  • Salim Germany 1 day ago

    The officer might be mixing up or contradicting things because we do know that Ken ofori Atta left ghana in 4th January 2025 and not 28May 2025, we saw his supposed medical report in February last year. So which is which?

    Snr ignore them all and go to ICE Website to get a verifying statement from them

  • Kwaku 21 hours ago

    You are right. I have commented on same at the bottom. However, suspect that Ofori-Atta might have left the US along the line snd re-entered on May 28, 2025. The officer may be referring to his most recent entry into the US.
