Sounds like a huge waste of taxpayers money. I wonder what this particular scheme cost us.

it seems like "Hank Hill buying crack because he thinks it's fishing bait" level of naivete imo, borders on unbelievable. who signs up for a graduate program in another country and then travels across the planet without even so much as enrolling in a single course? cmon


Individuals who don't have much money and are desperate to improve their standing in life due to issues in their own home town?

Regardless if you believe them or not, that doesn't excuse the actions taken here, nor does it make up for ICE stealing these people's money and threatening them with mob like intimation.

Who gives out a visa to someone just to encourage them to come to a fake school across the planet?

someone who wants to make money scamming the system, per wikipedia the school charged "students" $8.5k a year to enroll there

these guys werent even enrolling in classes, tbh i fail to see how this is any different than an undercover cop posing as a prostitute or hitman. i think ppl are blowing this out of proportion because ICE is on everyone's hate radar these days (and rightfully so, generally speaking)

Not to victim blame but did the students do no research on their school before applying? When I went to college I tried to see the history of the school graduation rate, what school system it was in, etc. Like how you fall into a fake school.

If you're charging a low rate to entice students then the people you're likely targeting are those who already live in poverty, like the majority of the Indian population does, and that has limited access to the internet, which itself is already heavily censored. Doing research on scams that are being specifically marketed towards you is something people always have struggled with, and the more vulnerable you are the less likely you are to notice.

I'm out of the loop since i'm a US citizen but I lived in poverty I got financial aid that covered my tuition. Do immigrants not get that?

Why were visas granted if it was a fake school? Doesn't the visa department have to check and approve?

ICE is the gestapo and every single person within the agency is guilty of human rights violations and should face capital punishment.

It's not entrapment when the vast majority of enrollees as well as all of the recruiters (who were also completely unaware that the government was running a sting op because all they saw was $$$) were fully aware that the college was a fake when they enrolled (let's not pretend that these kinds of scam colleges don't exist outside the government either).

Only a slim minority of enrollees were apparently unwitting when they first signed up because they completely missed or ignored the bright neon red flags that the college was not what it appeared to be (and only a few of those tried to transfer out after they realized what was going on because there were no actual classes to attend when classes "started").

I'm so confused so please correct me if I'm wrong on any points since y'know, Irish
So ICE is a government run agency, right?
They set up a fake university as a sting operation to catch illegals I assume.
All good.
But they... got foreign students to register, come to the US and then proceeded to deport them when the fake university was closed?

ICE is our special Gestapo. Aren't we lucky?

There's not a single good person at ICE. They're basically the american gestapo.

It really needs to be abolished.

For those who agree with ICE ITT, how would you identify a new legit school that has no previous history vs this fake one?

You see maps, it is probably a pic a new construction (outdated) so perhaps that is the new school, you look for reviews and see none (not even bad ones) so again it probably is a new school. Then you see it is accredited by an existing legit school so that at least tell you it is not completely fake.

It is not like you can physically go to the school (since you dont have a VISA and probably dont have money either for making a trip just to see if the school exists).

On top of that you apply for a VISA and it gets approved, which means someone from the USA government should have gone a verified this school was legit otherwise they would have rejected your visa.

Then you come to the USA and realize this is fake, now you are on your own to try to figure out how to transfer out of it and get your money back, which takes money for a lawyer and time. Too bad you dont have either as you were scammed and your VISA is now invalid.

There's only one question that ever needs to be asked if everything else looks fine on the surface to weed out fake colleges from real ones: "is regular attendance necessary to succeed at this college?" If the answer is anything other than yes, it's best to keep looking. These fake colleges all have one thing in common: there are no classes to attend and foreign students join them to take advantage of Curricular Practical Training (CPT) which allows them to work part time off campus.
