and other features, advantages, benefits and objects of the present invention will become apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art upon careful consideration of the detailed description of representative embodiments of the invention hereinbelow and the accompanying drawings.
For a more complete understanding of the present invention, including its features and advantages, reference is now made to the detailed description of the invention, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of an offshore oil and gas platform during a drilling operating wherein a downhole drilling apparatus embodying principles of the present invention is utilized;
FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of a first downhole drilling apparatus embodying principles of the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view of the downhole drilling apparatus of FIG. 2, taken along line 3—3;

While the making and using of various embodiments of the present invention are discussed in detail below, it should be appreciated that the present invention provides many applicable inventive concepts which can be embodied in a wide variety of specific contexts. The specific embodiments discussed herein are merely illustrative of specific ways to make and use the invention, and do not limit the scope of the invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, an offshore oil and gas platform is schematically illustrated and generally designated 10. A semi-submersible platform 12 is centered over a subterranean oil and gas formation 14 located below sea floor 16. A well 18 extends through the sea 20, penetrating sea floor 16 to form wellbore 22, which traverses various earth strata. A wellbore extension is formed by wellbore 24, which extends from wellbore 22 through additional earth strata, including formation 14.
Platform 12 has a hoisting apparatus 26 and a derrick 28 for raising and lowering pipe strings, such as drill string 30, including drill bit 32 located in wellbore 24, and casing string 34, including drill bit 36, crossover subassembly 38 and downhole drilling apparatus 40 located in wellbore 22. As used herein, the term "casing string" is used to refer to a tubular string which includes sections of casing or liner.
As in a typical drilling operation, wellbore 22 is formed by rotating drill bit 36 while adding additional sections of pipe to casing string 34. When drill bit 36 reaches total depth, however, casing string 34 and drill bit 36 are not retrieved from wellbore 22. Rather, casing string 34 and drill bit 36 are cemented in place by cement 42 which fills the annular area between casing string 34 and wellbore 22.
Cementing casing string 34 and drill bit 36 in place within wellbore 22 is a cost effective alternative to conventional drilling, in that significant rig time is saved by minimizing the number of trips into and out of wellbore 22. At least one trip out of wellbore 22 and one trip into wellbore 22 are saved by using downhole drilling apparatus 40. Additionally, the use of downhole drilling apparatus 40 avoids the possibility of collapse of wellbore 22, particularly in unconsolidated or weakly consolidated formations.
Alternatively, downhole drilling apparatus 40 may be used in conjunction with conventional drilling operations once a conventional drill string and bit have been tripped out of wellbore 22. For example, if wellbore 22 has traversed an unconsolidated or weakly consolidated formation and it is likely that a collapse has occurred within wellbore 22, it may be necessary to reopen that portion of wellbore 22. In this case, wellbore 22 may be reopened using casing string 34 with downhole drilling apparatus 40 and drill bit 36.
Once cementing of wellbore 22 has been completed, wellbore 24 may be drilled. Drill bit 32 creates wellbore 24 by traveling through window 44 of downhole drilling apparatus 40, as will be more fully discussed with reference to FIGS. 2-4 below. As drill bit 32 and drill string 30 continue to form wellbore 24, formation 14 is traversed. Note that the drill string 30 may include another apparatus 40, if desired.
Even though FIG. 1 depicts wellbore 22 as a vertical wellbore, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that wellbore 22 may be vertical, substantially vertical, inclined or even horizontal. It should also be understood by those skilled in the art that wellbore 22 may include multilateral completions wherein wellbore 22 may be the primary wellbore having one or more branch wellbore extending laterally therefrom, or wellbore 22 may be a branch wellbore. Additionally, while FIG. 1 depicts an offshore environment, it should be understood by one skilled in the art that the use of downhole drilling apparatus 40 is equally well suited for operation in an onshore environment.
Schematically illustrated in FIG. 2 is a downhole drilling apparatus 50 embodying principles of the present invention. Apparatus 50 has a pin end 52, so that the apparatus 50 is interconnectable in a drill string, such as casing string 34 of FIG. 1. Downhole drilling apparatus 50 also has a box end 54 that may be threadedly connected to crossover subassembly 38 as depicted in FIG. 1.
Apparatus 50 has a generally tubular housing 56 with a window 58 cut through a sidewall thereof. Window 58 is generally elliptically shaped and is sized such that a drill bit, such as drill bit 32 of FIG. 1, may pass therethrough during a drill out operation.
