- The University of Farmington was a fake university set up in 2015 in Michigan by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) to expose student visa fraud in the United States. The sting operation, which was code-named "Paper Chase", was overseen by the United States Department of Homeland Security. Over 600 individuals were identified in the operation, many of whom face deportation from the United States for visa violations. The sting was disclosed to the public on January 30, 2019, with The Detroit News reporting about the Dept. of Homeland Security and ICE HSI arresting eight "recruiters" of Indian nationality and charging them on grounds of visa fraud and harboring aliens for profit. They allegedly made more than $250,000 from the university, in exchange for recruiting students. By early February 2019, 130 students (129 of whom were from India) from multiple cities were also arrested for violation of immigration laws and might be subject to deportation, on a successful conviction. In March, ICE announced that the total number of students arrested was 161. According to the prosecutors, the students enrolled in the university solely to maintain their student-visa status and lengthen their stay in the U.S., despite being aware "that they would not attend any actual classes, earn credits or make academic progress towards an actual degree." Others have noted that the university was listed as a legitimate school on the Department of Homeland Security website. (en)
- 法明頓大學（英語：University of Farmington）是由美國移民及海關執法局（ICE）在2015年於密西根州虛設的大學。本大學實際上是為了美國國土安全部發起代號為「文凭追捕」（Paper Chase）的執法行動而專門設立的，目的在曝光學生簽證，大約有600名學生涉入此案。 本次行動隨著2019年1月30日報導美國國土安全部與移民及海關執法局逮捕8名印度籍的學校仲介人員而公開。這則報導中，這些仲介人員被控以簽證詐欺和藏匿外籍人士謀利，他們替學校招募學生，並獲得至少250,000美元報酬。此外，130名在各地的學生（129名為印度籍且大部份為泰盧固人，另1名為巴勒斯坦籍）因違返移民法規被逮捕，若被定罪可能被驅逐出境。 檢察官表示，學生們只為了維持學生簽證身份以留在美國而「就讀」此大學，即使了解他們並不會上任何課程、得到學分，或在獲得學術學位上有任何進展。 (zh)
