Thanks for the link, Cindy..I hadn't yet seen the ICE site.

From your ICE.gov link, more on those arrested for the driver's license scheme:

Last Thursday, ICE agents, assisted by U.S. Postal Inspectors, arrested four individuals, Ali Hawil, Daher Al-Mayahi, Barbara Wilke, and Mohamad Barry, and seized more than $20,000 and a variety of document-production equipment, as part of an ongoing investigation into the production and trafficking of fraudulent State of Michigan driver’s licenses, U.S. Visas, foreign passports and Social Security cards. According to court documents, the investigation began after U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers seized a number of blank Guinea driver’s licenses en route to Hawil. An undercover ICE agent, posing as an Iraqi arms dealer with an Afghan passport, made contact with Hawil, who then arranged a meeting with Al-Mayahi. Al Mayahi demanded several hundred dollars for the driver’s license – something Al Mayahi said he’d done “a thousand times.”
