Q: I am being stalked/harrassed by an immigrant from Iraq, who lied to ICE to get in. how can I get copies of his IOM docs?
an Iraqi man is stalking me after I told him I was not interested in dating him. I helped him with immigration papers, and later I discovered he lied about details on his papers. He has threatened me and my family, but I am unsafe until he is stopped. I want to get his papers to prove he lied, so he can be deported and me and my family an be safe. how do I do this?
A: My recommendation is to contact the police and press charges. If he is arrested, local law enforcement will notify Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) if he does not have legal status. Even he he has legal status (unless he is a USC), certain criminal convictions could cause him to be placed in removal proceedings. You can contact ICE to let them know you believe someone obtained an immigration benefit by fraud, but with such a backlog of cases already in the system, they are not likely to start an investigation just based on that. You are not going to be able to access any of his immigration records yourself, so you will have to work through one of those agencies. But filing criminal charges would be my recommended action.
