ICE Created A Fake University To Trick Indian Immigrant Students And Arrest Them
Emails revealed this week show how the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) set up a fictitious school called the “University of Farmington” to detect student visa fraud.
The “university,” which began “admitting” applicants in 2015, involved a total of at least 600 students.
On Jan. 30, the sting operation was disclosed to the public, including the arrest of eight Indian recruiters who were charged of faking visas and harboring aliens for profit.
Additionally, a total of 146 students were arrested — 145 Indians and one Palestinian.
