An immigration attorney in Illinois caught in a fraud operation making tens of thousands of foreigners eligible for citizenship who were ineligible
With the money she bought
- A pink private jet
- $3 million dollar condo in Chicago
- $3.2 million luxury condo in Seattle
- Properties in Mexico
- Multiple other home purchases
“Calling herself the miracle lawyer, when in fact she was charging some vulnerable clients tens of thousands of dollars to file falsified immigration papers under the Violence Against Women Act, or alleging her clients were victims of human trafficking regardless of whether they qualified for that relief according to the complaint”
She was telling foreigners to claim they were victims of human trafficking and violence so they could get asylum and citizenship in America
The numbers are actually higher than what’s being reported
She had as many as 35,000 clients and around 54,000 pending petitions with her signature
Clients were allegedly charged high fees of $10,000–$25,000 per case, sometimes more
She had an estimated up to $400 million in promised payments from clients
