11 arrested in US over alleged sham marriage scheme

WASHINGTON: Eleven people were arrested on Wednesday for allegedly organizing hundreds of sham marriages for foreigners seeking US residency, mostly Chinese nationals, officials said. “This is one of the largest marriage fraud prosecutions in United States history,” Attorney General Todd Blanche said at a press conference in Washington. “Not only are we protecting our physical borders from unlawful crossings, but we are also preventing immigration fraud schemes that are just another way to skirt the immigration laws of the United States,” Blanche said.
