Black Urban Times Staff Report
Customs agents at the Newark Liberty International Airport intercepted a woman using the passport and visa of a deceased woman from her native country in order to enter into the United States last week.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents were notified by the flight crew that a female passenger was in need of emergency medical assistance. When the agents arrived, they found Norah Kaneza of Burundi, East Africa.
Customs officials did not release the nature of Kaneza's medical emergency.
Kaneza produced a passport and visa with the name Madina Nahimana on it. Agents escorted Kaneza to the medical facility where a fingerprint check was administered revealing her as Norah Kaneza.
Through a Swahili translator, Kaneza admitted she had acquired the passport and visa of the 50-year-old woman from her country after she recently died. Agents did not reveal whether Kaneza stole the documents.
Kaneza, 47, was deported back to Burundi on Saturday. Her illegal entry into the United States carries a five-year ban from re-entry to the U.S.