Now referring to FIG. 3, a cross sectional view of downhole drilling apparatus 50 taken along line 3—3 of FIG. 2 is depicted. Disposed within housing 56 of apparatus 50 is a whipstock 60. A central bore 62 extends through whipstock 60 to provide fluid passage for drilling mud and cement through apparatus 50 during drilling and cementing operations. Valves 64, 66 are disposed within central bore 62 of the downhole drilling apparatus 50. Valves 64, 66 may be back pressure or float valves that allow one-way flow of drilling mud or cement through the apparatus 50. As an example, valves 64, 66 may be SuperSeal II back pressure valves, available from Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. of Duncan, Okla.
Whipstock 60 has an inclined upper surface, so that it directs a drill bit, such as drill bit 32 of FIG. 1, through window 58 of downhole drilling apparatus 50. Whipstock 60 may be constructed of any material, such as steel, having sufficient strength to deflect a drill bit through window 58. Whipstock 60 may also provide additional torsional strength to the downhole drilling apparatus 50.
A filler 68 occupies the volume between whipstock 60 and window 58 of downhole drilling apparatus 50. Filler 68 prevents the flow of drilling mud or cement through window 58 of apparatus 50. Filler 68 may be, for example, concrete that has been poured into downhole drilling apparatus 50. Window 58 may also be filled with filler 68 to provide protection to window 58. Other suitable solid materials, such as resins, may be used for filler 68, so long as they set sufficiently and permit the directional passage of a drill bit through window 58 of apparatus 50.
In operation, when a drill bit, such as drill bit 32 of FIG. 1, encounters whipstock 60, the drill bit cuts through filler 68 and is deflected laterally by whipstock 60 toward window 58 in housing 56. Window 58 is wider that the outer diameter of the drill bit, permitting the drill bit to laterally exit the apparatus 50.
Referring now to FIG. 4, a cross sectional view of downhole drilling apparatus 50 is depicted that is taken along line 4—4 of FIG. 2. Apparatus 50 includes housing 56, whipstock 60, filler 68 and window 58. As with typical drill down shoes, downhole drilling apparatus 50 may have sufficient torsional strength to rotate a drill bit, such as drill bit 36 of FIG. 1. The wall thickness of housing 56 and the size of window 58 will affect the torsional strength of downhole drilling apparatus 50. Of course, the window 58 should be dimensioned to permit a drill bit to pass therethrough.
The shape of whipstock 60 can be varied to maximize its deflecting capability. For example, whipstock 60 may be made concave or convex to direct a drill bit, such as drill bit 32, through window 58 of downhole drilling apparatus 50. If whipstock 60 is made concave, drill bit 32 will encounter window 58 at a position slightly below that where a straight whipstock 60 would direct the bit. Conversely, a convex whipstock 60 will force the encounter of drill bit 32 with window 58 at a position above that of the flat-surfaced whipstock 60.
Referring now to FIG. 5, an offshore oil and gas platform is schematically illustrated and generally designated 70. A semi-submersible platform 72 is centered over a subterranean oil and gas formation 74 located below sea floor 76. A well 78 extends through the sea 80, penetrating sea floor 76 to form wellbore 82, which traverses various earth strata. Wellbore 82 has a wellbore extension that is formed by wellbore 84, which extends from wellbore 82 through additional earth strata, including formation 74.
Platform 72 has a hoisting apparatus 86 and a derrick 88 for raising and lowering pipe strings, such as drill string 90, including drill bit 92 located in wellbore 84, and casing string 94, including drill bit 96, downhole motor 98, crossover subassembly 100 and downhole drilling apparatus 102 located in wellbore 82. Using downhole motor 98, it is not necessary to rotate casing string 94, including downhole drilling apparatus 102, in order to rotate drill bit 96.
Drilling mud, used to cool drill bit 96 and carry cuttings to the surface, also provides the power to operate downhole motor 98. As the drilling mud travels through downhole motor 98, downhole motor 98 imparts rotation to drill bit 96, so that wellbore 82 is drilled. Using downhole motor 98 in conjunction with downhole drilling apparatus 102 reduces the torsional stress typically encountered by downhole drilling apparatus 102 when casing string 94 is used to rotate drill bit 96. This reduction in torsional stress allows for the use of a maximum width window 106 in downhole drilling apparatus 102.
When drill bit 96 reaches total depth, casing string 94, including drill bit 96, downhole motor 98, crossover subassembly 100 and downhole drilling apparatus 102, is not retrieved from wellbore 82. Rather, casing string 94 is cemented in place by cement 104, which fills the annular area between casing string 94 and wellbore 82.
Once cementing of wellbore 82 has been completed, wellbore 84 may be drilled using downhole drilling apparatus 102. Drill bit 92 creates wellbore 84 by traveling through window 106 of downhole drilling apparatus 102 in the manner discussed above with reference to FIGS. 2-4.
