Sheikh Enamur Rahman, who currently lives in New Hampshire with his son, is also subject to a deportation order from years ago.
Rahman moved to New York City from Bangladesh in 1994 on a non-immigrant visa, according to a lengthy court order issued by District Court Judge Paul Barbadoro.
Rahman engaged lawyers with the hopes of securing work authorization. According to the ruling, he followed the advice of lawyers, changed his name and applied for asylum. He obtained a New York driver license and eventually a passport. But he was eventually caught; his first lawyer was indicted for filing more than 5,000 fraudulent immigration applications.
He obtained permanent legal status in 2004, and in 2007 he became a U.S. citizen. During various interviews and on applications, he did not disclose his use of a false name in New York or the deportation order.
According to the court order, Rahman “by all accounts, remained a citizen in good standing since his naturalization.”
In 2019, however, prosecutors filed complaints against Rahman and sought his deportation. Rahman had said his misrepresentations were not willful and were made on the advice of his lawyer.
“There is no question that Rahman’s failure to disclose his past name constitutes a misrepresentation (of a material fact),” Barbadoro wrote.
Barbardoro revoked Rahman’s citizenship and canceled his certificate of naturalization. He ordered Rahman to hand over any papers indicating his citizenship within 10 days.

Border Patrol agents and other law enforcement officers encountered roughly 2.5 million illegal aliens in the fiscal year that just ended September 30 — shattering the previous record of 1.7 million set last year. That number will only grow if one supposedly conservative group gets its way.
The well-financed State Freedom Caucus Network (SFCN), an offshoot of the congressional Freedom Caucus, deploys extensive resources to promote conservative values in state capitols across America. Recently, in Arizona, the group helped pass the “most expansive school choice legislation in recent memory,” in the words of Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey. Riding high after that victory, SFCN boasted the Arizona law is “model legislation that we have every intention of passing in every state.”
SFCN recently began its nationwide push to duplicate that law in Georgia.
Three separate bills failed in the last session of the Georgia legislature that would have allowed school choice vouchers, worth thousands of dollars each, to go to illegal immigrants. Replacement measures have been promised that would burden Georgia taxpayers and attract even more illegal aliens. Georgia already has the 7th-highest population of illegal residents in the nation. A study by University of Wisconsin researchers found illegal immigrants consistently cite superior American schools as a key reason for remaining in the United States.
Lawmakers should tweak the legislation to ensure that taxpayer dollars don’t flow to illegal alien households.
Between 2017 and 2019, 575,000 children were encountered at the U.S.-Mexico border. By 2020, 321,000 of these children were enrolled in U.S. public schools. If state legislatures expand school choice vouchers at a cost of several thousand dollars per illegal alien student, taxpayers will be on the hook for hundreds of millions of dollars. And given the ongoing border surge, there is functionally no limit to how much taxpayers could be forced to cough up.
Incentivizing even more illegal immigration won’t just hurt students already struggling with overcrowded, understaffed schools. It would also have knock-on effects for workers across the country, who face increased competition and lower wages because of an influx of jobseekers. It is just Economics 101: Increase the supply of workers and wages fall.
Since September 2021, American families have seen prices rise by more than 8 percent. Many families are struggling to get by — and the combination of lower wages, higher rents, and increasingly crowded schools brought on by illegal immigration would only make their lives more difficult… please read the entire column from Inger at the DC Journal website.

The below post is a copy of a letter to the editor published today in the Middle Georgia Houston Home Journal . There is a paywall. We are grateful to Mr. Trent for sending his letter along and for the kind words.
“I can’t help but wonder if Laken Riley’s family knows about Sen. Walker’s measure.”
April 17, 2024
Dear editor,
I write in regard to the guest column your newspaper published Saturday from Mr. D.A. King and the legislation sponsored by Sen. Larry Walker passed by the GOP-controlled General Assembly. I thank you for running the accurate and wisely written column. King is an expert. I too recommend that Gov. Kemp veto SB 354.
I hope readers and conservative voters in Middle Georgia recognize the fact while the Republican lawmakers were proudly boasting of passage of HB 1105 aimed criminal illegals and sanctuary policies, they also passed Walker’s SB 354 which is a literal written invitation to illegal aliens to come to Georgia. The irresponsible quest for more workers and more business in Georgia at any cost has gone over the top of the lunacy mark.
Inviting more illegals will produce more crime and needless misery for Georgians. I can’t help but wonder if Laken Riley’s family knows about Sen. Walker’s measure.
As a retired Senior Special Agent of the former Immigration and Naturalization Service (USINS) I have spent most of my life fighting the fully avoidable crime created by illegal immigration. I served on metropolitan area drug, and organized crime task forces for many years and have supervised special agents assigned to the Joint Terrorism Task Force. In addition, I spent ten years as a uniformed Border Patrol agent assigned to both the northern and southern borders.
My final assignment was as the Assistant Director, Enforcement Training, U.S. Immigration Officer Academy, Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, Glynco, GA.
Trusting voters should be reminded that as ‘candidate Kemp’ in 2018 our governor promised to focus on illegal immigration in Georgia and to end the already illegal sanctuary policies that some jailers have created. Having closely watched Gov. Kemp, I can say with great disgust that he has done nothing since then about our very real illegal immigration problem in Georgia.
If SB 354 becomes law, it will lead to more bills that further dismantle the system in place to discourage illegal immigration in Georgia.
Not many Republican voters want Georgia to be “a great place for illegals to live, work and raise a family.” But Nobody should be surprised if Gov. Kemp proudly signs Walker’s dangerous bill into law while assuring us that it’s “good for business.”
