Govt creates fake university then “criminals” get arrested for getting people to enroll? Uh wtf? What’s the point of setting up the fake university?

It clearly sounds like entrapment.

From the department of Justice (forgive the gendered language, it was written in 1973):

“THE ENTRAPMENT DEFENSE IS USED WHEN AN ACCUSED PERSON ALLEGES THAT HE NEVER WOULD HAVE COMMITTED A CRIME IF A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER HAD NOT INSPIRED, INCITED, PERSUADED AND LURED HIM.”

No like, setting up a fake university to entrap what? Was something up or they just went let’s set up a fake university maybe something will happen?

It all just seems so odd and not the first thing that pops up as an entrapment operation.

I say it’s a clear-cut case of entrapment. A government agency sets up a school intended to lure young foreign students into applying, being accepted, and then applying for visas. These students have no intention of breaking the law, but through the very nature of the school being fake by government design, their visa is revoked, and they are deported.

The university was set up in the same manner as one that holds accreditation and takes smaller fees than actual tuition would cost, so that immigrants can claim they are students for a fraudulent student visa. ICE claims that these students were obviously interested in this arrangement, and not a legitimate education, because the university didn’t even have classes that students could sign up for and the students stayed enrolled. However, it is clearly entrapment as the university had been validated by the government publicly, and some students who were tricked into enrolling had later tried to transfer out to a real university, but were still arrested regardless.

Freep? Now that is a website I haven’t heard from in a long time. I assume this isn’t the same as Free Republic Press though.

Anyway, ICE sucks, they are funded bipartisianly, and just more examples of how both sides love fascism.
