Asylum scams

Asylum scams involve individuals or organizations falsely claiming or assisting others in falsely claiming refugee status to gain lawful entry or protection. These scams often include forged documents, misrepresentation, or coaching to appear eligible for asylum when they are not. Such activities undermine the integrity of the immigration system, drain resources, and can pose security risks. Authorities actively investigate and prosecute these schemes to prevent abuse of the asylum process and ensure that genuine refugees receive the protection they need.
