💨 Abstract

Three current or former Louisiana police chiefs were arrested in July 2025, as part of an investigation into a scheme selling false police reports to undocumented immigrants seeking visas. The forged reports claimed the immigrants were crime victims, potentially leading to U visas, which offer a path to citizenship. Five people, including the chiefs, were arrested. The scheme involved manipulation of the U-visa program, designed to aid victims of crimes.
