Imagine that... Another case of government corruption

In a scam topping half a million dollars, a top executive in the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency and his team submitted expense reports for trips, hotels, rental cars, food, and more. What's the problem? Nothing, except that the trips never happened; the cars were never used; and the food was never eaten. Instead, the taxpayer funds went directly into the pockets of the officials.

In a brazen criminal scheme to defraud taxpayers, one of the highest-ranking officials in the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court to helping embezzle more than $500,000 from the federal government.

Over three years, James Woosley and at least five other ICE employees scammed the agency by fabricating expenses for trips that were never taken and for hotel, rental car and restaurant expenses that did not exist, according to court records.

His son, also named James Woosley, and live-in girlfriend, Lateisha Rollerson -- both ICE employees -- allegedly ran the scam out of the elder Woosley's two Virginia homes.
