In a shocking turn of events, 32-year-old Titus Ombina Aboge of Ada, Oklahoma, has pleaded guilty to misrepresenting his United States citizenship. This brazen act of deception has left many in the community wondering how someone could so callously disregard the law.
According to court documents, Aboge, a citizen of the Republic of Kenya, submitted a fake Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9 to the Department of Homeland Security, claiming to be a U.S. citizen. This egregious crime was uncovered by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma announced that Aboge’s guilty plea was accepted by the Honorable Steven P. Shreder, Magistrate Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma. The court has ordered the completion of a presentence report, and sentencing will be scheduled following its completion.
Aboge now faces a maximum of 3 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. The gravity of his actions should serve as a stark reminder that tampering with one’s citizenship status will not be taken lightly.
This case highlights a disturbing trend of individuals attempting to manipulate their immigration status. As the United States continues to grapple with complex immigration issues, it is essential that those who would seek to exploit the system be held accountable.
Assistant United States Attorney Timothy Hammer represented the United States in this case. As the court navigates the complexities of Aboge’s plea, one thing is clear: those who would seek to misrepresent their citizenship status will be brought to justice.
