Faustin Nsabumukunzi, a man who lived undercover as a beekeeper in New York for two decades, was arrested for lying about his role in the 1994 Rwandan genocide to obtain a green card. Prosecutors charged him with visa fraud and attempted naturalization fraud, facing a potential 30-year prison sentence. Despite pleading not guilty and posting bond, Nsabumukunzi's immigration history is marred by his continuous denial of any involvement in acts of violence during the genocide, contradicting eyewitness accounts that label him as a local leader with considerable influence in the atrocities committed against the Tutsi minority.
"For over two decades, he got away with those lies and lived in the United States with an undeserved clean slate, a luxury that his victims will never have."
"Nsabumukunzi applied for refugee resettlement in the United States in 2003, where he repeatedly denied in an immigration interview that he had committed acts of violence or encouraged others to participate in violence during the genocide."
