Florida federal court revokes Milagros Acosta's citizenship
The ruling came one day after both sides asked the court to revoke her naturalization through a consent judgment.
Milagros Marileisis Acosta, 40, lost her U.S. citizenship through a federal judgment issued October 14, 2026. The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida revoked her naturalization, resolving a federal case that had sought that result.
The preceding step occurred October 13, when both parties jointly asked the court to approve a consent judgment revoking naturalization. The request came one day before the ruling. The U.S. Justice Department officially confirmed the judgment in a statement.
The case concerns a multimillion-dollar fraud at a Miami casino and a financial conspiracy. Cited court records say the scheme took about $5.3 million from the establishment using false credit vouchers. The available information does not break down individual transactions or the ultimate destination of the money.
Acosta became a U.S. citizen in 2015, when the available account says she was already involved in the financial conspiracy. That timing provides context for denaturalization, although it does not detail the investigation's start or the scheme's full duration.
Acosta's role involved transactions intended to conceal the money's illegal origin and avoid banking controls. The central resolution is revocation of citizenship: the parties requested a consent judgment October 13 and the court issued it the next day.
