Indian among 40 people denaturalized by USA in the largest denaturalization effort in history

The Department of Justice of US announced Monday that it has filed denaturalization actions in multiple U.S. district courts against 40 individuals accused of serious offenses, including acting as an agent for a foreign government, committing voluntary manslaughter, and aggravated sodomy against a special‑needs man. Filed between Aug. 21 and Oct. 2, these complaints represent the largest volume of complaints submitted in a single period under the Trump administration.The people who were denaturalized, include India, Pakistan, Afghanistan. Balwinder Singh (55) is among the 40 persons who were denaturalized by the US. Singh came to the US in 1992. In statement, the Department of Justice said, "On September 8, the Department of Justice filed a complaint in the Eastern District of California seeking the denaturalization of Balwinder Singh for using a fraudulent identity to gain admission to and naturalization in the United States. In 1992, Singh submitted an immigration application under the identity of Balwinder Singh."The statement further said that in 2003, Singh sought and received permanent resident status under a second identity. Fingerprints establish that Singh submitted both applications. In 2009, Singh naturalized under his second identity. The complaint alleges seven counts for his numerous misrepresentations and unlawful acts that adversely reflect his moral character. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, a naturalized U.S. citizen’s citizenship may be revoked, and certificate of naturalization canceled, if the naturalization was illegally procured or procured by concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation.“Today’s announcement marks the largest denaturalization effort in modern history,” said Attorney General Todd Blanche. “From an individual convicted of espionage to others convicted of sexual offenses against minors, these defendants concealed critical facts from the U.S. government and represent serious criminal offenders. Under President Trump’s leadership, the Department of Justice will continue to employ the denaturalization process to maintain our national security and protect the American people.”“Every single one of these individuals lied their way into U.S. citizenship,” said Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate of the Justice Department’s Civil Division. “This administration will continue to pursue the largest denaturalization effort in department history to restore trust and integrity in U.S. citizenship. Our message is clear: the United States will not tolerate deception in the naturalization process.”

Proactive enforcement leads to the recovery of thousands of dollars in stolen property during traffic stop

More than $10,000 in jewelry and luxury items believed to have been stolen during a real estate open house has been recovered by Vancouver Police following a traffic stop Saturday night. At approximately 9:25 p.m., officers stopped a rental Chevrolet SUV after observing it leave a residence that is known to police. During the stop, a search of the SUV led officers to discover evidence connected to an unreported theft of jewelry and luxury items that happened during an open house earlier that day. Police also located evidence believed to be connected to other fraud and break-and-enter investigations. “The recovered property and seized evidence are being examined by investigators,” said Sergeant Adam Donaldson of the Vancouver Police Department. “We are working to identify additional victims and determine whether the suspects are linked to other ongoing investigations.” The two men were released pending further investigation. Charges have not yet been approved. Anyone who believes they may have been the victim of a similar crime, or who has information that could assist investigators is asked to contact the Vancouver Police Department.

IIO is Seeking Witnesses to July Arrest of a Man in Vancouver

The Independent Investigations Office of BC (IIO) is seeking witnesses to the arrest of a man that occurred on July 28, in Vancouver.Preliminary information provided by the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) states that around 6:30 a.m., officers were at a multi-unit residential building on the 400-block of Abbott Street to arrest a man on outstanding warrants.Police located the man inside the building, but at one point he jumped from a window on the second floor, onto the street.He suffered injuries and was taken to the hospital for assessment and treatment.The IIO was notified by the VPD of the incident on September 25 and has commenced an investigation. The reason for the delayed notification will form part of the IIO’s investigation.There are two factors that the IIO considers at the beginning of each investigation if there has been an injury that meets the threshold of serious harm , as defined by the Police Act, or a death; and if there is a connection between the serious harm/death and officer action or inaction.If both conditions are met, the investigation will continue to examine all available evidence to determine what occurred. At the conclusion of the investigation, the chief civilian director will consider whether there are reasonable grounds to believe that an offence may have occurred.The IIO is the independent civilian oversight agency of officers and detention guards in British Columbia. It investigates all incidents involving officers or detention guards that result in serious harm or death, whether or not there is any allegation of wrongdoing.
