The Complaint alleges that this is a civil rights action seeking to restrain ongoing and constitutional violations by government officials acting under the color of state law. Valsaint claims that through a calculated campaign of abuse and systemic discrimination, Defendants have unlawfully denied him the rights to renew his American passport, revoked his driver’s license without due process, denied him access to housing, frozen his financial accounts, intercepted private communications, unlawfully withheld state and federal benefits, intercepted his federal income tax refund, and obstructed his access to lawful employment. Accordingly, Valsaint is seeking an injunction against these unlawful actions and monetary damages.
