How the US government created a fake university to snare immigrant students [View all]
Court documents reveal stunning scheme used to trap 161 foreign nationals; Ice maintains the students knew the school was fake.
The University of Farmington website described a college that would prepare students to succeed in an ever-globalizing economy. Students would show up at campus wearing backpacks and asking questions about classes. The US government listed Farmington as eligible to enroll foreign students. The school president, whose LinkedIn page is still online, sent emails to students describing his institution as a nationally accredited institution authorized to enroll international students.
But it was all a sham to snare immigrants.
Court documents unsealed last month unveiled a stunning scheme by the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to create a fake university with no classes or professors, just a staff of undercover agents who went on to build a case that has seen 161 foreign nationals arrested.
