Four current or former Louisiana law enforcement officers were indicted on visa fraud charges.

Federal authorities in the Western District of Louisiana charged five men, including three local police chiefs and a city Marshal, with more than 60 counts of conspiracy, visa fraud, mail fraud, and money laundering. According to a <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-wdla/pr/law-enforcement-officers-and-louisiana-business-owner-indicted-charges-bribery">press release</a> from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Louisiana, from December 2015 to July 2025, the five men ran a scheme to provide false police reports for the purpose of helping aliens obtain U-Visas in exchange for money.

The U-Visa program was established in conjunction with the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection <a href="https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-106publ386/html/PLAW-106publ386.htm">Act </a>of 2000. The bill originally granted protection from deportation to nonimmigrant aliens who were victims of human trafficking and women who were victims of domestic violence. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services gives expanded eligibility for U-Visas to nonimmigrant aliens who were victims of crimes inside the U.S. and "suffered substantial physical or mental abuse as a result," according to its <a href="https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/victims-of-criminal-activity-u-nonimmigrant-status">website.</a>

The U-Visa application requires the alien to submit an application form, along with a supplemental form that must be certified by a designated official of a law enforcement agency, and evidence to fulfill the eligibility requirements.

The five defendants are: Glynn Dixon, chief of police for the city of Forest Hill; Chad Doyle, police chief of the city of Oakdale; Tebo Onishea, police chief for the city of Glenmora; and Michael "Freck" Slaney, marshal of Allen Parish Ward 5 in Oakdale; along with Chandrakant "Lala" Patel, a resident of Oakdale.

According to the release, aliens looking to acquire U-Visas would contact Patel—either directly or through a facilitator—and pay him thousands of dollars. Patel would then get the officers to write false police reports naming the aliens as victims of alleged armed robberies. The officers would then submit these false reports as supporting documents for the alien's visa petition, attest to the fact that the aliens were cooperating victims of crimes, and certify the application.

The indictment also alleges that the four law enforcement officers knowingly submitted false statements of material facts on immigration applications for over a year, by certifying the aliens were cooperating victims of crimes that never happened. It further alleges that Patel paid an agent of the Rapides Parish Sheriff's office $5,000 as a bribe in exchange for a false police report. In addition to those crimes, the indictment charged all five defendants with mail fraud for submitting the false documents through the postal system.

Each of the law enforcement officers faces six counts of visa fraud, six counts of mail fraud, and one count of conspiracy to commit visa fraud. Dixon and Doyle face a single count of money laundering and Slaney faces two counts of money laundering. Patel faces 24 counts of mail fraud, eight counts of money laundering, one count of conspiracy to commit visa fraud, and one count of bribery.

If convicted, each defendant could face sentences of up to five years in prison per count of conspiracy; 10 years for each charge of visa fraud; 20 years for each count of mail fraud; and 10 years for bribery (only Patel). Each count also carries a fine of up to $250,000.
