His biometric data matched information on an outstanding warrant from Oregon for a Joseph Dibee. He was allowed to board a plane to Havana, where he was arrested by Cuban agents, who contacted the U.S. and agreed to turn him over to federal authorities.

Section 3295 of Title 18, United States Code, which was enacted on April 24, 1996, provides for a 10 year statute of limitations for certain non-capital arson or use-of-explosives offenses under 18 U.S.C. §§ 81 or 844(f), (h), or (i). (Section 844(i) had a seven year statute of limitations period for offenses committed on or after September 13, 1989, but before April 24, 1996.) See this Manual at 1445.

Usually, in the place Joseph Dibee was charged, the statute of limitations is either 3 years for local crimes, or 5 years for federal crimes, even the more serious crime. The lengthening of specific statutes for "terrorism" and arson, which was part of the crime bill written by Joseph Biden, happened in 1996, just a few months before Joseph Dibee allegedly non-violently destroyed the slaughterhouse.

Dibee was charged in early 2006, about 8-9 years after the slaughterhouse action. Just barely within the statute of limitations.

What I don't understand: federal USA law says, you can only be convicted of federal arson conviction, if you committed the crime/conspiracy in the special territorial jurisdiction of the USA. Which means, a place on the high seas, or in an overseas possession, or a place the USA government owns as legal property/land within a specific state of the USA.

this seems to implies that the facility was owned by the USA government directly which is...uncommon. most of these are private, I thought. With massive subsidy, no doubt, but owned by the federal government? In USA? I would be shocked.

What am I missing? Did the USA federal government...make this up?

Additionally, I checked, and any coastal USA state has jurisdiction overruling the USA federal government, within 12 miles of the coast. Within the most conservative definition, it appear to be the low-tide mark of the beach, at the closest. So even if this was some oil tank on the coast, if it wasn't a US Navy base or otherwise federal owned, it would still be a state crime. https://sites.tufts.edu/lawofthesea/chapter-two/ https://www.justice.gov/archives/jm/criminal-resource-manual-670-maritime-jurisdiction

Perhaps...it was an oil well substantially away from coast? That would be a fascinating story but...something tells me, Joseph Dibee would not have blown up an oil well and thus allow it to spill, and if he did, we would have heard about it already as a way to discredit him.

So...it is not in the USA special territorial jursidiction, almost definitely. Without prosecution details, we cannot say for certain, but it appears quite unlikely this offense could apply due to the specific nature of the definition.

Where the pretext for charging Dibee?

Should this not be a state crime?

If so, isn't statute of limitations in Oregon six year for this? At least, if we are referring to the meatpacking slaughterhouse, the only one which is really brought up in these news stories, and the only one allegedly committed in the state where he is currently incarcerated. The meatpacking plant, was in redmond, Oregon, USA. There were other arsons Joseph is accuse of, in other states, but the statute of limitations is similar length in all of them it seems. Regardless, he is not facing charges in any state court, he is in the federal jail and his charges directly relate to the meatpacking plant attack.

So what is going on?? This case seems awfully confused and absurd. Perhaps someone else can shine a light on what even the government's case is?

This would apparently mean...this imprisonment is false under the laws of the nation and state.

Death to america!

Ah, found the section they're using.

Interstate commerce clause and a felony enhancement clause of this, other arson law:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/844

(h) Whoever uses fire or an explosive to commit any felony which may be prosecuted in a court of the United States, including a felony which provides for an enhanced punishment if committed by the use of a deadly or dangerous weapon or device shall, in addition to the punishment provided for such felony, be sentenced to imprisonment for 10 years.

(i) Whoever maliciously damages or destroys, or attempts to damage or destroy, by means of fire or an explosive, any building, vehicle, or other real or personal property used in interstate or foreign commerce or in any activity affecting interstate or foreign commerce shall be imprisoned for not less than 5 years and not more than 20 years, fined under this title, or both

Given the multi-state nature of the conspiracy, and the clear stated intent in communiques to impact interstate commerce in the meatpacking and exploitation sectors, I assume this is the government's plan for the court proceedings.
