共和党国会议员奇普·罗伊讨论了涉及10名印度籍公民的惊人签证欺诈计划，这些人通过伪造武装抢劫来钻移民法的空子。罗伊提出《暂停法案》以临时全面暂停移民，称美国历史上外国出生居民数量创历史新高。他抨击参议院推迟《拯救美国法案》，主张在对外国籍人士的担忧日益加剧之际，立即采取立法行动改革移民体系。

伊利诺伊州一名“头目”已被判刑，另有数名嫌疑人被指控，该团伙参与了一起大范围的阴谋，通过帮助非公民申请专门用于协助执法的犯罪受害者签证，欺诈联邦移民体系。
伊利诺伊州的帕思·纳伊于周四被判处两年联邦监禁，原因是他参与了芝加哥及周边小商家和餐馆的数百起伪造武装抢劫，并协助“指导”这些所谓“受害者”申请U签证以换取现金。
“[纳伊]是主要组织者，几乎所有数百起伪造抢劫案的核心人物。[该]被告严重破坏了联邦U签证项目，该项目旨在为一个特别弱势的群体提供福利——即在美国境内遭受严重犯罪的外国籍人士，”联邦助理检察官萨基布·穆罕默德·侯赛因在该案的量刑备忘录中写道。

检察官称，数千名伪装成犯罪受害者的人向纳伊支付费用参与该计划。
同案嫌疑人比卡巴伊·帕特尔、尼莱什·帕特尔、拉维娜本·帕特尔和拉吉尼库马尔·帕特尔联系纳伊，伪装成伪造抢劫的受害者，以便申请U签证——该签证是2000年通过的法律设立的，旨在保护人口贩卖受害者和“受虐移民女性”。
参与制定U签证的打击人口贩卖立法的主要发起人、新泽西州共和党众议员克里斯托弗·史密斯对该项目的涉嫌滥用表示愤怒。
“任何参与签证欺诈或伪造声明以获取任何政府福利的人都应受到法律的最严厉起诉，若罪名成立，必须入狱，”史密斯周二对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。
“滥用旨在帮助人口贩卖受害者的项目尤其可耻——这些人往往是女性和儿童，他们与警方合作，努力从极端创伤中恢复。我们必须追究滥用职权的罪犯的责任。”
检察官称，纳伊和另一名嫌疑人基翁·杨招募人员担任武装“劫匪”，有时会“击打所谓的受害者，让伪造的抢劫看起来真实”。
纳伊和同案嫌疑人基翁·杨组织并参与了商店和杂货店的伪造抢劫。
“抢劫”结束后，所谓的受害者将接受指导，向执法部门提交I-918补充表格，以便当局证明他们是暴力犯罪的受害者，可以申请U签证。
随后将向美国公民及移民服务局（USCIS）提交I-918表格，申请美国的受保护法律身份。
检察官称，所谓的受害者向纳伊支付最高3万美元参与伪造抢劫。其中一起抢劫案中，一名商店员工被一名涉嫌袭击者的枪击击中，伤势危急。

据《芝加哥西部网》报道，2023年7月芝加哥一家酒类商店的“抢劫”中，一名涉嫌袭击者意外开枪，“严重”击伤一名员工。该媒体称，作案人员随后乘坐被盗车辆逃离。
福克斯新闻数字频道联系了芝加哥市长布兰登·约翰逊和伊利诺伊州州长JB·普里茨克，请其置评。
约翰逊多次抨击联邦移民执法，尤其是在特朗普政府时期，将其行动比作仿佛“南方邦联赢得”内战的美国。
比卡巴伊·帕特尔涉嫌于2023年在芝加哥一家唐恩都乐门店伪装成受害者，之后提交虚假U签证申请。
拉维娜本·帕特尔涉嫌在第二家唐恩都乐门店伪装成受害者，并就该事件提交虚假警方报告。
2024年的起诉书确定了该计划使用的十多个地点，包括伊利诺伊州以外的商家，如路易斯安那州的一家赛百味餐厅和田纳西州中部的一个卡车停靠站。

