Feds bust massive fraud operation for illegal migrants that flooded the black market with phony Massachusetts driver's licenses for illegals

Federal authorities have dismantled a sophisticated fraud operation that took advantage of the state's controversial 2023 law granting driver's licenses to illegal migrants.

The scheme came crashing down after a routine traffic stop uncovered a hoard of fake documents.
Cesar Agusto Martin Reis, a 28-year-old illegal migrant from Brazil living in Connecticut, was sentenced to federal prison for his role as the ringleader.

Reis pleaded guilty on Friday to conspiring to obtain over 1,000 driver's licenses for ineligible illegal migrant applicants, with more than 600 of those fraudulent credentials successfully issued by the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV).

His operation, spanning multiple states including New York, took advantage of the lenient democrat licensing rules and turned it into a pipeline for identity fraud.
