Eleven illegal aliens are accused of falsely claiming to be United States citizens and committing document fraud.
According to the Department of Justice, between September 10 and 22, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the United States Marshals Service (USMS) arrested 11 illegal aliens charged with Possession of Identification Document to Defraud the United States, Possession of Identification Document Produced Without Lawful Authority, and False Attestation for Employment Eligibility Verification, all felony offenses.
Each illegal alien who was charged possessed and used a counterfeit state identification card or driver’s license, as well as a counterfeit Social Security card, to obtain employment at a business in Arizona. The illegal aliens also falsely attested on Form I-9 to being United States citizens or to being otherwise authorized to work in the United States, when in fact none of them were United States citizens or authorized to work in the United States.
These cases are part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative charged with repelling the invasion of illegal immigration and the the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs).
