Indian student loses $5,000 to fake immigration officers in US
An Indian student in US was scammed by impostors posing as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. Scammers convinced her she was violating immigration laws and pressured her into purchasing $5,000 worth of gift cards as "bond" payments to avoid arrest and deportation. This comes amid increased enforcement action under President Donald Trump, with ICE ramping up arrests across US.
