RICO in Iowa: Eviction Retaliation
I. Federal RICO Appeal (Frazier v. Jones, 8th Circuit)
“This was the setup. No kids were there. This is what they do to retaliate.”
After nearly a year of navigating Iowa’s judicial system, Billy Frazier’s federal case, Frazier v. Jones (1:25-cv-00033-CJW-MAR), has entered its next stage: appeal before the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Frazier filed this civil RICO action alleging coordinated retaliation and corruption among judges, prosecutors, DHS, local police, and housing officials in Cedar Rapids. The case, originally accepted in the Northern District of Iowa, was dismissed without prejudice by Judge C.J. Williams on August 13, 2025, after a series of warnings and procedural hurdles.
The official dismissal was rooted in “deficiencies” in the complaint and cited multiple immunity doctrines — judicial, prosecutorial, public defender, and social worker — effectively shielding every government actor named.
What followed, however, raised alarms. Even after Frazier filed a third amended complaint and supporting motions, the court moved swiftly to deny all further filings post-dismissal, with Judge Williams preemptively barring reconsideration, stating:
“All further filings shall be treated as correspondence and will not be ruled on.”
Critics argue this behavior constituted judicial predetermination, and Will himself stated:
“They had already decided how this would end, no matter what evidence I gave them. That’s not due process — that’s a script.”
The appeal now sits before the Eighth Circuit, where Will is confident that his ADA protections as a self-represented litigant with documented mental health conditions will factor into the court’s review.
“This time I cited ADA. I didn’t know before that I was protected. But I am. That changes everything.”
II. Housing Retaliation Lawsuit (Frazier & Goodfellow v. Algers & Cedar Rapids Housing)
Running parallel to the RICO action is Frazier’s housing retaliation case filed in Linn County District Court alongside his disabled neighbor, Ms. Goodfellow. Both live in homes owned by the same landlord — and both claim they’ve faced escalating retaliation for speaking up about rent violations, HUD errors, and landlord misconduct.
Will’s story is personal:
“I’m Billy Frazier, a single Black father of four — including a 14‑month‑old baby — and the legal guardian who has protected and provided for my children for over a decade.”
After submitting FOIA requests and rent audits, Will discovered that mandatory 60‑day rent increase notices were never sent and that utility reimbursement checks were being mismanaged. Rather than fix the violations, housing officials and landlords allegedly retaliated:
- Ms. Goodfellow was named as a co-defendant in legal documents and subjected to eviction notices.
- Will’s home was targeted with sudden rent spikes, delayed repairs, and threats of removal from housing programs.
- Their case was assigned two overlapping docket numbers — CVCV108531 and CVCV108532 — which Will successfully fought to consolidate after alleging they were intended to create procedural confusion.
“This was done to overload my cognitive abilities and make me screw up procedurally.”
Now, the case proceeds under Judge Christopher Bruns, and Will has filed motions to:
- Dismiss improper law firm representation from landlords.
- Submit evidence of ongoing retaliation (including misrouted mail, delay tactics, and administrative interference).
- Affirm that his co-plaintiff is fully aligned and impacted by the proceedings.
III. Jail & Retaliation (OWI Sentence and Federal Rights)
Frazier was sentenced to four days in jail for a first-offense OWI — double the normal sentence — which he claims was retaliatory for naming Judge Casey Jones after he started to expose the misconduct in the OWCR154106 case and his ties to being his lawyer in the 2007 gun case.
“He gave me four days when everyone else gets two. That’s his version of punishment without making it obvious.”
He gave Will alternatives to do community service but due to being a single father with a baby and full time job it wasn’t possible. He must now serve his remaining two days on November 8–9, 2025.
The OWI itself — which he calls fabricated — became a gateway for further abuse:
- DHS was contacted despite no children being present.
- A flash drive with overwhelming evidence of misconduct tampering with evidence and perjury was allegedly deleted during proceedings involving Judge Fisher — now recused from his housing case.
“It’s not just a mistake — it’s systemic. They use the same playbook. Arrest, threaten, overload, erase the record.”
He has submitted his Iowa Supreme Court appeal brief on the OWI conviction, now under review.
IV. New Threat: Retaliation by Eviction Notice
The most recent development ties directly into the housing retaliation narrative — and the timing is hard to ignore.
On October 29, 2025, attorneys representing landlords Rick and Beth Alger filed a resistance to Frazier’s Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) request, arguing there was no eviction in progress and that no 3‑day notice or FED action (Forcible Entry and Detainer) had been filed.
Just five days later, on November 3, 2025, those same landlords — Rick and Beth Alger — posted a 3‑Day Notice to Quit on the front door of Frazier’s home at 3316 Oakland Road NE, Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
“They told the judge there was no eviction. Then tried to evict me hours later.”
— Will Frazier
The notice demands that Will and his family vacate within three business days under Iowa Code §648.3, citing lease termination from October 31, 2025 and referencing a prior 30‑day notice issued August 28, 2025.
This new filing directly undercuts the defense’s claim that “no eviction” was underway and may serve as critical proof of retaliation-in-progress in both state and federal filings.
“They resisted the TRO saying no FED or 3‑day notice had been filed — then five days later, here it is on my door. It’s coordinated retaliation.”
— Will Frazier
Housing Retaliation Timeline
“They said no eviction was coming… then four days later they slapped a 3-Day Notice on my door. It was a setup.” – Will Frazier
- June 2, 2025: Will files a formal complaint with Cedar Rapids Housing Services regarding suspicious rent increases and missing utility reimbursement checks. He alleges the $175 rent increase matched his usual monthly utility reimbursement — making it appear that the funds were essentially being stripped.
- Mid-June 2025: A FOIA request response from Cedar Rapids Housing confirms that no federally required 60-day notice was on file for the rent increase. This violates HUD guidelines, confirming the retaliatory nature of the hike.
- Summer 2025: In an attempt to resolve the issue pre-litigation, Will enters settlement talks with the Algers. The landlord initially agrees to install mini-split AC units in his home — then backs out without explanation.
- September 28, 2025: Will files a formal complaint with HUD (Des Moines office), escalating the housing retaliation to the federal level.
- October 31, 2025: The Algers post a Notice to Vacate on both Will’s and his neighbor’s doors — one month after the HUD complaint. This triggers eviction fears for both families, who are Section 8 recipients.
- Late October 2025: Will files a civil suit in Linn County against the Algers and Cedar Rapids Housing, requesting a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) to block any housing retaliation.
- October 29, 2025: The landlords’ attorney resists the TRO, stating they had not yet filed a 3-Day Notice or a Forcible Entry and Detainer (FED) lawsuit, thus arguing the TRO was “unnecessary.”
November 3, 2025: The Algers serve Will with a 3-Day Notice to Quit — just days after their TRO resistance. This move contradicts their previous legal claim and appears to directly follow the denied court intervention.
