Undercover ICE Operation Entrapped Students at Fake University w/ Niraj Warikoo & Anna Nathanson
A recent Federal Appeals Court ruling allows students to sue the U.S. government for luring them to Farmington University, a fake institution that Immigration and Customs Enforcement incorporated in 2016, apparently to entrap international students who arrived legally in the U.S. on F-1 visas in an illegal “pay-to-stay” scheme. In the process, after collecting around six million dollars of student tuition, federal agents arrested at least 250 of the students who had enrolled at the fake university, which had a real campus as well as real accreditation obtained wrongfully. We review the legal case with Anna Nathanson, Associate Attorney with the Norris Law Group who represented the students who sued the U.S. along with Niraj Warikoo, a reporter for the Detroit Free Press who has been covering this story since he broke it in 2019.
