Brothers Bhaskar and Arun Savani, who ran a visa fraud scheme and built a multimillion-dollar criminal enterprise, face prison sentences of over 400 years after their convictions this month thanks to a multiagency investigation that included ICE @HSI_HQ. The Savani brothers: —Filed false H-1B visa applications and petitions to exploit foreign workers who were dependent on the Savani Group —Defrauded Medicaid of more than $30M —Conspired to place prototype dental implants not cleared by the FDA in human patients without their consent —Laundered money through a complex web of Savani Group corporate entities’ bank accounts —Fraudulently claimed personal expenses as business expenses and failed to pay taxes “Today’s convictions send a clear message that those who build criminal enterprises on the backs of vulnerable patients, exploited workers, and U.S. taxpayers will be held to account,” said ICE @HSIPhiladelphia Special Agent in Charge Eric McLoughlin.

The Indians are now reporting @nikitabier for abuse and harassment for implying that they're mentally ill. You can't make this shit up. 🤣

“A thought-provoking exploration of Hindu nationalism, its violence in India, and its growing presence in the US. Meticulously researched and incisively analyzed, Saffron America unveils the rise and spread of the Hindutva movement on American soil. A timely and essential read, it urges us to examine the global reach of extremist ideologies and the urgent need to confront them.” – @suchitrav, Author and Attorney “This important compilation throws much-needed light on two aspects of Indian-American diaspora politics: one, active linkages of some diasporic Hindu individuals and organizations with India’s Hindutva project; two, the sustained opposition of diverse diasporic groups to Hindutva-linked activities in the US. This collection deserves a huge welcome as it contributes to enriching global diaspora studies, especially in relation to developing a critique of extremist right-wing politics. It is also a unique contribution to the contemporary history of American society and political economy.” – Dr. @prof_pritam, Professor Emeritus, Oxford Brookes University “This invaluable work unveils a quietly rising far-right movement in the US that is threatening the very fabric of American society.” – @raqib_naik, Kashmiri-American journalist “As human rights experts warn that religious minorities are pushed to the brink of genocide in India, Friedrich delivers a timely and scholarly analysis on the hate ideology driving this climate of fear and its links to America. He identifies and analyzes US-based Hindutva groups and individuals, showcasing their dubious activities and revealing how they have embedded themselves within mainstream politics and civil society. This is a wake-up call like no other.” – @cjwerleman, Journalist and Activist “Saffron America is an unflattering exposure of the tentacular reach of Hindu nationalism into US political life. Friedrich is the only independent investigative journalist in the US to doggedly track every American politician and political event with connections to the transnational networks of the militant Hindu outfit, the RSS. This book is a warning about the dangers of ignoring Hindutva's growing influence in the US.” – Dr. Sruti Bala, Associate Professor, University of Amsterdam
