Dozen Arrested for Organizing Fake Marriages to Obtain 'Green Cards'
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The Department of Justice has charged nearly a dozen individuals involved in a multimillion-dollar scheme to help hundreds of Chinese nationals fraudulently obtain green cards through fake marriages with U.S. citizens. Americans received payments of up to $30,000 to enter into these sham marriages, while the accused charged up to $100,000 for each green card, generating tens of millions over a decade. Authorities believe the group orchestrated over 1,000 fake weddings, marking it as one of the largest marriage fraud cases in U.S. history. The 11 defendants face formal charges in New York, but it is unclear if they have legal representation.
