Six Indians Among 300 Arrested For Allegedly Violating US Immigration Law

Six Indians Among 300 Arrested For Allegedly Violating US Immigration Law

US ICE Arrests 364 Criminal Aliens — 6 Indians Among Them

NEW YORK: In a major month-long crackdown, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 364 individuals for criminal activity and immigration violations across six states — Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, and Wisconsin.

Indians Caught in Immigration Violation Sweep

Among those detained were six Indian nationals, with a notable case involving a 25-year-old Indian man from Champaign, Illinois, convicted of sexual abuse on July 30. He remains in ICE custody and is currently undergoing immigration verification procedures.

Operation Highlights

  • Total arrests: 364
  • Countries involved: 25, including India, Colombia, Germany, Ecuador
  • Criminal convictions: 187 individuals
  • Gender breakdown: 16 women, 346 men

Criminal Backgrounds and Public Safety Threats

More than half of those arrested had prior convictions for assault, burglary, child neglect, attempted murder, and sexual exploitation of minors. ICE confirmed that this crackdown focused on individuals who posed a public safety threat or violated US migration laws.

Statement from ICE Officials

“This operation targeted criminal aliens, public safety threats, and individuals who have violated our nation’s immigration laws,” said Ricardo Wong, ICE Chicago Field Office Director.

Importance of Immigration Verification

As immigration laws tighten globally, proper documentation such as transcripts, migration letters, and medium of instruction certificates are more crucial than ever. Authentic and verified documents help avoid legal complications and ensure smooth international transitions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common questions about sending transcripts to WES from India.

From the day you place the order to the day WES issues your ECA report typically takes 30–60 working days. The biggest variable is your university's transcript processing time — some universities issue in 1 week, others take 6+ weeks. Apply at least 60 days before you need the report.

No. WES does not accept transcripts sent by the applicant. The documents must come directly from your university or through an authorized service that picks up sealed envelopes from the university and dispatches them to WES.

The total cost is typically ₹22,000–₹30,000 for one degree. This includes the WES application fee (₹16,000–₹22,000), university transcript fee (₹500–₹3,000), and either international courier (₹2,500–₹4,000) or FACTS service fee (₹4,500–₹6,000).

If WES finds an issue — opened envelope, missing document, wrong address — they post the issue in your online account and pause processing. You must request fresh documents from your university and have them re-dispatched. This can add 4–8 weeks to your timeline, which is why first-time accuracy matters.

WES doesn't require an MOI letter for the ECA itself, but Canadian immigration (IRCC) and many universities accept MOI letters in lieu of IELTS/TOEFL. If your degree was taught in English, request an MOI letter from your university — FACTS can obtain it alongside your transcripts.

Yes. If you have a Bachelor's from one university and a Master's from another, FACTS can handle all of them in a single coordinated order, ensuring everything reaches WES in the right packaging with your reference number.

Some universities only mail to Indian addresses. In that case, FACTS receives the sealed envelope from your university and forwards it to WES via tracked international courier — fully compliant with WES's direct-dispatch requirement, since the seal is never broken.

WES ECA reports are valid for 5 years from the date of issue. If your immigration application is delayed beyond 5 years, you'll need a new evaluation.

WES offers a 7-business-day expedited evaluation for an additional fee at their end. However, the bigger time consumers are your university's transcript processing and international shipping — and those can't be expedited by WES. The fastest practical path is to use a service like FACTS that knows exactly which universities respond fastest and how to dispatch immediately upon receipt.

WES Canada (Toronto) is used for Canadian immigration, education, and licensing. WES USA (New York) is used for U.S. university admissions, employment, and licensing. The application process and required documents are nearly identical, but reports are issued separately for each — you cannot use a WES Canada report for a U.S. application or vice versa.
