| NEW YORK - Clover Perez was indicted on charges related to presenting false applications for lawful United States residence status to immigration authorities. Perez was arrested Thursday morning at her home in Elmont, New York, by ICE agents. From approximately April 2005 through December 2005, Perez, who operated Reliable Clerical Services, Inc. d/b/a Reliable Immigration Services in Queens, New York, prepared applications on behalf of immigrants that she claimed would result in work permits and/or legal residence. Perez submitted these applications under the League of United Latin American Citizens ("L.U.L.A.C.") program, a limited immigration amnesty and legalization program that allowed certain illegal immigrants -- who, among other things, must have resided in the United States before January 1, 1982 -- to apply for legal residence. |
