Attorney jailed for ‘large-scale’ immigration fraud on Caribbean immigrants

NEW YORK, CMC – A former immigration attorney has been sentenced to prison for 70 months for 'large-scale' immigration fraud on Caribbean and other immigrants.

Matthew Podolsky, acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said that 70-year-old Kofi Amankwaa was sentenced for immigration fraud in connection with his supervision of a multi-year scheme to file fraudulent immigration documents under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).

Podolsky said Amankwaa pleaded guilty before US District Judge Katherine Polk Failla, who imposed the sentence.
 
“Kofi Amankwaa, a former immigration attorney, made a mockery of the US immigration system and VAWA — a law that provides noncitizen victims of domestic abuse a path to lawful permanent residence status — by filing thousands of immigration documents falsely alleging that his clients were victims of abuse by their children or other family members,” Podolsky said.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
