Case Filing
IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
CIVIL ACTION
MMiqa
Plaintiff
v.
Department of Homeland Security
Defendant
COMPLAINT
WRITTEN STATEMENT FROM THE PLAINTIFF
On June 12, 2026, I was arrested and imprisoned by the Department of Homeland Security. Upon imprisonment, I immediately submitted a self-defence claim under Criminal Code Act Part I §6(10) and provided log evidence in support. I invoked §6(10) explicitly on multiple occasions. DHS officers read and acknowledged each invocation but refused to release me, stating that an investigation needed to be completed first. This directly contradicts the plain text of §6(10), which requires suspension of all punishments upon submission — not upon conclusion of any investigation.
At 23:50, I explicitly noted that the server had come back online and stated I was waiting for DHS's answer. Active discussions continued until approximately 00:54, at which point I was released — nearly three hours after my first invocation of §6(10). DHS has since compensated me $4,100 for unlawful detention, formally acknowledging that the detention was unlawful. However, this compensation does not excuse DHS's deliberate refusal to act. DHS cannot detain a citizen unlawfully and then simply compensate them after the fact — the law requires immediate release, not eventual payment.
The Defendant may argue that the Plaintiff's self-defence claim was insufficient or unproven. This argument is irrelevant to the question of §6(10) compliance. The provision does not require the claim to be accepted, verified, or deemed credible before punishments are suspended. It requires only that a claim be submitted. The quality, strength, or ultimate outcome of the claim has no bearing on the obligation to suspend punishment upon submission. If the claim is later found to be unsubstantiated, the appropriate consequence is the reinstatement of punishment — not the denial of the right to suspension in the first place. DHS's obligation was triggered the moment the Plaintiff submitted their claim. It was not contingent on DHS's assessment of its merits.
I attempted to resolve this matter without court proceedings. I explicitly stated that if DHS waived the remaining imprisonment and provided a full fine refund, I would not pursue litigation. DHS provided the fine refund but informed me that I would still be required to serve 45 minutes of imprisonment for the 3 Murder charges. My core settlement condition — no additional imprisonment — was rejected. DHS subsequently closed Ticket #32935 without notice. I discovered the closure only because I had taken screenshots — the ticket was closed without my knowledge, and my conditions were never addressed.
I do not bring this action lightly. I sincerely regret that DHS's conduct has made court proceedings necessary.
I. PARTIES
1. MMiqa (Plaintiff) — Licensed Attorney, Redmont Bar Association
2. Department of Homeland Security (Defendant)
II. FACTS
1. On June 12, 2026, the Plaintiff was arrested and imprisoned by the Department of Homeland Security.
2. Upon imprisonment, the Plaintiff immediately submitted a self-defence claim under Criminal Code Act Part I §6(10) and provided supporting log evidence.
3. Criminal Code Act Part I §6(10) provides that all punishments must be suspended upon submission of a self-defence claim. The word "upon" is unambiguous — suspension is triggered at the moment of submission, not at the conclusion of any investigation.
4. DHS officers did not release the Plaintiff upon submission. They stated that an investigation needed to be completed first. This has no basis in the text of §6(10).
5. The Plaintiff explicitly invoked §6(10) and demanded immediate release at least 8 times. The first invocation occurred at 23:57. The server came back online at approximately 23:50, and from that point the Plaintiff actively and repeatedly demanded release. Despite being online and actively engaged in the ticket, DHS refused to release the Plaintiff for approximately one hour after the server came back online.
6. At 23:50, the Plaintiff noted the server had returned online and stated they were actively waiting for DHS's response. Active discussions continued.
7. The Plaintiff was only released at approximately 00:54 — having served approximately 82 minutes of imprisonment in total, for which DHS compensated the Plaintiff $4,100. The majority of this time — approximately 60 minutes from around the 20th minute onward — was spent actively demanding release under §6(10) while DHS officers read and acknowledged each demand and chose not to act. Despite Vuda Sage becoming directly involved at approximately 00:14 and being fully aware of the Plaintiff's legal submissions, release was not effected for a further 40 minutes. The Plaintiff was only released after sustained and repeated pressure — not because DHS chose to comply with the law.
