WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Department of Justice filed a civil denaturalization complaint on Sept. 24, 2025, against Gurdev Singh Sohal, who allegedly used a false identity to obtain U.S. citizenship after being ordered deported more than a decade earlier. Sohal, also known as Dev Singh and Boota Singh Sundu, was ordered deported in 1994 under the name Dev Singh.

According to the complaint, Sohal used a new name, date of birth, and date of entry into the country. In 2020, expert fingerprint analysis confirmed both identities belonged to the same perso...

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a civil complaint to revoke the citizenship of Hector Daneri Regalado, who was convicted of sexually abusing a child during the period he was required to demonstrate good moral character for naturalization.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Board of Immigration Appeals has reversed a 2025 decision by an Immigration Judge that granted cancellation of removal to Samuel Michael McDonald, a Canadian citizen and lawful permanent resident of the United States, citing the severity of his criminal conduct and recent convictions involving a 14-year-old victim.

Although those convictions were classified as misdemeanors, the Board determined that the underlying conduct—including alleged sexual grooming, drug use, and attempts to involve the victim in sexual activities—presented serious and recent adverse factors that outweighed any equities.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – An Arizona woman has pleaded guilty for her role in a mass-mailing fraud scheme that defrauded thousands of elderly consumers across the United States and abroad. According to federal prosecutors, 48-year-old Kimberly Stamps of Gilbert, Arizona, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud.
