Four Louisiana police chiefs pleaded guilty to running a decade-long scheme to defraud the visa system on behalf of migrants. The conspiracy involved using their official authority to file false applications and misrepresent immigration status.
Police chiefs using their badges to run immigration fraud is a clean case of government officials abusing power. A ten-year operation suggests it went undetected or unreported for years, which raises questions about how many similar schemes are still running. The plea deal likely came with reduced sentences in exchange for cooperation, meaning these four probably aren't the deepest part of the problem.