Hundreds of staged armed robberies helped thousands pose as crime victims in US immigration scam: DOJ
Parth Nayi received two years in federal prison after thousands of noncitizens paid up to $30,000 each to participate

Republican Congressman Chip Roy discusses the alarming visa fraud scheme involving 10 Indian nationals who staged armed robberies to exploit immigration laws. Roy introduces the PAUSE Act to temporarily halt all immigration, citing the highest number of foreign-born residents in US history. He slams the Senate for stalling the Save America Act, advocating for immediate legislative action to reform the immigration system amidst rising concerns about foreign nationals.

A “ringleader” has been sentenced and several other suspects charged in Illinois in connection with a widespread conspiracy to defraud the federal immigration system by helping noncitizens seek visa protections reserved for crime victims who assist law enforcement.
Parth Nayi of Illinois was sentenced Thursday to two years in federal prison for participating in hundreds of staged armed robberies at small businesses and eateries in and around Chicago and helping “coach” the supposed ” victims” through plans to apply for U visas in exchange for cash.
“[Nayi] was the main organizer and at the center of almost every single one of the hundreds of staged robberies that were perpetrated. [The] defendant significantly corrupted the federal U-Visa program, designed to provide a benefit to a particularly vulnerable group—foreign nationals who are victims of serious crimes while visiting the United States,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Saqib Mohammad Hussain wrote in the case’s sentencing memo.

Thousands of people posing as crime victims paid Nayi to participate in the scheme, prosecutors said.
Alleged co-conspirators Bhikhabhai Patel, Nilesh Patel, Ravinaben Patel and Rajnikumar Patel reached out to Nayi to pose as victims of the staged robberies so they could apply for U visas, which were created under a 2000 law meant to protect trafficking victims and “battered immigrant women.”
Rep. Christopher Smith, R.N.J., lead sponsor of the anti-trafficking legislation that created the U visa, expressed outrage over the alleged abuse of the program.
“Anyone who engages in visa fraud or falsifies claims to obtain any government benefit should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and if guilty, jailed,” Smith told Fox News Digital on Tuesday.
“It is especially egregious to abuse a program designed to help victims of human trafficking — often women and children — who are cooperating with police and are working to recover from their extraordinary trauma. We must hold abusive criminals accountable.”
Prosecutors said Nayi and another suspect, Kewon Young, recruited people to serve as armed “robbers” who at times “struck purported victims to make the staged robbery appear real.”
Nayi and alleged co-conspirator Kewon Young organized and participated in staged robberies of shops and bodegas.
After the “robberies,” the purported victims would be coached to submit I-918 supplements to law enforcement so authorities could certify that they had been victims of a violent crime and could seek U visas.
An I-918 form would then be submitted to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) seeking protected legal status in the United States.
Purported victims paid Nayi as much as $30,000 to take part in the staged robberies, prosecutors said. During one robbery, a store employee was critically injured by a gunshot fired by one of the alleged assailants.

During a July 2023 “robbery” at a Chicago liquor store, one of the alleged assailants accidentally discharged his weapon and “critically” injured an employee, according to CWB Chicago. The perpetrators then fled in a stolen vehicle, according to the outlet.
Fox News Digital reached out to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker for comment.
Johnson has repeatedly lambasted federal immigration enforcement, particularly under the Trump administration, likening its actions to an America that appears as if the “Confederacy won” the Civil War.
Bhikhabhai Patel allegedly posed as a victim at a Chicago Dunkin’ in 2023 before filing a fraudulent U visa application.
Ravinaben Patel allegedly posed as a victim at a second Dunkin’ and filed a false police report about the incident.
The 2024 indictment identified more than a dozen locations used in the scheme, including businesses outside Illinois, such as a Subway in Louisiana and a truck stop in Middle Tennessee.
