SURGANOVA v. HOLDER
ANTONINA SURGANOVA, Petitioner,
v.
ERIC H. HOLDER, JR., Attorney General of the United States, Respondent.
No. 08-1512.
United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.
Argued October 6, 2009.
Decided July 20, 2010.
Before BAUER, WOOD, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.
WOOD, Circuit Judge.
Beginning in the late 1990's, an unlikely cast of characters assembled in Northwest Chicago and played out a tumultuous drama, which culminated in the Department of Homeland Security's initiation of removal proceedings against Antonina Surganova in 2004. Surganova, a 58-year-old Lithuanian native and Ukrainian citizen, had succeeded in changing her immigration status to that of a lawful permanent resident upon her marriage to Joseph Beaudion, a U.S. citizen, in April 2001. But, the government learned, things were not as they seemed. Working on a tip from Surganova's former son-in-law, Department of Homeland Security ("DHS") charged Surganova with removability on the ground that she had procured the adjustment in her immigration status through marriage fraud. See 8 U.S.C. §§ 1182(a)(6)(C)(I) and 1277(a)(1)(A).
