Moroccan american officer faces deportation after applying for naturalization

Other stupid cases like that have happened. When they can't catch illegal aliens, they occupy their time by harassing good people on a technicality. For example, this British guy was deported in 2002 for overstaying his visa by one day on a trip in 1997.

However, it is possible that the case you mentioned above has some merit. If he obtained a green card via marriage, and that same marriage was then annulled, his basis for having a green card also becomes null and void.

Yes, I agree that he was in the wrong regarding the annulled marriage part. But they seem to be going just by the book and not looking at his record the years after the green card, especially his combat. I think it's a waste of resources to be doing this to someone while at the same time they are talking about undocumented aliens being a big problem..
 
It seems there is more against this guy than what was said in the original link at the top of this thread:

O'Connell says in November 2002 and January 2003, Benkabbou applied to marry two other Florida women, but never did. Then, in September 2003, Benkabbou became a bigamist, when he wed a woman from Maryland.

"He never got divorced from the first wife before he became married to the fourth applicant, or the fourth wife," O'Connell said.

It was the fourth marriage that Benkabbou used to get "conditional resident status" and join the U. S. Army in June 2004. At Fort Bragg Benkabbou was an E-4 paratrooper with B Company, working in supply areas with a solider's (sic) access to some sensitive areas on the base.

oh wow, i wasn't aware of this! Well, this definitely changes the complexion of this case. He seems to have some pretty wierd history - I thought it was cut and dried but guess not.
