DHS operated fake university in Michigan to apprehend undocumented immigrants
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said it operated a fake university in Michigan to target students who were undocumented immigrants, according to federal indictments unsealed on Wednesday.
The documents, reported by The Detroit Free Press, stated that eight people were arrested and indicted for conspiracy to commit visa fraud and harboring undocumented immigrants for profit.
Six people were arrested in Detroit, while the other two were taken into custody in Florida and Virginia, the Free Press reported. Prosecutors said students enrolled at the fake university to obtain jobs under a student visa program called CPT (Curricular Practical Training).
The indictment said the defendants aided at least 600 undocumented immigrants in illegally remaining, re-entering and working in the U.S. as part of a "pay to stay" scheme.
