An Education as Cold as ICE
This is a Must-Read story. The short version is that ICE set up a fake university to lure foreign students, and just arrested 250 of them and so far deported 90. No, really.
What's ludicrous about this story (beyond being sick) is that the government lured foreign students on student visas to the fake school until their visas expired just so they could send them back!
A question: Will students not arrested and just caught up in the scam get their money back? Because millions of dollars were taken in. Since that would mean vulnerable (and now probably terrified) people suing the U.S. government, my guess is that they're out their money.
P.S. On the positive side, it's worth noting that 7 of the 8 RECRUITERS were arrested and have pleaded guilty!
You can read the full, galling story here from the Detroit Free Press. Highly recommended.
