Five Former Consul Workers Charged In Deportation Scam
Five Former Consul Workers Charged In Deportation Scam
The scheme was designed to take advantage of a US law that requires Immigration and Customs Enforcement to release convicted criminals after they've served their sentence. US law permits ICE to hold convicted non-citizens for only six months past their prison release date if deportation is unlikely. The letters were issued to persons who had been convicted of serious crimes including murder and attempted murder. Federal officials have been able to identify some of the recipients of the bogus letters and indicated that they could face additional federal charges and deportation.