Referring next to FIG. 6, a cross sectional view of another downhole drilling apparatus 120 embodying principles of the present invention is depicted. Downhole drilling apparatus 120 has a pin end 122, so that downhole drilling apparatus 12 is interconnectable in a drill string, such as casing string 94 of FIG. 5, or to other downhole tools. Downhole drilling apparatus 120 also has a box end 123 which may be threadedly connected to crossover subassembly 100 as depicted in FIG. 5.
Apparatus 120 has a generally tubular housing 124 with a window 126 cut through a sidewall thereof. Window 126 is generally elliptically shaped and is sized such that a drill bit, such as drill bit 92 of FIG. 5, may pass therethrough during a drill out operation. Surrounding window 126 is a cover or shield 128 that prevents the flow of drilling mud or cement through window 126. Apparatus 120 also has at least one alignment member 130, such as a track, within housing 124.
Disposed within housing 124 is a back pressure valve assembly 132. A central bore 134 extends through back pressure valve assembly 132 to provide fluid passage for drilling mud and cement used during drilling and cementing operations. Valves 136, 138 are disposed within central bore 134 of back pressure valve assembly 132. Valves 136, 138 may be back pressure valves or float valves that allow one-way flow of drilling mud or cement therethrough.
As best seen in FIG. 7, a whipstock 140 may be run into downhole drilling apparatus 120 to direct a drill bit, such as drill bit 92 of FIG. 5, through window 126 of apparatus 120. Whipstock 140 may be installed within downhole drilling apparatus 120 following a cementing operation and subsequent use of a conventional cementing plug 142. Whipstock 140 includes one or more alignment lugs 144 that cooperate with track 130 of downhole drilling apparatus 120 to radially orient whipstock 140 with respect to window 126.
After cementing the casing string 94 within wellbore 82, including installing the plug 142 in the drilling apparatus 120, the whipstock 140 is conveyed into the drilling apparatus. The alignment track 130 and lugs 144 cooperatively engage and thereby radially orient the whipstock 140 to face toward the window 126. A drill bit may then be deflected off of the whipstock 140 to cut through the shield 128, or the shield may be previously displaced to open the window 126, for example, by using a conventional shifting tool.
In the embodiments described above, the present invention provides the ability to drill a wellbore using a well casing or liner string as the drill string, and using a drill bit having a full cutting structure. The use of a downhole drilling apparatus embodying principles of the present invention as part of the drill string allows a well extension to be drilled from the existing wellbore, without having to bore through a drill bit on the end of the casing or liner string. Thus, trips into and out of the wellbore may be eliminated and a drill bit having a full cutting structure may be used.
While this invention has been described with reference to illustrative embodiments, this description is not intended to be construed in a limiting sense. Various modifications and combinations of the illustrative embodiments, as well as other embodiments of the invention, will be apparent to persons skilled in the art upon reference to the description. It is, therefore, intended that the appended claims encompass any such modifications or embodiments.

Many artists and professional musicians continue to prefer these historic Steinways – even over newly built pianos.
Steinway & Sons Model D Concert Grand Piano #270927 was completed in 1930. Planned and built at the New York Steinway Factory, this instrument ruled concert stages for decades. After experiencing a grand piano of this caliber, it is obvious why over 90% of professional concert artists choose to perform on Steinway Grand Pianos. Steinway Model D Grands are a familiar site at the top performance venues around the world. This vintage piano came to us in need of a full restoration. Chupp's Piano Service completely rebuilt this fine concert level instrument to return it to its rightful status and a like new condition.
One of the unique features of this 9′ Concert Grand is its specially crafted soundboard made out of fine Western Red Cedar. This gives the piano a unique, deep bass and the tonal power required to fill even the largest concert halls. Replacing the normal spruce soundboard with this specially chosen material results in a piano with an incredibly crisp and beautiful one of a kind sound. The piano underwent a very extensive rebuilding process which included the new custom soundboard, new custom fitted pinblock, new music wire, custom made bass strings, new highest quality key sticks, new German Renner and Steinway action parts, extensive cosmetic refinishing and much more. Concert action and tone regulation were performed to ensure the most responsive touch and quality of tone possible. Fully rebuilt and refinished, this historic Steinway piano took its spot next to several other restored Model D Grands in our shop, awaiting its next assignment.
In early 2016, Dr. John Mortensen of Cedarville University got in contact with us. As a Professor of Music at the Ohio-based University, Dr. Mortensen oversees a fleet of over 60 pianos. He was searching for fine Steinway pianos for the school's practice rooms and a new concert level Model D worthy of the campus' high-level performance hall. John visited with us multiple times at our Rebuilding Facility and Showroom to evaluate the quality of our piano rebuilding work. Only the finest pianos would be suitable and only the finest craftsmanship accepted. We worked with him to ensure the University received pianos that fit the institution's specific needs.
