Irving immigration lawyer and Obama supporter, Sherin Thawer, was arrested on federal fraud charges and for forging applications of illegal immigrants.
Sherin Thawer was invited to the Obama White House last year to discuss immigration reform.
Dallas.com reported:
An Irving immigration lawyer was arrested Friday morning on federal fraud charges for allegedly forging visa applications for illegal immigrants she represented, the U.S. attorney’s office said.
Sherin Thawer, 45, was arrested by agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations at her Coppell home, authorities said.
She made her initial court appearance Friday and was released.
The seven-count indictment, issued earlier this week and unsealed on Friday, charges Thawer with one count of conspiracy to commit fraud in connection with immigration documents; one count of mail fraud; one count of transfer or use of the means of identification of another person; and four counts of aggravated identity theft.
Thawer represented immigrants who were applying for various visas to enter or remain in the U.S., officials said. That included U Nonimmigrant Status, known as a U-Visa.
To qualify for a U-Visa, an immigrant must have been a victim of a certain crime and helped law enforcement with the investigation or prosecution. Applicants must submit a form completed by the law enforcement agency that worked on the case.
She’s a frickin hero! sarc/ I am betting the prosecutor is going to get audited.
I see. Our immigration system is so broken. 5 years.
These LIBERALS, SOCIALISTS and COMMUNISTS believe, that as long as they are doing “GOOD”, it’s alright to lie, cheat and steal. They’re only doing the “LORD’S WORK” don’t you know?
Obama will make sure she gets some Obama Admin Forged Visa Application Forms next time
This hot little number is already on a two year suspension for incompetent representation and lying to clients and judges.
She discussed it and implemented the usurper's orders. She must have done something else that angered der leader otherwise she wouldn't have been arrested but given a pat on the head for those forged visas.
