GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — federal law enforcement authorities say a woman who posed as an immigration attorney and ripped off her clients is headed to a federal prison.
Officials said Jessica Rubio, 32, of Holland, was sentenced Monday to six years behind bars, plus pay some $379,000 in restitution and forfeitures.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, over the course of six years, Rubio told people who were in the country illegally that she was a Department of Homeland Security attorney and that she could speed up their immigrant applications. She would take their money but never submit their paperwork.
Feds said Rubio made off with $273,755 from 91 different persons.
