A 45-year-old man pleaded guilty to selling fraudulent immigration documents in Buffalo, New York.
Pablo Bacilio Miranda, a resident of Ransomville, New York, pleaded guilty to fraud involving immigration documents, according to U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul Jr.
The defendant, 45, possessed and sold six sets of fraudulent Lawful Alien Registration Cards and social security cards on three occasions between September 2014 and June 2015.
A valid Lawful Alien Registration Card verifies that the holder is lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence and gives the bearer the right to live and work permanently in the United States.
The card is also provided to U.S. employers as proof of authorization to work in the United States.
Miranda faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Marie P Grisanti.
Sentencing is scheduled for December 23, 2015, at 12:30 p.m. before U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara.
The plea is the culmination of an investigation by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations, under the direction of Acting Special Agent-In-Charge J. Michael Kennedy.
