Phony ICE-Run University Trap Continues Unabated

Reddy added the U.S. government "made a lot of money," about $12,000 a year, off tuition and fees.

As the Detroit Free Press reported:

"Some had transferred to the University of Farmington from other schools that had lost accreditation, which means they would no longer be in immigration status and allowed to remain in the U.S."

Although ICE has been operating with virtual impunity since Donald Trump took office, its college trap scheme actually began in 2013.

Established in 2016, the "University of Northern New Jersey" promised that for $4,500 a semester, students could remain in the U.S.

At the time the story broke about it in April that year, 21 brokers and middlemen had been indicted for conspiracy to commit visa fraud.

Eight recruiters were indicted this January for preying on at least 600 immigrant students.

According to the Detroit Free Press, no one has filed a lawsuit or claim against the U.S. government.

Donald Trump is on a mission to erase the legacy of the country's first African American president.

Ironically, he will take credit for positive gains in the economy and culture without acknowledging Obama's hand in them.

But when it comes to something embarrassing, exploitative, and/or inhumane, such as this, instead of working to correct it, Trump just blames it on Obama and doubles down.

Trump could easily have reigned-in ICE and put a stop to this, but that would contradict his Draconian immigration policy.

In the two and half years since Trump promised his Gestapo deportation force, ICE has started using DNA testing technology to identify migrants posing as families in order to gain entry to the United States at seven locations along the U.S./Mexico Southern border.

It is been mining without warrants or subpoenas millions of Utah,New York, Vermont, and Washington drivers' license photos for possible facial recognition matches in an attempt to ensnare undocumented immigrants.

It has stalked immigrants in human trafficking court.

It has led to several asylum seekers' deaths in its custody.