In the end, he selected a rare fully rebuilt Steinway Model C and a fully rebuilt Steinway Model L for office/practice room use. Choosing the all important concert grand was a difficult decision. After evaluating each Steinway Concert Grand and narrowing his search, he selected Steinway & Sons Model D #270927 for Cedarville's Dixon Ministry Center Recital Hall. He also purchased a fully rebuilt Steinway Model A-3 Grand Piano for his personal home use. Chupp's Piano Service is very pleased to be able to provide the students and faculty at Cedarville University with the fine pianos necessary to inspire further musical growth and inspiration. These restored Steinway pianos are sure to serve the school well for decades to come.
Today, Steinway Model D Grand Piano #270927 continues to grace the University's Recital Hall stage.
A nearly century-old instrument giving life to music – young and old.
"The Steinway is the finest piano in the world, deserving not only elite artists to play it but also elite technicians to care for it. Dennis Chupp is just such a craftsman. A Master Technician trained at the Steinway Factory in New York, he received personal coaching from former Steinway head Service Technician Fred Drasche and has collaborated with the nation's leaders in the field of piano technology. His company, Chupp's Piano Service, specializes in re-manufacturing and repair of vintage pianos, bringing glorious new life to instruments which had fallen silent through the ravages of age, damage and neglect.
He obsesses over each step of this labor-intensive, old-world process of transformation, patiently perfecting every last detail of the soundboard, pinblock, action, strings and of course, stunning woodwork and finish. The result is a re-born piano of warmth, resonance, and power. A Steinway rebuilt by Chupp's Piano Service is worthy of the world's greatest artists and most prestigious stages.
But above all, it is worthy of the name Steinway."

Should You Hire a New Employee That Has Been Out of Work for an Extended Period of Time?
When the recession hit the U.S. economy in 2007, many skilled and competent workers found themselves out of a job. It wasn't something anyone had imagined, but it happened. At that time, people who never had trouble finding a job before found themselves struggling, accepting lower paying jobs, or collecting unemployment. But what happened when the job market picked back up? Did employers jump at the chance to hire people who had been out of work or did they consider that a negative on their record? Now that the economy has improved, how do you approach a candidate who has been out of work for a while? Should you make that hiring decision?
Are they really hidden gems?
It is possible that there is something about these candidates that other employers are simply missing? Yes, it certainly is. Dig deeper into their background rather than making a snap judgement based on their most recent employment history. You may find a perfect diamond in the rough, or simply someone who needs a little more polishing to shake off the dust and make them shine.
Do they want a big career change?
A big career change doesn't have to be a promotion or climbing up the corporate ladder. There are many people willing to take a step back. This could be because of a work/life balance shift or a change of scenery. Ask them about their motivations. It is possible that other organizations have written them off as being overqualified without learning more.
Are their skills too rusty?
If they've been out of work for a while, it is perfectly fine to consider the quality of their skills. Are they rusty or behind the times? Have they spend any time at all learning new concepts or processes? Or are they stuck at the place they were when they left their last job?
Will they be more flexible?
When someone has been on the market for a while, they may be willing to be more flexible than their professional counterparts. Talk to them about this. Find out if they are open to alternative solutions and willing to take on jobs that they may have otherwise not considered.
Will they be dissatisfied with the new job?
Of course, there is also the possibility that they will not be flexible, skilled, or interested in working with your company. If you assess this you may find that they are not a good fit with your organization and it is time to move on to look at other candidates.
Are you looking to hire the best candidates for your open positions? ProSource Staffing can help you find the perfect hidden gem today!

According to the Life of St. Columba by Adomnán, St. Columba, patron saint of bookbinders, floods, and poets (among others), was traveling with companions when they came across a few locals burying a man. The man had been swimming in the water and attacked by a "water beast" which mauled the man and dragged him underwater. A rescue attempt by boat was made but it was already too late.
St. Columba sent a follower to swim in the River Ness (a distinction between this and the famed Loch Ness Monster, as this encounter happened in the river rather than the loch) to try to draw the animal out. When it presented itself, St. Columba made the sign of the cross and commanded: "Go no further. Do not touch the man. Go back at once." The animal reportedly ceased as though it had been "pulled back with ropes" and retreated.
Cryptozoologists are divided as to whether this creature and the beloved Nessie are in any way related.
The image shown is of another encounter with the fabled beast, and believed to be the oldest in existence. The accompanying story involves a cleric named Walter of Bingham (died circa 1197). He asked a group of fishermen to ferry him across the river which they declined with a terrified look. Further down the river Walter found a boy with a coracle (a small lightweight boat) and offered a silver coin to transport him across the river. The boy was hesitant at first but agreed. The pair made the journey across the river safely but as the boy made his return a monster with fiery eyes attacked from the water, dragging the coracle and boy beneath the waves. The original drawing has faded substantially over the centuries but has been artistically restored after comprehensive research of pigments used in comparable paintings from the same era and location.

