HOUSTON, TEXAS (BNO NEWS) – Three U.S. citizens and three Cambodian nationals were indicted with nine counts of conspiring to commit marriage fraud, benefit/visa fraud and passport fraud, U.S. Attorney Jose Angel Moreno announced on Friday.
The three detained Americans were identified as Julianne Garcia, 27, Helen Garcia, 64, and Michael Reese, 57. Lou Sou, 46, Sampher Thou, 35, and Jane Doe, also known as “Leaphiny Muth,” were the three Cambodian nationals involved in the fraudulent conspiracy. All six defendants are accused of conspiring to commit marriage fraud for the purpose of evading immigration laws and filing false documents to achieve their goals.
“The United States, a melting pot for immigrants from all corners of the world, continues to welcome legal immigration. It is illegal immigration, whether by illegal entry, overstay, or fraud, which cannot and will not be tolerated,” said Moreno.
