The DOJ is seeking to revoke former North Miami mayor Philippe Bien-Aime’s U.S. citizenship over allegations he obtained naturalization 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. Federal attorneys claim he entered the United States using a fraudulent passport under another name and remained in the country despite a prior removal order.
Court documents also allege that fingerprint records link Bien-Aime to the earlier removal case and that he later obtained permanent residency through a marriage prosecutors say was invalid. His attorney said the legal team is reviewing the complaint and will respond through appropriate legal channels as the case proceeds.
