Ten Chinese nationals and one other person have been indicted in a major nationwide sham marriage fraud case, U.S. Justice Department Attorney General Todd Blanche announced at a press conference on Wednesday. The defendants were charged with conspiring — for over a decade — to orchestrate more than 1,000 sham marriages to fraudulently obtain immigration status for foreign nationals who were mostly originating from China. “The defendants and their co-conspirators allegedly operated a nationwide and international, multimillion-dollar marriage fraud scheme, using participants to abuse United States immigration laws for their own profit,” U.S. Attorney Jamie McDonald said. "Today’s arrests have dismantled a central component of one of the largest marriage fraud schemes charged in United States history," McDonald added.