8. DHS subsequently acknowledged the unlawful nature of the detention by compensating the Plaintiff $4,100. This compensation confirms the detention was unlawful but does not remedy the deliberate misconduct that caused it.
9. DHS operates on public resources and public trust. The attitude that unlawful detention is acceptable so long as compensation is eventually paid is contrary to the rule of law. DHS had a legal obligation to release the Plaintiff immediately — not to detain first and compensate later.
10. The Plaintiff attempted to resolve this matter without litigation, explicitly stating conditions for settlement. DHS provided a full fine refund but informed the Plaintiff that 45 minutes of imprisonment for the 3 Murder charges would still be required. The Plaintiff's core settlement condition — no additional imprisonment — was therefore rejected. DHS subsequently closed Ticket #32935 without the Plaintiff's knowledge. The Plaintiff discovered the closure only through screenshots taken during the proceedings.
11. The Plaintiff has obtained the full transcript of Ticket #32935. This transcript confirms the complete timeline of events, including all §6(10) invocations, DHS's responses, and the circumstances of the Plaintiff's detention. The transcript is submitted in its entirety as evidence.
12. At 22:12, DHS officer Robbe Haegi explicitly conditioned the Plaintiff's release upon the acceptance of the dispute, requesting proof before proceeding. This directly contradicts §6(10), which requires suspension of all punishments upon submission of a claim — not upon its acceptance or verification. Whether the claim is ultimately accepted or rejected is determined after investigation; the Plaintiff cannot lawfully be held during that investigation.
13. At 01:01, Vuda Sage attributed the delay to management time zones, stating 'response times vary greatly.' However, the Plaintiff observed that Vuda Sage was actively present in the ticket — typing and deleting messages, with the typing indicator visible to the Plaintiff throughout this period. This demonstrates that Vuda Sage was not absent or unavailable, but was actively reviewing the matter and making a deliberate decision not to release the Plaintiff. The continued detention was therefore not an administrative failure caused by unavailability — it was a conscious and deliberate choice made by a DHS officer who was fully present, fully aware of the §6(10) obligation, and actively engaged in the ticket. The law required release upon submission. Vuda Sage chose not to comply. Vuda Sage was actively present from 00:14 onward — a full 40 minutes before the Plaintiff's release at 00:54. During this entire period, the Plaintiff was explicitly demanding release under §6(10). Vuda Sage read these demands, was visibly typing and deleting responses at 00:35, 00:38, and 00:41, and chose not to release the Plaintiff. The 'management time zones' explanation offered at 01:01 is directly contradicted by this timeline — Vuda Sage was present, engaged, and made a deliberate decision not to comply with §6(10) for 40 minutes.
14. The Plaintiff explicitly communicated settlement terms to DHS: that if the fine difference was refunded and no additional imprisonment was imposed for the 3 Murder charges, the Plaintiff would not pursue court proceedings. DHS refunded the full fine amount but explicitly stated that the Plaintiff would still be required to serve 45 minutes of imprisonment for the 3 Murder charges upon arrest. The Plaintiff's core settlement condition — no additional imprisonment — was therefore rejected. DHS subsequently closed Ticket #32935 without the Plaintiff's knowledge. The Plaintiff's decision to file this complaint is a direct consequence of DHS's refusal to waive the remaining imprisonment.
III. CLAIMS FOR RELIEF
CLAIM I: POLICE MISCONDUCT
Criminal Code Act Part I §6(10) is unambiguous. Punishments must be suspended "upon submission" of a self-defence claim. DHS officers were informed of this obligation on multiple occasions over the course of nearly three hours. They acknowledged each invocation. They chose not to act.
Their stated justification — that an investigation needed to be completed first — has no basis in the text of §6(10). The law does not condition release upon the conclusion of an investigation. It requires suspension upon submission.
