ICE Arrests Illegal Aliens Working At Army Special Ops School

Raleigh, N.C.—ICE agents arrested two Indonesian nationals and a Senegalese national who were working as contract language instructors at the Army Special Operations Command Center (ASOC) within the U.S. Army Reservation at Fort Bragg, N.C.

Nurkis Qadariah, a 34-year-old native of Indonesia, and Sayf Rimal, a 37-year-old native of Indonesia, were arrested October 4 on federal charges of possessing and using false documents and making false statements.

Qadariah and Rimal used counterfeit Resident Alien Cards and made false statements under penalty of perjury that they were Lawful Permanent Residents of the United States in order to gain employment at Fort Bragg, providing contract language instruction services to U.S. Special Forces and other U.S. military personnel at the ASOC at Fort Bragg.

ICE agents also arrested Ousmane Moreau, a 38-year-old native of Senegal, October 3 in connection with the same investigation. Moreau was charged with being in the United States illegally. He will be placed in removal proceedings.

“Unauthorized workers who use fraudulent documents to gain work at sensitive U.S. military installations pose a serious homeland security threat. Not only are their identities in question, but they are also vulnerable to potential exploitation by terrorists and other criminals given their illegal status in this country. Furthermore, these individuals have access to some of the most sensitive worksites in the nation,” said ICE Charlotte Assistant Special Agent-in-Charge Jeff Jordan.

The three arrests were the result of a joint investigation by ICE, the Defense Criminal Investigative Service, the U.S. Army Criminal Investigative Division, and Fort Bragg security officials. The investigation continues.

The arrests are the latest in ICE’s effort to target and remove illegal aliens working at sensitive sites and critical infrastructure locations around the nation, including airports, seaports, nuclear plants, chemical plants, and defense facilities. In accordance with ICE’s homeland security mission, ICE special agents prioritize worksite enforcement efforts by focusing on investigations related to critical infrastructure and national security. As part of this effort, ICE agents continue to focus attention on facilities and companies that provide illegal contract employees to work on U.S. military bases and on U.S. military products.
