Several Louisiana Police Chiefs Arrested in Visa Fraud Scheme

A federal investigation has led to the arrest of multiple law enforcement officials in Louisiana, including three current and former police chiefs, accused of participating in a bribery scheme aimed at helping foreign nationals obtain visas. The charges allege that these officers fabricated reports and conspired with a business owner to exploit the immigration system for personal gain. The indictments stem from a broader operation involving the FBI and other federal agencies, which announced the arrests during a press conference detailing the extensive corruption within local law enforcement. The federal task force has charged five individuals in connection with this scheme, highlighting a troubling intersection of law enforcement and immigration fraud in the state.
