Ex-Immigration Lawyer Sentenced
Woman Admits To Arranging Sham Marriage For Client

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- A Greensboro lawyer once nationally recognized for her pro bono work with immigrants was sentenced Thursday to a year and a day in federal prison for breaking the law for immigrant clients.
Judge James Beaty sentenced Manlin Chee in U.S. District Court in Winston-Salem.
Chee pleaded guilty Nov. 23 to defrauding the United States by submitting false paperwork on behalf of immigrant clients.
She admitted to arranging a sham marriage so one client could remain in the country and falsely portraying another in legal documents as a homosexual who would face persecution if sent back to Egypt. Both clients were undercover government informants.
Supporter Tim Hopkins said Chee was only guilty of helping people to a fault.
Prosecutors argued that Chee not only submitted false paperwork, but also lied to an Immigration and Naturalization Service official during a secretly taped meeting in Charlotte."This country has lost control of its borders. And no country can sustain that kind of position." .... Ronald Reagan
