(LifeSiteNews) — Lisa Miller, an ex-lesbian woman who fled the United States to protect her daughter from her allegedly abusive former partner, is facing prosecution by the Biden Justice Department after being brought back to the U.S. more than a decade later.
Miller, who has renounced homosexuality and converted to Evangelical Christianity, fled to Nicaragua in 2009 to avoid losing custody of her daughter, Isabella, who was seven years old at the time. The Millers were pursued by federal authorities for years during the Obama administration, though they remained in hiding until January, when they voluntarily surrendered themselves at the U.S. Embassy in Nicaragua.
Isabella is now 19, and a court order that granted custody to Miller’s ex-partner, Janet Jenkins, no longer applies to her.
“That was the plan all along – when Isabella turned 18, they would return to the United States,” according to the 419Fund, a Christian nonprofit raising money for Lisa Miller’s cause. “God provided for and protected Lisa and Isabella from September 2009 until January of this year. Many times God thwarted plans of her capture while hiding them in Nicaragua.”
Isabella said in an affidavit filed in February that she was “happy, safe and healthy” while living in Nicaragua.
Miller is currently being detained in Niagara County, New York. A 2014 indictment in Buffalo, where Miller crossed into Canada before fleeing to Nicaragua, charged her with “international parental kidnapping” and conspiracy, the Department of Justice said in a press release earlier this year. Miller’s charges carry up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
“Life in jail continues to be a blessing, for I am daily reminded of Jesus’ love for me and am daily reminded of my shortcomings so that I may be refined in the fire,” she wrote in a recent letter published by the 419Fund. Lack of medication for her Hashimoto’s disease has caused her health to decline “rapidly” in prison, however, she said.
Miller had unsuccessfully petitioned President Donald Trump to pardon her and people who helped her escape to Nicaragua, several of whom have already served jail time. She surrendered herself on January 20.
Isabella ‘traumatized’ after visits with ‘abusive’ lesbian partner
Lisa Miller is the biological mother of Isabella, who was conceived through artificial insemination in 2001. Miller had entered into a civil union in Vermont with Jenkins the previous year. Jenkins has never adopted Isabella and her name is not on Isabella’s birth certificate.
Nevertheless, when Miller and Jenkins’ civil union was dissolved in 2004, a Vermont judge took the legally unprecedented step of declaring Jenkins Isabella’s second “mother,” despite her complete lack of biological and legal connections to the girl.
The judge, William Cohen, a Republican, granted Miller primary custody, but allowed Jenkins visitation rights, which Miller contested in court for years.
