Honesty is always the best option regarding immigration.  

 

"A May 28 indictment from the U.S. Attorney's office in Arizona, which was reviewed by Newsweek, stated that Castro "knowingly made a false certification on Form N-400, Application for Naturalization," in June 2022. The indictment states that Castro answered "no" to a question asking, "have you ever, sold or smuggled controlled substances, illegal drugs, or narcotics?""

I suppose, as per usual, there's 3 sides to every story.  With the limited information, I'd guess someone picked the wrong guy so "they" had to find something.  On the flip side, if it were that big of deal, who reviewed the original citizenship file and didn't look at the guy's records history?  

 

Realizing this is an extreme case, but it does make one question how secure naturalized citizenship really is.  People are lead to believe it's the end of the road, but is it really?

I thought this was found on his original N-400.  I didn't get the impression that he was ever granted citizenship......unless I missed something.

Nope, I read it before I had coffee. 

 

Wonder who missed that with the permanent resident application.  It says he's been an LPR for 2 decades and the arrest was when he was a teenager.  Technically shouldn't have been granted LPR, either.

Good question.
