On sat the 12 of November, I had a short conversation with Dutch B. It was a happy but sad one. I do not know if you are aware of his situation so I will take this time to give you an idea.
During the early hours of June 10th, 2010, Dutch B was picked up at his home and is currently being held by I.C.E at a facility in New Mexico. He was picked up based on an unfortunate situation that had transpired over fifteen (15) years ago. He paid the price for that error and accepted his punishment after which he stood as a role model to many and has not ran afoul of the law since.
On behalf Mr Bailey, his family and friends and especially his children, we ask that anyone who can do anything to rectify the situation to please stand up and do so immediately! Dutch B served in the United States Armed Forces honorably. He is a Gulf War Veteran and was part of the effort to bring democracy to the Middle East. He defended the American way of life and its people. Now, he needs the american people to help him to stay in the country he loves and served.
He has served the Caribbean and Reggae communities in the media as a radio DJ at 88.1 Fm's Reggae extravaganza, on 91.1 WNSB and as a DJ at many venues around Hampton Roads. Dutch B is one of the people who set the table from which many of us now eat as entertainers in the musical field.
We all know Dutch B to be a caring, helpful member of our society, so we must do everything within our rights to make sure that he is treated fairly and consequently be allowed to return to his family and community as soon as possible. We trust that one of you or all of us as a group can expedite this process. Let us keep him in our thoughts as we act on his behalf.
Dutch be has asked that I give you his love and in return he ask that we remember his good deeds! He is only allowed one(1) hour of each day to go out and see the sun, something which most of us take for granted. I hope you can find that soft spot within yourselves to do something for Dutch B.
Please call or write your Congressmen, tv stations, radio stations, newspapers or anyone that will listen on behalf of Howard Dean Bailey aka Dutch B. I and team Virginia Reggae have taken this step to alert you his friends!

As a result of stricter post-Sept. 11 antiterrorism laws, three Cambodian-American immigrants living in Seattle face deportation for felony crimes they committed -- and served time for -- as teens, many years earlier. Following their subjects over the course of three years, filmmakers David Grabias and Nicole Newnham put a human face on immigration in America in this gripping documentary, which screened on PBS's "Independent Lens" series.
SORRY THIS IS THE MOVIE I WAS TALKING ABOUT. I HAVE NO CLUE WHERE I GOT THE FRONT LINE FROM...
