A Nigerian who has been convicted of immigration fraud for lying on his application to become a naturalized citizen has lost his citizenship status and will face sentencing in October, U.S. attorney John Horn has announced.
“When someone engages in fraud and presents false information to become a naturalized citizen, it compromises the integrity and security of the naturalization process,” he said in a news release Thursday. “The jury found the defendant completely subverted the process that allows immigrants to become citizens.”
