A 57-year-old Bangladeshi national was taken into custody at the Peace Bridge border crossing on Saturday after U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials discovered he had been previously charged with murder in 2004.
Md-Jamilur Rahman was attempting to enter Canada when he was denied admission by Canadian authorities and returned to the US. During further inspection, CBP officers determined that Rahman had used fraudulent means to gain entry into the US and failed to disclose his past criminal charge on his visa application.
According to Buffalo Port Director Gaetano Cordone, Rahman admitted to the omission during questioning. He was then turned over to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and is now being held at the Federal Detention Facility in Batavia.
Officials confirmed that Rahman is facing removal proceedings and will be deported to Bangladesh.
