MIAMI (AP) - Investigators have arrested more than 20 people as part of a counterfeit ring that forged immigration documents to get real Florida driver licenses.
The Miami Herald reports 47-year-old Valois Nunez Artelis has been charged with masterminding the scheme. He faces trial later this month in federal court.
Prosecutors say Nunez posed as an immigration officer and falsified a document provided by the immigration enforcement agency to immigrants who have a reason to not be deported. It allowed immigrants in the country illegally to apply for driver licenses.
Federal agents arrested more than 20 immigrants who each paid $2,000 for the documents. Two immigrants were convicted this week in Miami and could face deportation.
