The Department of Homeland Security has released a new directive instructing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to take additional steps to crack down on fraudulent asylum claims.
DHS instructed ICE to develop anti-fraud policies that will further enforce 8 U.S.C. §?1324c(d), a law that establishes penalties for violations of document fraud. As a result of this directive, ICE attorneys will get greater authority to enforce this law, including enforcement actions against immigration attorneys who file false asylum claims in an immigration court.
