Catching the Cheaters

Power Line's John Hinderaker often plugs Alpha News as the only reliable news source in his home state of Minnesota. Here Alpha reports on a coordinated sweep of immigration fraud cases in the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul area, done by USCIS, ICE, and FBI working together.

The Feds looked at 1000 cases which had come to official attention in some fashion. USCIS Director Edlow announced:

Our officers encountered blatant marriage fraud, visa overstays, people claiming to work at businesses that can’t be found, forged documents, abuse of the H1-B visa system, abuse of the F-1 visas, and many other discrepancies.

According to Edlow, authorities found indications of fraud, noncompliance, or public safety concerns in 275 cases.

As we work to undo the neglect of the Biden Administration, we will continue to launch operations like this across the country. Operation Twin Shield was a major enforcement operation and we will be bringing many more efforts like this to cities across the country.

Imagine how much immigration fraud and abuse there is nationwide, if a sweep of metro MN netted 275. We're looking at tens of thousands, at a minimum.
