The US Attorney’s Office for the District of Kansas has announced filing a denaturalisation action against a man born in India who became a United States citizen allegedly under a false identity.
Key Statements
The number has since grown. Ghosh was at the time among 12 individuals against whom the US Department of Justice announced it has filed denaturalisation actions in various US district courts.
Political Context
The US government alleges he misrepresented and concealed material facts in applying to naturalise. “The US government brings this civil action to revoke and set aside the order admitting the defendant’s citizenship and to cancel his certificate of naturalization. The authorities on August 7 filed the civil civil suit against Harinder Singh, alias Harinder Singh Sanghera, also known as Rushpal Singh, of Olathe. When the US Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) initially stopped him in 1991 at JFK International Airport, he identified himself as Rushpal Singh, the authorities noted. In 1995, he was ordered to be deported. Since January 20, 2025, the US Justice Department has filed approximately 123 civil denaturalization complaints, the most in recorded history,” it added.
But the government has “no record Singh ever left the US pursuant to his exclusion and deportation order”, as per the Attorney’s office. “He did not disclose his prior immigration history under a different name,” said the US Justice Department.
