U.S. authorities are seeking to strip the citizenship of a former South Florida mayor accused of entering the country with a false passport, lying about his identity for 30 years, and committing bigamy to obtain legal status. The Justice Department filed a lawsuit last week in a Miami federal court to denaturalize Philippe Bien-Aime, a Haitian national, who served as mayor of North Miami from 2019 until he ran for a County Commission seat in 2022.
In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote that much of Minnesota Fraud, up to 90%, is caused by people that came into our Country, illegally, from Somalia. He also repeated attacks on Somali American Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, calling her one of the many scammers. Send them back from where they came, Somalia, perhaps the worst, and most corrupt, country on earth, Trump wrote.
"The memo instructed the justice department's civil division to prioritize and maximally pursue denaturalization proceedings in all cases permitted by law and supported by the evidence."