This was not negligence. This was not an oversight. DHS officers knew the law, were told the law repeatedly, and deliberately refused to apply it. The fact that DHS eventually compensated the Plaintiff $4,100 confirms the detention was unlawful — but it does not transform deliberate misconduct into an administrative error. A law enforcement body cannot unlawfully imprison a citizen and then discharge its liability by writing a cheque. The obligation was to comply with the law in the first place.
Furthermore, DHS closed Ticket #32935 without the Plaintiff's knowledge and without addressing the Plaintiff's stated conditions. This conduct — detaining unlawfully, compensating after sustained pressure, imposing a wanted level, and closing the ticket without notice — demonstrates a pattern of institutional disregard for the Plaintiff's legal rights.
The Defendant may further argue that the Plaintiff's self-defence claim was insufficient. This is irrelevant. §6(10) does not require the claim to be accepted before suspension is triggered. It requires only that a claim be submitted. If the claim is later found to be unsubstantiated, the appropriate consequence is reinstatement of punishment — not denial of the right to suspension. DHS's obligation was triggered the moment the Plaintiff submitted their claim.
Deliberate failure to apply a known and repeatedly cited legal provision by law enforcement constitutes wilful Police Misconduct under Criminal Code Act Part III §7.
Claim II: Misfeasance in Public Office, which provides:
"A person commits a violation if the person:
(a) being a public official, intentionally misuses their power; and
(b) the misuse causes harm to the plaintiff; and
(c) the official knew or ought to have known that the conduct was unlawful."
The following facts are submitted in support:
1. Robbe Haegi and Vuda Sage are public officials acting as officers of the Department of Homeland Security.
2. At 22:12, Robbe Haegi stated: "in order to accept your dispute, I'll need some proof of this being self defense."
3. Vuda Sage entered Ticket #32935 at approximately 00:14.
4. The Plaintiff was not released until 00:54 — 82 minutes after the initial submission of the self-defence claim.
5. The Defendant's interrogatory response states that a player submitting a self-defence claim is entitled to release pending resolution of the dispute.
6. The Defendant compensated the Plaintiff $4,100 for the period of detention.
IV. PRAYER FOR RELIEF
The Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Court:
1. Award nominal damages of $7,500 in recognition of the legal wrong committed.
2. Award punitive damages of $15,000 for the deliberate and wilful nature of DHS's misconduct.
3. The Plaintiff requests such remedy as the Court deems appropriate under RCCA Part XI §3.
V. EVIDENCE
P-001: MMiqa's initial self-defence claim submission and log evidence submitted to DHS
1. MMiqa — The Plaintiff will testify regarding the repeated and explicit invocations of §6(10) during imprisonment, DHS's repeated refusals to act despite full awareness of the legal obligation, the full timeline of detention, the settlement conditions communicated to DHS, and the closure of Ticket #32935 without the Plaintiff's knowledge and without meeting the stated conditions.
2. Vuda Sage — DHS officer who was directly and personally involved in the proceedings. Vuda Sage read the Plaintiff's §6(10) invocations, engaged in active discussions with the Plaintiff regarding the detention, and at 01:01 explicitly attributed the delay to management time zones — confirming that the Plaintiff's continued detention was an administrative failure, not a lawful decision. Vuda Sage will testify regarding DHS's internal decision-making process, who held authority to authorise release, why that authority was not exercised despite the Plaintiff's repeated and explicit legal submissions, and why the Plaintiff was detained for nearly three hours after submitting a valid §6(10) claim.
3. Robbe Haegi — DHS officer who claimed the Plaintiff's ticket at 22:12 and was the first to respond to the Plaintiff's self-defence claim.
The Plaintiff, MMiqa, is a licensed Attorney of the Redmont Bar Association and appears before this Court in a self-represented capacity.
By making this submission, I agree I understand the penalties of lying in court and the fact that I am subject to perjury should I knowingly make a false statement in court.
DATED: This 13th day of June, 2026
