He should get the maximum sentence x 20, served consecutively.

Plenty of people knew he was signing this documents. Every one of them should be charged as well.

And the people he violated should be given citizenship, along with any family members.

If only America is a racist ass country. This mfer will probably get the lightest sentence that they can give. His bond of 5000 for 20 felonies is already a horrible joke.

Nah, he'll walk. I have zero faith in our "judicial" system around this subject.

Should have used "forged" in the title instead of "faked".

Michael Diehl, 40, a former Guilford County detention officer, now faces 20 felony counts of common law forgery.

I don't understand why this is only forgery charges and not kidnapping.

Because cops are complicit, DAs are complicit.
