"OPT is a U.S. immigration program that lets international students on F-1 visas work temporarily in the country in jobs related to their field of study."

"Today, we are announcing we have identified over 10,000 foreign students who claim to be working for highly suspect employers, and that's just among the top 25 OPT employers. This is only the tip of the iceberg," he said.

Vance commenting: "..will not tolerate foreign nationals abusing our visa system at the expense of the American people."

Visa fraud should permanently remove these bozos from our shores, and sanctions should be levied against any employers who were complicit.

GOOD TRUMP, VANCE and ICE.

Shouldn't this be posted on the Homan update thread? Seems relevant.

In all seriousness, they need to take a look at Private Christian Schools who are importing Africans and Italians to play basketball.

And obviously every single Chinese National. Especially the ones going to private High Schools.

ICE's OPT Fraud Crackdown: A Compliance Guide for Employers of F-1 Students

On May 12, 2026, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) held a press conference announcing what its leadership described as a coordinated, nationwide crackdown on fraud within the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program for F-1 students. The substance of the announcement, and the rhetoric that accompanied it, should be of immediate interest to every employer that engages F-1 international students through OPT or the STEM OPT extension. ICE has signaled that further enforcement actions are forthcoming, and the bar for documented, defensible compliance has just risen.

Good point.

Time to see some action. Congressmen are posting a lot about H1B abuse on twitter and people are openly telling them to STFU and DO SOMETHING about it.

Americans are waking up!

Here's another fraudster exposed by Sara.

For some reason, Indian IT H1B scammers think that just because they pay "taxes" it is okay for them to be scamming the system. They believe that they are the reason why US Universities are still open. Why tech cos are still working.

DEPORT!

So what was the profit of this fraud?

Citizenship scam?

Welfare fraud after staying for a nonexistent job?

I love watching immigration lawyers caught between the authorities and the immigrants playing both sides. She was part of the scam but now she's acting high and mighty now so that ICE sees her reply and thinks she's golden.

She says one or two sketchy companies, but actually it is all the top 25 are sketchy companies including Amazon, Meta, Google Microsoft, they all have abused the system. I hope deportations begin (which I think it will) but also the top management who approved these crimes are also punished with jail time.

The attorney is actually correct, and is being factual.
The OP suggested that there was OPT fraud, suggesting the employee was working for a company that doesn't actually exist. Or the employee received a falsified OPT for a known company (less likely but possible)

Last time I checked, the FAANG companies do exist. So the government release doesn't make sense. Needs clarification.

Yes, she absolutely is factual.
But I think she is virtue signaling here, as the noose tightens around the fraudsters.
Everyone went along with it when the going was good and money flowed in.

Now the same collaborators are scurrying for the exits saying "who..me? nawwww".

I am glad ICE is cracking down on fraudulent visa scams. The corporations claiming they can't find enough Americans with specialized skills are looking to decrease labor costs by gaming the H-1B visa system. The Visa Scam betrays Americans through endless cycles of going back and forth between visas until the foreign workers get an H1-B visa and explains why the corporations, governmental entities, and the universities are all in the scam.

I am pretty certain our own alma mater is doing the same as well. Everyone is in on the racket. Everyone makes money at the cost of the community and no one gives a damn.