Women in Sanctuary File Lawsuit Against ICE to Challenge Retaliatory and Excessive Civil Fines
Center for Constitutional Rights, Jan. 19, 2021 - Joined by Immigrant Rights Groups, Women in Sanctuary Seek to Hold Federal Immigration Officials Accountable Under Religious Freedom Restoration Act, First and Eighth Amendments for Targeting Leaders of Sanctuary Movement
"Four women living in sanctuary, along with Austin Sanctuary Network (ASN) and Free Migration Project (FMP), filed a lawsuit on Tuesday suing U.S. immigration agencies and officials for targeting sanctuary leaders with retaliatory and excessive civil fines.
Each of the plaintiffs is a leader in the modern sanctuary movement. The sanctuary movement originally began in the 1980s as resistance to government oppression. Today, houses of worship across the country are continuing that tradition and have come together in support of immigrant rights, including by offering sanctuary as an act of solidarity to people who would otherwise be deported.
"As people of faith called to love our neighbors, we've embraced immigrants who were fleeing violence, much of it caused by failed U.S. military and economic systems," Austin Sanctuary Network chair Peggy Morton said. "Consequently, we've witnessed abject cruelty from U.S. government officials surveilling houses of worship, retaliating against our friends with huge fines and growing unnecessary trauma among loving and courageous human beings who are not a threat to U.S. security."
The women are bringing claims against ICE and various officials under the First and Eighth Amendments and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The leaders allege that the government's discriminatory and retaliatory issuance of these exorbitant civil fines infringes upon their rights of free speech, association, and religion, as well as their right to be free from excessive fines. They also allege that the government has violated the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The decision to take sanctuary is an act of faith. Each of the individual plaintiffs have spoken out about their decision to take sanctuary as an exercise of their religious faith and work closely with the churches that have offered them sanctuary to expose the injustices of federal immigration policies.
In the summer of 2019, ICE targeted high-profile activists in sanctuary—all of whom fled persecution in their countries of origin—with notices stating its intent to seek up to $500,000 in fines from each of them. These notices were abruptly withdrawn, only to be re-issued several months later in 2020 against several individuals. Today, each woman faces the possibility of fines of approximately $60,000.
Records recently obtained through Freedom of Information Act litigation have confirmed that these fines are part of a years-long effort by high-level Trump Administration officials and ICE to target sanctuary leaders. The suit argues that these records prove, along with other evidence, that ICE issued these excessive fines to sanctuary movement leaders to stop them from speaking out and participating in the sanctuary movement.
"Fining us for telling the truth is an unfair way to shut us up. I decided to take sanctuary to protect the lives of my daughters, and arriving at my church without knowing anyone was God's purpose so that I could continue fighting for justice in my case," said Vicky Chavez, a plaintiff in the new lawsuit and a targeted sanctuary movement leader residing in Salt Lake City, Utah .
Hilda Ramirez, another plaintiff and sanctuary movement leader residing in Austin, Texas, noted that ICE's fines were particularly shocking in light of the fact that this very agency is preventing the leaders from working to support themselves financially: "ICE knows that I am living in a church, that I don't have my own income or a way to make my own money. I am forced to rely on the church to meet my family's basic needs, since I don't have permission to work. I am also being followed by ICE and they know that I would never have an amount of money that HUGE. I am scared and anxious, and I feel like I am being extorted."
ICE's targeting has negatively impacted the leaders' emotional, mental, and physical health, as well as that of their families. Edith Espinal, plaintiff and movement leader in sanctuary in Columbus, Ohio, recalls, "When I first learned that the Trump administration was trying to levy a fine against me, I immediately felt a chill down my spine and tears began flowing down my cheek. I was scared and angry because I saw it as an attempt by the government to punish me for trying to protect my family. I have lived constantly worried and in fear of what else the government may do against me or my children. But I have sought refuge in my faith and the love and support of my community."
Free Migration Project and Austin Sanctuary Network, two organizations working in conjunction with sanctuary movement leaders to support the fight for immigrant rights, have had to divert significant resources from other projects to respond to ICE's actions.
David Bennion, Executive Director of the Free Migration Project says,"It has been our honor to support sanctuary leaders as they continue to stand up for their families and communities despite ICE's egregious attempts to silence them. We believe that the practice of sanctuary is a sacred defense of basic human rights and an affirmation of the inherent worth of all people regardless of where they were born."
Among other forms of relief, the plaintiffs are suing for a permanent injunction restraining ICE from selectively enforcing its civil fines policy, damages, and a formal apology for the harm that ICE's targeting has caused.
