New Low: Illegals Across U.S. Hiring Fake Robbers to Attack Them So They Gain Asylum

Share

Six people are facing charges over a scam in which fake crimes were staged to allow the purported victims to apply for special visas.

Parth Nayi, 26, of Woodbridge, Illinois, and Kewon Young, 31, of Mansfield, Ohio, are accused of leading the operation in an indictment announced last week by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois.

The indictment claims Nayi took money from four other individuals and organized a fake robbery against them so they could apply for special visas, allowing them to stay in the country as a result of helping investigators solve the crime.

CWB Chicago reported that officials believe hundreds of people were involved in the scam.

The statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office said the two are suspects in alleged robberies of restaurants, coffee shops, liquor stores, and gas stations in the Chicago area, as well as restaurants in Rayne, Louisiana, and Belvidere, Tennessee.

The indictment alleges Bhikhabhai Patel, 51, of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, Nilesh Patel, 32, of Jackson, Tennessee, Ravinaben Patel, 23, of Racine, Wisconsin and Rajnikumar Patel, 32, of Jacksonville, Florida, participated in the scheme as alleged victims.

During the fake robberies, what appeared to be guns were flashed as the fake victims were approached for their money or property, according to the indictment.

CWB Chicago noted that in one incident, a supposed robber accidentally fired a real gun, injuring a liquor store clerk while five people in the store were allegedly robbed.

Step two came when the alleged victims submitted forms to have local police certify that they were crime victims and were being helpful to police, according to the U.S. Attorney’s statement. Then came fraudulent U-visa applications.

Should every single illegal be deported from the United States, regardless of how expensive or disruptive it is?

All six people face charges of conspiracy to commit visa fraud. Ravinaben Patel also faces a charge of making a false statement in a visa application. The conspiracy charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in federal prison.

The false statement charge has a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.

Without naming its sources, CWB Chicago reported that police arrested one fake group of juvenile robbers, who said the victims knew about the scheme, but told police they did not know why the robberies were staged.

State charges were rarely forthcoming, CWB Chicago reported, because the amounts in the so-called robberies were so low, and the victims appeared to have consented to be robbed.

Late last year, police arrested Rambhai Patel, 36, and Balwinder Singh, 39, of New York City for a similar scam that involved at least eight fake robberies, according to the New York Post.

Other schemes go back even further. In 2019, police in Seattle said 10 people were suspected of taking part in a hoax aimed at securing U-visas for the alleged victims, according to KOMO-TV.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

“We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them. 

 

Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn recently made that comment to Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal. 

 

And if the leftists and the elites get their way, that’s exactly what will happen — no real election, no real choice for the Electoral College, and no real say for the American people. 

 

The Western Journal is fighting to keep that from happening, but we can’t do it alone.

 

We work tirelessly to expose the lying leftist media and the corrupt America-hating elites.

 

But Big Tech’s stranglehold is now so tight that without help from you, we will not be able to continue the fight. 

 

The 2024 election is literally the most important election for every living American. We have to unite and fight for our country, otherwise we will lose it. And if we lose the America we love in 2024, we’ll lose it for good. Can we count on you to help? 

 

With you we will be able to field journalists, do more investigative work, expose more corruption, and get desperately needed truth to millions of Americans. 

 

We can do this only with your help. Please don’t wait one minute. Donate right now.

 

Thank you for reading,

Josh Manning
