Arizona official arrested amid alleged illegal adoption scheme

Paul Petersen and an associate are facing over 30 charges in connection to allegedly helping bring pregnant women from the Marshall Islands to the U.S. to give birth and then have the children adopted by American families.

The indictment alleges that the pair"facilitated travel for pregnant women from the Republic of the Marshall Islands ... to come to Arizona for the purpose of giving a child up for adoption." Garcia said that officials are"not questioning the validity of the adoptions" and are focusing instead on how Petersen and Jennet allegedly violated a treaty between the U.S. and the Marshall Islands that banned bringing women over to give birth for the purposes of adoption and for the alleged fraudulent use of Arizona health care services.

“We don’t have any interest in unwinding or interfering with adoptions that have taken place,” Reyes said.

You don't know what really happened you only know what people want you to think, do any of you know him or who he is? They'll never tell the real story.

Crime does not pay!

From his bio: 'He is an active member of the Maricopa Republican Party...' It figures. Support deporting kids who have lived here their entire lives while making money trafficking babies for sale.

Is that where the imprisoned kids are going

Stop making stupid people famous. As much as I don’t care for the guy, stop with the fucking cancel culture. If you don’t agree with someone that’s your choice and you don’t have to like them, but don’t attempt to “cancel” someone because their opinions differ. This is going to bite you all in the ass one day.