"I am asking that ICE publicly recognize and correct their mistakes," said María Chavalán Sut, plaintiff and movement leader in sanctuary in Charlottesville, Virginia. "It's important to remember that this retaliation is falling disproportionately on women, many of whom are indigenous, who have already survived unimaginable violence and persecution. These are sacred lands, and when European colonizers came here 500 years ago, these lands had no borders or exclusion of human beings. ICE should not only rescind the fines but also pay us reparations."
Rafaela Uribe, Bertha Justice Fellow at the Center for Constitutional Rights, said, "The sanctuary leaders and families at the helm of this case have lived in uncertainty and fear for too long. These women have been unlawfully targeted by the Trump administration for organizing together to demand change in our broken immigration system. We hope this case brings them relief and brings attention to the changes needed to our unjust immigration policies that use xenophobic rhetoric to punish immigrant communities."
"ICE's civil fines were designed to stop sanctuary leaders from speaking out and are transparently punitive," said Elena Hodges of the NYU Law Immigrant Rights Clinic. "Their targeting of sanctuary leaders is just the most recent chapter of U.S. immigration agencies' long history of retaliation against the sanctuary movement," added Katie Matejcak, alsoof the NYU Law Immigrant Rights Clinic.
"Despite ICE's efforts to silence the sanctuary leaders, the leaders have continued to make their voices heard. The sanctuary leaders' efforts have helped inspire many faith communities and others to become part of the movement for immigrant rights. ICE cannot stop the sanctuary movement, and the sanctuary leaders are taking this action as another step toward accountability and justice," said Dinesh McCoy, a legal fellow at Just Futures Law.

The Amazon Survivors
by Online Editor · Published June , 2014 · Updated September , 2014
Justin Rowlatt
Logging in the Brazilian Amazon has had a devastating effect on the rainforest and its indigenous people. However, a new operation by thearmy, air force and military police is designed to save an endangered tribe – by keeping loggers off their land.
It took Pira'I two small steps to get up into the helicopter, but those steps bridged two completely different worlds.
Pira'I is a member of a 350-strong tribe called the Awa. They live in the last islands of rainforest in what is now the extreme eastern edge of the Amazon.
He grew up in a tiny nomadic tribal group, completely separate from the rest of the world.
Now, together with his friend Hamo, he was taking his first ever flight, leaving the jungle where they have lived all their lives.
They gave me a nervous smile through the window, then the engine roared and their faces vanished in a great eddy of leaves and dust as the helicopter rose up into the air.
This was a momentous trip for them, and for the entire tribe.
The Awa are one of very few hunter-gatherer communities left in the Amazon basin.
Survival International, a pressure group that campaigns for the rights of indigenous people, has described the Awa as "the most endangered tribe on the planet".
Listen to From Our Own Correspondent for insight and analysis from BBC journalists, correspondents and writers from around the world.
Over the last couple of decades illegal loggers and farmers have invaded their ancestral lands, destroying the forest.
I'd asked Pira'I what it was like growing up in the forest.
"We were always on the run," he told me. "We would find a place to sleep, then the loggers would arrive again to cut down our trees and we would go on the run again."
Pira'I and his family – like most of the Awa – were forced to give up their traditional lifestyle and move into villages. Incredibly, though, a few dozen Awa are holding out.
They remain uncontacted, living in the last stands of jungle in this region.
"It is a miracle they are not dead," one of the officers of Brazil's Indigenous People's Department, Funai, tells me.
Watch a preview of Justin Rowlatt's Newsnight film from the Brazilian Amazon
With his extravagant beard, Leonardo Lenin, lives up to his dramatic name. He has dedicated his life to fighting on behalf of the tribal people of Brazil.
"This is a story of resistance," he says.
"For 514 years our culture has been trying to dominate their culture, but they have survived."
And, thanks to the efforts of people like Leo Lenin and Survival International they are now much more likely to do so.
That's because for once there is some good news from the Amazon.
I had come back to witness the Brazilian government's unprecedented effort to drive out the invaders and to take back the tribe's ancestral lands.
It is called Operation Awa and is on an impressive scale.
The Brazilian army, air force and military police are working alongside Brazil's environmental protection service. The operation is co-ordinated by Funai.
Farmers who have illegally settled on the indigenous reserve that comprises the Awa's territory, have been served notice to leave. And they seem to be doing so.
The government has offered them plots elsewhere in the state.
I watched a family load up a truck with everything they own – including the tiles from the roof of the farm they'd lived in for 18 years.
Kamara, a member of the Awa tribe which is made up of approximately 350 members, 100 of whom have no contact with the outside world
It raised a great cloud of pink dust as it rumbled off down the rough track, the family clinging to the jumble of wardrobes, tables, beds – even a satellite dish.
Another day I watched raid on an illegal saw mill involving officers from Ibama, the Brazilian environment agency.
"Start Quote
"I saw it with my own eyes, they have sent the non-Indians a long way away, they must have told them 'go away!'"
