The two immigration lawyers imported Pakistani migrants through fraud.
The Department of Justice recently charged two Pakistani lawyers in Texas with money laundering, visa fraud, conspiracy to defraud the United States, and Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (RICO) conspiracy. The charges were filed after an FBI investigation into a smuggling network.
According to the indictment, the two men, Abdul Hadi Murshid and Muhammad Salman Nasir, opened a company that posted fraudulent job listings to bring visa seekers to the United States. This allowed their company to appear as though it was legitimately seeking applications from all U.S. residents before removing the job listing and “hiring” foreign nationals to give them work visas through the Labor Department. The suspects allegedly ran this scheme for four years.
“These defendants are charged with engaging in extensive measures to hide a massive, multi-year, immigration fraud scheme through which they reaped substantial personal financial gain,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Chad Meacham. “Pursuing criminal charges to deter and punish this type of flagrant disregard for the lawful immigration process is a top priority of this Office.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For U.S. attorneys and Justice Department officials as they prosecute immigration fraud and organized criminal activity.
- For Director Kash Patel and FBI agents as they conduct investigations into money laundering, smuggling, and fraud.
