US government urges SCOTUS to reject citizenship appeal in sham marriage case

If you are the type of person who enjoys strong immigration laws like Donald Trump does, then you will be thrilled to hear this message:

The Department of Homeland Security is urging the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold the cancellation of the visa of a Palestinian man who married an American to gain citizenship but was then accused of a sham marriage.

The Department of Homeland Security is prepping the Supreme Court for when they hear Bouarfa v. Mayorkas on Oct. 15.

According to NTD, "The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) rescinded the immigrant visa of noncitizen Ala’a Hamayel, who is married to Amina Bouarfa, a U.S. citizen. They have produced three children, all of whom are U.S. citizens, according to Bouarfa’s petition.

DHS determined that Hamayel had attempted to pass off a previous marriage of his as legitimate to obtain a green card, also known as permanent resident status. Because he was found to have engaged in fraud in the past, the current marriage to Bouarfa was deemed fraudulent, and his visa, which had been approved, was revoked."

The federal government initially granted the man a chance to become a permanent citizen, but later revoked the approval "because there was substantial and probative evidence that Mr. Hamayel entered his first marriage for the purpose of evading immigration laws."
