A graduate of William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul has pleaded guilty in federal court to impersonating a U.S. congressman in a failed attempt to obtain visas for several people from his homeland of Cameroon.
Njock Eyong, 27, entered the plea Thursday in the District of Columbia to two counts of impersonating a federal official and one count of visa fraud.
Eyong will have his asylum status revoked and has agreed to be deported, according to the U.S. attorney's office in Washington.
During the summer and early fall of 2003, Eyong was an intern for Rep. Donald Payne, D-N.J. Eyong admitted Thursday that while working in Payne's office, he faxed documents on the congressman's official stationery to U.S. Embassy officials in Frankfurt, Germany, and Yaounde, Cameroon, asking them to issue immigration documents for 10 people in his native Cameroon.
The faxed documents, purportedly from Payne, stated that the congressman was formally inviting the Cameroon natives to attend meetings of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Inc. Eyong also admitted that when immigration officials refused to issue visas, he called the consulates and complained, supposedly on the congressman's behalf.
In addition, Eyong admitted to sending a letter on the congressman's stationery to the U.S. embassy in Berlin, asking that a man named Oben Tabi Eyong - purportedly Njock Eyong's brother - be allowed to attend Eyong's gradu
