The Biden administration could potentially revive an immigration program that a Department of Homeland Security review found was potentially subject to 'mass fraud.'
The Biden administration may restart an asylum program that fell victim to 'mass fraud,' even as thousands of potentially fraudulent uses of the program are still under review.
In one example in the review, which was produced by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services , a division of DHS, almost 600 applications were flagged because they appeared to use the address of a commercial warehouse in Orlando, Florida. The review also found examples of repeated uses of the same Social Security numbers, including some that belonged to dead people. While the report does not say how many of the applicants that were sponsored were able to enter the U.S.
triggered the review in April after an internal fraud detection unit conducted a 'filing trend analysis' that turned up red flags in thousands of applications, spurring fears that many were potentially fraudulent. However, it is unclear how many of those potentially fraudulent applications were ultimately approved.
According to the report, a U.S. government official told NBC News that the revived program will see sponsors vetted in small batches under an enhanced procedure, with any sponsor believed to be involved in fraud being turned over for investigation. Neither the White House nor DHS immediately responded to Fox News Digital requests for comment.
