Five illegal immigrants pleaded guilty to conspiracy to fraudulently obtain immigration documents, commonly known as green cards, in Houston federal court.

Steavan Boxie, a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago, and Rajesh Kumar Ratilal Chauhan, Dipak Kumar Patel, Kamlesh Kumar Nana and Hitesh Patel, all of India, were arrested in September as a part of an 11-month sting operation.

The five contacted Immigration and Customs Enforcement undercover agents who they believed to be corrupt and offered around $15,000 per set of documents.

Several payments were made at ICE offices in north Houston. The defendants each face up to five years imprisonment and fines up to $250,000.
