A group of Chinese nationals who have been sentenced in a $1.2 million identity theft scheme face deportation after prison, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Wednesday.

“After they’ve served their time for fraud, we’ll take them back into ICE custody to face removal proceedings,” ICE said in an update on social media platform X.
