Federal authorities just announced a massive bust targeting a Chinese transnational criminal organization. They were paying off US service members to enter sham marriages and, incredibly, trying to secure unauthorized access to military installations.
The Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Task Force in Jacksonville, Florida, recently revealed the details of this multijurisdictional enforcement operation focused entirely on sophisticated marriage fraud. According to Newsweek, U.S. Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe unsealed a three-count indictment on February 4, charging 11 individuals for their roles in a scheme that ran from March 2024 to February 2025.
