Verification of Canadian citizenship
Subj is currently in custody of ICE in Eloy, AZ. Deportation Officer Acosta called LNGLS to verify if his Canadian ppt
was valid. Subj is claiming to be a US citizen.
PPCI: Please provide ppt microfiche for VJ861088, issued Dec. 18/2003 in Hull so that we can verify if it is the same person. Merci.

Investigation in US
Please be aware that subj is currently being held by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Eloy, AZ for falsely claiming to be a US citizen.
The ICE officer who called me wanted me to verify that he was issued the Canadian passport, thus that he is a Canadian citizen.
I told him that I cannot verify information for him, or sign any affadavits attesting to his Canadian citizenship which will lead to his criminal conviction in the US. I referred him to his DHS counterparts in Washington who deal with Canada Border Services agency and the RCMP in cross border investigations.
For your heads up, in case you are asked by ICE for similar verification.
Officer Acosta's e-mail address is: keith.acosta@dhs.gov
