US Fines Indian-Origin Lawyer for Filing Fraudulent Asylum Claims
The US Department of Homeland Security fined Indian-origin lawyer Suraj Raj Singh over USD 470,000 for filing 118 fraudulent asylum documents in 54 cases, according to Homeland Security Investigations. The filings contained nearly identical declarations supporting asylum claims. DHS General Counsel James Percival stated that fraudulent claims undermine the immigration system and public safety. This action follows broader efforts announced in May to address asylum fraud, including fines against another attorney, Vinod Doddamani.
