US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has found over 10,000 potential fraud cases involving a program that permits foreign students to prolong their stay in the United States after graduating from college by claiming work employment. The federal investigation into the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program revealed that thousands of foreign students have been claiming to work at businesses with fraud indicators, many of which are non-governmental organizations (NGOs) engaged in "suspicious activity," said ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons during a press conference yesterday. thepostmillennial.com
