Eleven people in California have been indicted on charges of running a large-scale marriage fraud “agency” that arranged hundreds of sham marriages in order for undocumented immigrants to obtain green cards, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Boston said Thursday.

The Los Angeles-based operation arranged phony marriages and submitted fraudulent immigration documents for at least 400 clients between October 2016 and March 2022, charging the newlywed clients between $20,000 to $30,000 in cash, according to the indictment.

“Marriage fraud is a serious crime that threatens the integrity of our nation’s lawful immigration system,” U.S. Attorney Rachael S. Rollins said. “These defendants’ alleged exploitation of this system for profit is an affront to our nation’s tradition of welcoming immigrants and prospective citizens."

Uhh, Ms. Rollins; if you're looking for an affront to our nation's lawful immigration system, have you checked out the Southern Border recently?
