A Florida woman is facing charges for allegedly submitting a fake asylum application. Prosecutors say she provided false information on immigration documents. The case comes as the government ramps up efforts to tighten screening for immigration applications.
Andrea C. Correa, 37, from Sunrise, Florida, filed an asylum application claiming her client was a victim of political persecution—even though the client had told her that wasn't true. Despite knowing this, Correa went ahead and prepared the application and sent it to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
