1 day agoIran war will increase small boat arrivals, crime agency chief warns
US-Iranian conflict is expected to increase small boat arrivals in Britain, according to the National Crime Agency director general.
The scheme began in March 2023, when Rambhai Patel, then 36, carried out staged armed robberies with co-conspirators at at least six convenience stores, liquor stores, and fast food restaurants in Massachusetts and other states. Prosecutors said the robberies were designed to help store clerks falsely claim they were victims of violent crimes in applications for U nonimmigrant status, commonly known as a U visa.
