According to the New York Post, Ndiaga Diagne, 53, a Senegalese national, arrived in the U.S. on March 13, 2000, on a B-2 tourist visa during the Clinton administration, a source familiar with his immigration history said.
He later became a lawful permanent resident in June 2006 after marrying a U.S. citizen.
Despite multiple arrests in New York City between 2001 and 2016 — including one for illegal vending — Diagne was naturalized as a U.S. citizen on April 5, 2013, during President Obama’s second term.
Sources noted that several of his arrests are sealed. Diagne was also arrested in Texas at an unspecified time and had a history of emotional instability, according to law enforcement.
In 2016, Diagne applied for asylum, though officials have not disclosed the purpose or outcome of that application.
