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 that helped hundreds of Chinese citizens fraudulently obtain green cards through fake marriages with U.S. citizens. Americans were reportedly paid up to $30,000 to enter into these sham marriages, while the accused charged up to $100,000 for each green card. Authorities believe over 1,000 fake weddings were organized over a decade, making it one of the largest marriage fraud cases in U.S. history. The defendants face formal charges in New York, but it remains unclear if they have legal representation.
