Todd Blanche, the Trump administration's Attorney General, declared the action the largest denaturalization effort in modern history.
Ahmad Bahar Khattak, also known as Bahar Ahmad and Said Umar Khan, evaded a 1994 exclusion order by filing for naturalization in Virginia under a false name, securing citizenship on March 20, 2008.
Ahmed Khan entered the United States from Pakistan in 1999, fabricated a death certificate for his living wife, married a U.S. citizen, and used the sham marriage to obtain permanent residency in 2002 and naturalization in 2008.
Syed Mashood Ul Haque, who entered on a tourist visa in 1993, overstayed, applied for asylum in 1994 under the alias Mashud Ahmad, and after a denied application, stayed illegally until naturalizing as a citizen in Florida in 2005.
Syed Furqan Ali, still married to his first wife in 1993, fabricated a divorce and her death to gain entry, filed for naturalization in Texas, and now faces five charges for fraud and false testimony; the revocation hearings will start next month, and he may be deported if citizenship is revoked.
