   MIAMI — The Department of Justice said it is looking to strip a former   
   mayor of North Miami of his U.S. citizenship after he allegedly   
   misrepresented his identity and immigration history during his   
   naturalization process.   
      
   Federal attorneys filed a denaturalization case against Philippe   
   Bien-Aime in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of   
   Florida on Wednesday, court records show.   
      
   Bien-Aime, who is originally from Haiti and was naturalized in 2006, was   
   elected mayor of North Miami in 2019. He resigned in 2022 to run for a   
   seat on the Miami-Dade County Commission, but lost the election.   
      
   In a civil complaint reviewed by NBC News and NBC Miami, which first   
   reported the story, the DOJ claims Bien-Aime first entered the United   
   States in 1997 using a fraudulent, “photo-switched” passport under the   
   name Jean Philippe Janvier.   
      
   In July 31, 2000, an immigration judge determined he entered the country   
   fraudulently and ordered him removed to Haiti, according to the   
   complaint. He appealed the removal order at the time, but later withdrew   
   the appeal, representing that he had returned to live in Haiti. But   
   federal authorities allege he never went back to Haiti and instead   
   remained in the United States under the name Philippe Bien-Aime.   
      
   Department of Homeland Security records — including fingerprint   
   comparisons — show that the person who naturalized as Philippe Bien-Aime   
   is the same individual who was previously ordered removed from the   
   United States under the name Philippe Janvier, according to the   
   complaint.
