TUCSON, Ariz. – Last week, Mohamed Abdirahman Osman, aka, Mustaf Adan Arale, 29, of Mogadishu, Somalia, was sentenced to time served by District Court Judge Rosemary Marquez. Osman previously pleaded guilty to two felony counts of False Swearing in an Immigration Matter. Osman has been in custody for two years.
At the time of his refugee application, and again when seeking his permanent legal resident alien status, Osman failed to disclose to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that he also used another identity. Osman admitted that he knew that if he had disclosed the true information, he would have been denied entry into the United States.
“We will do everything we can to preserve the integrity of the refugee application process in the United States,” said United States Attorney Michael Bailey. “There are individuals throughout the world who are being persecuted and seeking status in the United States. Osman undermined the system and those individuals with valid claims by lying his way into receiving entry.”
As a result of his convictions, Osman’s refugee status was revoked and a Judicial Order of Removal was issued requiring Osman be removed to Somalia. On August 28, 2020, Osman boarded a flight from Arizona to return to Somalia. Osman is prohibited from returning to the United States without proper legal authority.
“Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) is committed to thoroughly investigate those who seek to undermine our nation’s security by compromising the integrity of our immigration laws,” said Scott Brown, special agent in charge for HSI Phoenix. “This case is a perfect example of how HSI and other federal agencies work together to combat those trying to defraud the government. We will continue to work closely with our law enforcement partners to hold those involved of these types of criminal schemes accountable.”
“USCIS is proud to play a critical role in preserving our nation’s rich history of lawful immigration,” said USCIS Tucson Field Office Director Julie Hashimoto. “Thus, we have a responsibility to protect the integrity of the system. This conviction demonstrates the severe consequences for using false information in order to gain an immigration benefit.”
The Federal Bureau of Investigation, HSI, and USCIS investigated this matter. Beverly K. Anderson, Assistant United States Attorney, handled the prosecution.

Send a copy of this news item to Ilhan Omar.
Ilhan Nur Said Elmi did the same thing, when do we deport her?
Is that Omar woman next?
“...Ilhan Nur Said Elmi did the same thing, when do we deport her?...”
Not soon enough. Should have happened right after she pulled the stunt.
I was hopin it was that snake when I read the headline. Dang.
Huh.
When I copied and pasted Ilhan Nur Said Elmi into a search engine, I came up with a page full of references to Ilhan Omar - including a box on the right indicating that it was from Wiki.
But when you click on that box, Wiki doesn’t seem to know who this person is...unless you put in her suggested name of Ilhan Abdullahi Omar.
Must read link: German “humanitarian” learns truths about Muslims.......to her infinite regret.
BTW, she mentions Muslim Somali refugees as the worst of the worst.
She enumerates all the negatives we’ve observed for years.
Too bad she got woked the hard way....thru horrendous personal experiences.
Nice sleuthing.
I’m not really into that stuff; but I do get pissed when I’m denied information by some pompous, biased - (or just spineless) - interest that arbitrarily decides for all of us what IS of interest.
Hope to have more of your insights.
I was so hoping it was her.
That was quite a read. So many parallels to us. I was given to understand that any speaking out against Muslims/refugees could land you in legal trouble in Germany (Sommer alludes to this in the interview), so I’m wondering how she continues to work in the humanitarian field. She was more than blunt.
