Gambian man denaturalized for allegedly concealing criminal history during naturalization
May 8, 2026 · Gambia

Baboucarr Mboob, a native of The Gambia, was targeted for denaturalization for concealing his participation in the execution of six military officers on November 11, 1994, while serving as a military police officer. Mboob entered the U.S. in 2002 and naturalized in 2011 without disclosing these war crimes, later admitting to the executions in 2019 testimony before The Gambian Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
