DOJ Files To Denaturalize Former Mayor After His Real Identity Is Exposed
"Federal authorities have filed a civil complaint seeking to revoke the U.S. citizenship of former North Miami Mayor Philippe Bien-Aime, accusing him of lying about his identity and immigration history to
obtain naturalization.

In a 13-page complaint filed by the Department of Justice, the government alleges Bien-Aime “willfully misrepresented his identity and immigration history throughout the naturalization process,” according to documents reviewed by NBC6.
DOJ describes the case as a rare denaturalization action. Prosecutors say Bien-Aime is the same individual previously ordered removed from the United States under a different name.
According to court records, Department of Homeland Security data — including fingerprint comparisons — indicate that the man who became a U.S. citizen as Philippe Bien-Aime is the same person once known as Philippe Janvier.
The complaint states that on July 31, 2000, an immigration judge ruled that Janvier entered the U.S. by fraud, using a “photo-switched” passport. The judge ordered him removed to Haiti. Authorities say there is no evidence he ever complied with that order."
