The Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced a major crackdown on foreign students working at the Optional Practical Training program, along with their studies, and said they uncovered a major fraud going on with fake companies, non-existent companies giving OPT jobs to students. Immigration attorney Emily Neumann said what ICE described is very real. Empty buildings do get listed as worksites for hundreds of students, where no actual employees ever work.
Neumann said most companies do not indulge in these malpractices but now after the ICE announced this crackdown, they should be cautious that they are doing everything needful, as there will be more site visits.
