SUBJECT: CONCURRENCE FOR INVESTIGATIVE ASSISTANCE
BY RSO NOUKCHOTT
SENSITIVE
1. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Attache,
Paris, France requests the assistance of the Regional Security
Office, Nouakchott, Mauritania in support of the investigation of
Samba SALL, an asylee in the U.S. who may have misrepresented his
former occupation in Mauritania. If these misrepresentations are
proven, SALL may be subject to removal/deportation proceedings in
the U.S.
2. SALL is identified as follows:
NAME: Samba SALL
DOB: 03/04/1947
POB: Kaedi, Mauritania
SEX: Male
A# : 075 259 380
3. Samba SALL entered the United States without inspection and was
granted asylum by an immigration judge on 05/21/2003. SALL then
filed an application to adjust status to permanent residence (Form
I-485). During his adjustment interview with Citizenship and
Immigration Services on 05/08/2007, SALL claimed to have been a
farmer in Mauritania. However, the interviewing officer developed
information indicating that SALL may have been a Police Commissioner
in Mauritania.
4. In furtherance of this investigation, it is respectfully
requested that the RSO Nouakchott attempt to determine if Samba SALL
was indeed employed as a Police Commissioner, or as a public
official in any capacity while residing in Mauritania. DS/CR/CIL
concurrence for assistance is respectfully requested.
5. Digital images and additional identifiers relating to SALL can
be provided to post under separate cover.
6. Please reference ICE Attache Paris case number PA17G408CU0003 in
any correspondence.
