HARRISONBURG, Va. (AP) - An Ohio woman accused of conspiring to obtain bogus Ohio identification cards for illegal aliens in other states is on trial in federal court in Virginia.

Federal prosecutors rested their case against 31-year-old Nekeia Mack-Fuller of Reynoldsburg on Tuesday.

Mack-Fuller is charged with aggravated identity fraud and two conspiracy charges.

She was among eight people indicted in 2008 in a conspiracy apparently intended to help illegal immigrants obtain employment and avoid deportation. The other defendants have pleaded guilty in the case.

The indictment said three defendants from Virginia sold Puerto Rican birth certificates and matching Social Security cards to illegal aliens, then arranged their travel to Columbus, Ohio, to obtain fake state IDs.
