Pakistani
Man Arrested for Selling Bogus ID Cards
ICE
officers in
Denver
have
deported a Pakistani man who sold fake
state identity cards to illegal aliens,
allowing them access to secure military
installations.
The
removal of Raja Ur Rehman Siddiq, 40, was
completed October 11 when he arrived in
Pakistan
on board
a commercial flight escorted by ICE
agents. Saddiq, who had been in U.S.
government custody since April 2003, was
initially convicted of illegal entry into
the United States, sentenced to time
served, and returned to ICE custody in
January.
The
legal permanent resident first came to the
attention of ICE and the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) when agents discovered
he was selling "look-alike"
Colorado
identification cards at his "dollar
store" business in
Colorado
Springs
. While
the cards closely resembled the official
state IDs, they contained disclaimers
warning the cards were not
"government issued." ICE’s
subsequent investigation revealed that
illegal aliens used the cards to gain
access to secure
U.S.
military
installations in the area.
"Anyone
who knowingly and indiscriminately sells
phony identity cards is putting the
security of our communities and even our
country at risk," said Scott Johns,
Assistant Chief Counsel for ICE in
Denver
.
"Documents like this could
potentially be used by terrorists or other
dangerous criminals to obscure their
identities and cover their tracks."
ICE
fought for Siddiq’s removal alleging
that he lied on his original immigrant
visa application in 2000, failing to
disclose he had been prevented from
illegally entering the
U.S.
through
Hong Kong
in 1999,
and in 1992 when he attempted to use a
U.S.
passport
obtained from a source in
Spain
.
During
the immigration proceedings, ICE and FBI
agents pointed to other factors in
Siddiq’s case that also raised cause for
concern, including his possession of
multiple identity and travel documents
from numerous countries, his role in
distributing the “look-alike” ID
cards, and the fact that he owned the
equipment needed to produce fraudulent
documents in the future.
