The FBI and local law enforcement investigated a suspected fake ID ring for over a year. Armando Patino Sanchez and Misael Tomas Velazquez are in custody. A third man, Oscar Velazquez Gonzalez is still at large.
All three are accused of helping illegal aliens obtain Social Security and US Permanent Resident "Green" cards. According to the US Attorneys office, the men took cash in exchange for counterfeit IDs.
The Green Cards were reportedly very authentic.
If convicted, the men could face 10 years in federal prison.
