According to reports, 31 undocumented immigrants were also detained during the operation. They face charges related to forged documents, financial fraud, and illegal money transfers.
FBI officials confirmed that the arrests followed months of investigation focused on curbing financial crimes and unlawful remittance activities within the U.S.
An FBI spokesperson revealed that cases have been filed against those apprehended, and more arrests could follow.
Just last month, a Pakistani citizen living illegally in the U.S. was deported after immigration authorities in Dallas ordered his removal, part of a broader crackdown on illegal immigration under President Donald Trump’s second-term administration.
