Debashis Ghosh, a naturalized U.S. citizen of Indian origin, is facing denaturalization proceedings due to allegations of investor fraud and concealing this information during his citizenship application. Ghosh is accused of defrauding investors of $2.5 million, funds intended for an aircraft maintenance facility. He entered the U.S. on non-immigrant visas starting in 1991 and became a citizen in 2012. The U.S. Justice Department has filed denaturalization actions against Ghosh and 11 others, citing serious offenses. Ghosh allegedly misrepresented his criminal history in his naturalization application. The government claims that Ghosh committed a crime involving moral turpitude and made false statements. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, citizenship can be revoked if obtained illegally or through concealment of material facts. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that those who committed fraud should not have been naturalized. The Justice Department is working to restore integrity to the naturalization process. Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate emphasized the commitment to pursue those who unlawfully obtained citizenship.
