USCIS Plays Key Role in Denaturalization Process to Begin for Former Mayor of the City of North Miami

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Justice, led an investigation that resulted in the filing of a civil denaturalization complaint this week. The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court of Miami, Florida, against Philippe Bien-Aime, former mayor of the City of North Miami.

The denaturalization process seeks to revoke Bien-Aime's U.S. citizenship. USCIS played a key role in the investigation that led to the legal action.

The complaint marks a significant step in the legal proceedings against the former mayor. Further details of the case are expected to emerge as the process moves forward in federal court.