Pira'IAwa tribesman
The trunks of huge trees lay scattered around it like so many matchsticks.
The Ibama agents took careful records of what they'd found, including the account books that carefully noted payments to the local police.
Then Agent Maria Luisa Gonclaves, who had led the raid, gave the order to torch the place.
"Isn't the fire beautiful," I heard her whisper to a colleague, as we watched great tongues of flame dance up into the night sky.
But how would the government show the tribe that the "invaders" had been driven out?
That's where the helicopter came in.
It flew Pira'I and Hamo, the two nervous Awa tribesmen, to the edge of the indigenous reserve where they watched a bulldozer destroy the shells of the farmers' homes.
Finally Pira'I relaxed, breaking into a big smile as the buildings collapsed.
When they arrived back at the village, a crowd gathered.
"The destruction is huge," Pira'I told them triumphantly.
"I saw it with my own eyes, they have sent the non-Indians a long way away, they must have told them, 'Go away! Go away!'"
"Are you sure they are not hiding in the forest and will come back?" asked someone.
"No, there is no-one left," Hamo replied with certainty.
"They don't have houses any more. The non-Indians have destroyed everything, even the school.
"They have a truck with a hand of iron that destroys everything," Hamo was clearly very impressed.
I felt privileged to be present on such a momentous day for the tribe.
But the truth is once the troops have gone the loggers and farmers will be back.
The big question is – is Brazil is willing to invest the resources necessary to keep them out permanently?
Only then will Pira'I, Hamo and the rest of the tribe be able to live in peace.

Vince Vaughn falls flat on his face in The Dilemma
By Chris Tookey for MailOnline
Updated: 11:36 EDT, 24 January 2011
The Dilemma (12A)
Verdict: A disaster
Rating: Turkey
Boorish: The Dilemma, starring Kevin James and Vince Vaughn, could well be one of the year's biggest disasters
Sitting through 118 minutes of this horrifically misjudged attempt at glossy comedy is like having to watch a slow-motion film of people you have previously admired perish in a car crash.
It is certain to rank among 2011's most memorable disasters. It's emotionally dishonest and packed with dismayingly dislikeable characters. Its makers may think it's a comedy, but there were more laughs in Apocalypse Now.
The most frustrating aspect is that it starts from an interesting premise: what would you do if you found the wife of your best friend was having an affair?
Would you (a) do nothing; (b) warn the wife you know about her affair; (c) beat up the guy who's having an affair with the wife; or (d) tell your best friend?
The hero of this movie, played without an ounce of charm by Vince Vaughn at his most block-headed, boorish and boring, does all the above in turn, and it's a sign of the film's failure that not one of his choices seems even slightly sensible, realistic or amusing.
Black Swan: One of the greatest films I've ever seen What's the story? Morning Glory treats us like idiots
The women (Jennifer Connelly and Winona Ryder) are portrayed misogynistically as humourless and accusatory. Their menfolk are meant to be lovable, but come across as obese, insensitive, and self-pitying. Director Ron Howard and writer Allan Loeb are evidently undecided about whether they are trying to make a knockabout farce or a searching analysis of modern relationships. The result is, predictably, a mess and, much less predictably, deeply unpleasant.
Howard has made some good films, among them Frost/Nixon and Apollo 13. He has even made a few charming comedies, such as Splash! and Parenthood. But this is his most tasteless film ever — no mean feat from the man who gave us The Da Vinci Code.
Sabotaged by a bungling script and an astonishingly obnoxious performance by his leading man (this is the hapless Vaughn's fourth turkey in a row, following Fred Claus, Four Christmases and Couples Retreat), Howard, who once won an Oscar for A Beautiful Mind, comes across as a clueless amateur.

Julio Cesar Chavez defends Jr.
Ex-world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. has blamed breathing problems for a disappointing defeat which caused fans in Phoenix to riot.
Chavez ultimately backed out of his clash with Daniel Jacobs after five rounds and was subsequently pelted by an angry crowd for his trouble.
After the contest, Chavez attempted to make sense of his loss, the fourth of his career and third in his last six.
Some of the comments given by Chavez have raised more than a few eyebrows.
"It was a very good fight. I was getting close but got headbutted above the left eye," said Chavez Jr. "Then I had problems because of all the blood.
"I came over to the corner and couldn't breathe. He elbowed me and headbutted me. Very tough fight, I felt I couldn't go cause I couldn't breathe properly. The ref wasn't calling anything.
"I apologize to the fans. I'd love to have a rematch. I got headbutted, he fought a dirty fight and didn't even take a point away. He would have been able to continue doing the dirty work."
Father Julio Cesar Chavez, a legend of the sport, tried and failed to defend his son as any father would:
He said: "With all due respect to the fans of Phoenix, Arizona, now I disagree with you. My son was making a competitive fight and was winning.
