ICE Raids Kansas Home in Green Card Crackdown
HSI agents raided a Kansas home and found counterfeit green cards, prompting guilty pleas from two migrants.
Federal agents executed a search warrant at a home in Kansas City, Kansas on May 28, leading to the arrest of two migrants - Santos Ramirez-Ramirez, 38, from Guatemala, and Yolanda Mendoza-Emiliano, 32, from Mexico. Both individuals pleaded guilty to possessing counterfeit green cards and falsified Social Security cards. The counterfeit documents contained false names and photographs, but were linked to valid alien registration numbers, a unique identifier used by U.S. immigration authorities.
The investigation was led by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), a division of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which focuses on immigration and document fraud cases. The Trump administration has been aggressive in pursuing immigration fraud cases, targeting counterfeit documents, sham marriages, and other schemes used to obtain legal status in the United States.
