Our Fight for Sovereign Jurisdiction

Challenging Unlawful Jurisdiction: Documenting over two decades of legal suits, constitutional challenges, and federal court filings.

This record documents the legal suits and filings initiated by the Chief Representative of the Moorish Republic, both individually and in conjunction with others, in our ongoing effort to separate from the forced jurisdiction of the United States of America through the federal court system.

Federal District Court Filings

Most of the 20+ federal cases filed were based on direct challenges to the subject-matter jurisdiction of state and municipal courts[cite: 14]. Below are key highlights from these ongoing legal proceedings:

Menes Ankh El v. John Layton Case No. 1:12-cv-1688 A habeas corpus action challenging state court subject-matter jurisdiction[cite: 14]. This litigation resulted in placement on the Homeland Security Sovereign Citizen Database.

Menes Ankh El and Tyreese Taylor-Bey v. Hill et al Case No. 1:2013-cv-01471 Initiated federal criminal action against various judges and prosecutors for ongoing violations against the U.S. Constitution.

Menes Ankh El v. STATE OF INDIANA et al. Case No. 2:15-cv-391 Civil suit brought against judicial officers who systematically refused to prove proper subject-matter jurisdiction.

Menes Ankh El ex rel. WENDELL BROWN v. INDIANA STATE et al. Case No. 1:22-cv-00410 Civil suit utilizing commercial terminology and standing against municipal corporations for constitutional violations.

Menes Ankh El v. STATE OF INDIANA, COUNTY OF MARION, CITY OF INDIANAPOLIS Case No. 1:23-cv-01097 Civil suit using Alien's Action for Tort against municipal corporations for false imprisonment without proof of territorial jurisdiction.

Menes Ankh El and Ogbonna Shakur El v. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Case No. 1:23-cv-01098 Civil action seeking formal recognition of Moorish Republic nationality, standing, and autonomous governance.

Menes Ankh El v. UNITED STATES f/k/a United States in Congress Assembled Case No. 1:24-cv-01124 Suit challenging forced U.S. citizenship. The court refused to serve the U.S. Attorney General, effectively refusing to respond on the record.

U.S. Supreme Court Submissions

While several landmark cases have reached the United States Supreme Court, the Court maintains discretionary authority to decline hearing these matters.

1. Menes Ankh El v. Indiana, et al. (Civil Suit) — Docket No. 16-6518

2. Menes Ankh El v. Laurie Johnson (Habeas Corpus) — Docket No. 17-6806

3. Menes Ankh El v. Robert Carter, et al. (Habeas Corpus) — Docket No. 19-8152

4. Menes Ankh El v. Marion County, et al. (Civil Suit) — Docket No. 19-2799

Transition to International Law & Tribunals

Realizing that an adequate remedy cannot be found within domestic U.S. territorial courts, the Moorish Republic has turned its focus toward the international community. We recognize that our situation is fundamentally international in nature.

"Our most recent actions include an Application Instituting Proceedings filed directly with the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and a formal complaint submitted to the United Nations Human Rights Council."

        Exhaustion of Domestic Remedies Demands Transition to Public International Law and Indigenous Self-Determination.
    

Asserting indigenous sovereignty requires an unyielding pursuit of justice through high international tribunals.
