The Department of Homeland Security set up a fake Detroit-area university to target foreign students who wanted to stay in the U.S. without proper authorization in a “pay to play” scheme, according to reports. FEDS SET UP FAKE UNIVERSITY, ARREST 21 IN BOGUS VISA CASEThe fake institution, dubbed the University of Farmington, had been operated by Homeland Security in Farmington Hills since 2015 and had a website touting its "dynamic business administration and STEM curriculum." The students enrolled to obtain jobs under a student visa program called Curricular Practical Training, according to the paper. An indictment unsealed Wednesday said the defendants helped 600 undocumented immigrants to enroll in the fake university in exchange for cash, kickbacks and tuition credits. Student visas allow individuals to remain in the U.S. if they are enrolled in school and working toward a degree.
