Federal prosecutors have arraigned four people in New Jersey, with a fifth at large in Colombia
Four people were arraigned on Saturday in New Jersey for allegedly posing as immigration attorneys and officials to scam immigrants, the justice department said.
Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn, New York, who announced the arrests on Friday, said the group pretended to run a law firm, and staged fake court proceedings, in an elaborate scheme to defraud people seeking legal help for their immigration cases.
According to prosecutors, who charged five people in total, the accused made more than $100,000, with “tens of thousands” of it laundered to other co-conspirators in Colombia.
Nothing better than preying on those who least deserve it and who can least afford it. :sigh:
That’s Capitalism, baby!
I’m surprised the Grifter-in-chief hasn’t pardoned them on the spot. Or maybe he is jealous that these guys can screw over immigrants more effectively than ICE can…
He got his cut.
At least one of the co-conspirators is apparently in Colombia, so my guess is they aren’t white.
