A Nevada-based Chinese woman was arrested and charged on Wednesday for allegedly bringing Chinese nationals illegally into the United States in exchange for money.

Liao Haiyan, also known as Daisy Liao, is a Chinese-born, naturalized U.S. citizen living in Las Vegas. According to an indictment unsealed at a U.S. district court in Nevada on Jan. 13, she and other co-conspirators ran a scheme to help Chinese nationals fraudulently obtain visitor visas from January 2014 to December 2015.
