Chinese national, US official sentenced in scheme to get driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants
A Chinese national along with a U.S. government official were sentenced for their roles in a scheme to provide driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, the United States Attorney for the Districts of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands announced Monday.
Juana Cabrera Leon Guerrero, a U.S. citizen and Chief of the Northern Mariana Islands’ Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV), and Yongde “Ivan” Li, a citizen of China, were both sentenced as part of the scheme, which involved illegal immigrants paying a “street broker” up to $1,700 for a new driver’s license and $300 for a renewal, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Li paid Guerrero and others payments of $500 cash for the illegal transactions, while also providing meals and free taxi services.
