ICE Charleston document fraud case yields arrests in Boston, New York and Philadelphia Defendants conspired to obtain genuine South Carolina driver's licenses

"Document fraud poses a severe threat to both national security and public safety," said Brock Nicholson, acting special agent in charge of ICE HSI in Atlanta which oversees Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. "Individuals and organizations who think they can continue to create false documents to help criminals hide their identities without penalty should think twice. ICE HSI along with its federal, state and local law enforcement partners will continue to vigorously pursue those individuals and organizations trying to exploit and corrupt America's legal identification system by assisting criminals and potential terrorists to remain hidden among our legitimate citizens."
