Minnesota: 4 Somalis on the verge of losing their American nationality

The U.S. Justice Department on Monday accused 4 Somali Americans residing in Minnesota of deception on Visa Diversity program 10 years ago and is seeking a judgment revoking the four defendants’ citizenship.

Fosia Abdi Adan aged 51, Ahmed Mohamed Warsame 54, Mustaf Abdi Adan 33 and Faysal Jama Mire 31 are accused of allegedly committing false marriage and forged offspring, changing names, illegal procurement of naturalization and lacking valid immigration documents among others.

A statement by Attorney General Jeff Sessions read that the current immigration system as “easily abused by fraudsters and nefarious actors.”

The investigation comes amid the car attack by an Uzbekistan man who came to USA through Visa Diversity program and ran over cyclists in New York October 31, provoking President Trump to call for the elimination of the program.

The Diversity Visa Lottery grants visas to a limited number of people from countries with historically low rates of immigration to the United States.
