'I think that's going to be a problem for the government,' Bill Hing, an immigration law professor at the University of San Francisco, told Newsweek.
Jeremy McKinney, a Charlotte-based immigration lawyer and second vice president at the American Immigration Lawyer Association, toldthat the Michigan sting operation is the latest example of the Trump administration's"hostility towards international students."
Federal officials first set up Farmington University as part of the Department of Homeland Security's"Operation Paper Chase" in 2015. The operation was part of a broader crackdown on illegal immigration and visa fraud. Lawyers for the students arrested argue that they were unfairly duped by the government because the Department of Homeland Security listed the university as legitimate on its website. But ICE has maintained that the students were aware they wouldn't be attending a real school
"Their intent was to fraudulently maintain their student visa status and to obtain work authorization," authorities wrote in an indictment. The indictment was unsealed in January 2016. In this handout provided by Immigration and Customs Enforcement , Foreign nationals were arrested this week during a targeted enforcement operation conducted by ICE aimed at immigration fugitives, re-entrants and at-large criminal aliens February 9, 2017 in Atlanta, Georgia. This year, hundreds of foreign students were arrested at a fake university in Michigan that was created by ICE.The federal government also raked in millions of dollars in tuition.
