"Security Official Admits Taking Bribes"
Matthew Barakat
The Associated Press
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A former supervisor at the Department of Homeland Security pleaded guilty Thursday to accepting at least $600,000 in bribes to provide fraudulent citizenship documents to hundreds of Asian immigrants.
Robert T. Schofield, 57, who once supervised as many as 50 employees in the Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Fairfax, Va., pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to bribery and to aiding and abetting the illegal procurement of citizenship.
He faces as many as 25 years in prison when he is sentenced in February. Prosecutors said they will seek the maximum sentence."