"Unfortunately a headbutt and an elbow come and he has a broken nose. He will now undergo surgery."
Fans didn't react kindly to Chavez on social media. The majority of responses were further abuse to Junior.
It's hard to see where Chavez Jr. can go from here after the whole build-up was showered in shambles.
Promoter Eddie Hearn has since been the target for criticism for firstly booking Chavez and then moving the fight to accommodate him.
Chavez failed weight but was still paid a reported $3 million dollars for what is being labelled by most as a weak effort.
Those in attendance, all ten thousand plus of them, certainly didn't like what they saw.

EXHIBIT: ELEMENT #5
Beginning in 1975, the Hmong were displaced from Laos and fled into Thailand as refugees. At the refugee camps, each individual was given a refugee identity number for processing before they were transported to their future home which could have been the United States, France or Australia.
Several generations later, many second and third generation Hmong Americans are disconnected from this chapter of history. There exist countless refugee identity photos that archive this piece of history. These photos serve both as a scar and as a reminder of the sacrifices made by many Hmong families.
Hmongstory 40, will collect as many of these photos as possible. From the collection of refugee photos, we will create a 10ft by 30ft mural that will showcase all the photos that were collected through this photo drive.
This mural will be on display at the Sacramento show as part of the exhibit. It will serve to inspire and reconnect new generations of disconnected Hmong and bridge them to a critical piece of their past and history.

By about 1900, though, cloth and clothing got cheap enough that there was a big change in how people thought about clothes. Instead of wearing many layers of clothes, a lot of people started to wear different clothes every day. Young kids wore cotton dresses – both boys and girls, until they were about five years old! Older girls wore short dresses, only to their knees, and then as you got older you would gradually wear your dresses longer until they were down to the ground. Older boys wore short pants, and then when they were about ten or twelve they started to wear long pants.
During World War I, soldiers needed most of the cloth for uniforms and bandages. it was hard for women to get cloth for their own clothes. They started to make their clothes simpler and their skirts shorter, to save cloth. A lot of women were also working in factories, and they needed practical clothes.
Men mostly wore wool pants, wool jackets and vests, and cotton shirts, just as they do today. Often they wore suspenders instead of a belt. They always wore hats when they were outside (but never inside).
In the 1920s, women wanted to wear looser, more comfortable clothes. They wore shorter dresses – even above their knees! And they started to wear bras under their dresses instead of corsets. More women started to wear silk dresses, but silk came from China and it was very expensive. Coats made of raccoon fur were the coolest thing to have. As Europeans began to get to know the Inuit people better, they started to copy Inuit parkas and anoraks for their own winter clothes.
By the 1950s, many women had begun to wear pants at home, and if they weren't dressed up. Girls weren't allowed to wear pants to school, though, even in the 1960s, and women couldn't wear pants in a restaurant or in church. By the 1970s that had changed, and by the end of the 1900s many women wore pants more than they wore skirts or dresses. Men continued to wear wool suits and cotton shirts to work for some kinds of jobs, and cotton jeans for other kinds of jobs.

Mothercare's plans to close 60 stores to put 900 jobs at risk
Mother and baby products retailer Mothercare plans to close 60 out of its 137 stores by next June, ten more than it announced in May.

The additional closures primarily come as it has put its subsidiary Childrens World division into administration.
These closures will risk 900 jobs, 100 more than the earlier stated number, reported the BBC.
These shutdowns will be conducted through a company voluntary arrangement (CVA), which will enable the company to close shops that are making losses.
The struggling retailer also stated that it would raise fresh capital of £32.5m from its existing shareholders through the issuance of new shares.
Although last month Mothercare had agreed to a company voluntary arrangement insolvency deal with its landlords and creditors, it could not gain approval for its proposals regarding Childrens World.
As Childrens World is being put into administration, 13 of its 22 stores, mostly those located out of town, will transfer to Mothercare's other companies and remain operational.
It is yet to divulge information on which stores will stay operational.
Mothercare chief executive Mark Newton-Jones told the BBC's Today programme that its business in the UK had suffered due to insufficient investment.
"Mothercare will have 77 UK stores by June 2019 and 73 stores by the end of the 2021-22 fiscal year."
The company believes that its rescue plan would enable it to modernise itself.
Mark Newton-Jones said: "We will really be able to speed up the transformation.
"We need to speed up the transformation because the retail landscape is pretty brutal at the moment."
Online competition, increasing rents, and weak sales have been plaguing retailers on the UK high street. There have been 22,000 jobs affected so far this year, reported the BBC.
Carpetright, House of Fraser, Carphone Warehouse, Marks & Spencer, and New Look are among the chains that have announced store closures.
