NY-AG v. Kofi Amankwaa

Kofi Amankwaa and others allegedly ran an illegal scheme that scammed hundreds of vulnerable immigrants into paying thousands of dollars for fraudulent services that caused many to be deported or have their green card applications denied, according to NY-AG. From 2018 through 2023, Amankwaa and the other defendants allegedly charged immigrant clients thousands of dollars to submit paperwork on their behalf to secure green cards for their clients, according to NY-AG. Amankwaa and the other defendants were allegedly submitting separate petitions falsely claiming that their children were abusing them, according to NY-AG. As a result, several of their clients were deported while others were denied their green cards, according to NY-AG.
