Federal prosecutors are seeking to revoke former North Miami mayor Philippe Bien-Aime’s U.S. citizenship, alleging he obtained it through identity and immigration fraud.
The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a denaturalization case against former North Miami mayor Philippe Bien-Aime, alleging he misrepresented his identity and immigration history during the naturalization process, including entering the United States in 1997 with a fraudulent passport and remaining in the country despite a removal order, with federal authorities citing fingerprint records linking him to a previously ordered deportation, while his attorney said they are reviewing the complaint and will respond “through the appropriate legal channels,” as officials stress, “United States citizenship is a privilege grounded in honesty and allegiance to this country,” and note the lengthy legal process that could ultimately determine whether his citizenship is revoked.
