美国移民及海关执法局（ICE）在特朗普政府的反欺诈战争中开辟了新战线，推出一项史无前例的政策，对代表移民提交欺诈性庇护申请的律师处以罚款。
国土安全部总法律顾问詹姆斯·珀西瓦尔在X平台上发文称，此举向欺诈者“发出了警告”。
“上个月，我们向开放边境利益集团发出了警告——提交欺诈性庇护申请将导致律师被处以罚款，”珀西瓦尔写道。
他表示，国土安全部已于周二对一名律师处以超过25.5万美元的罚款，原因是该律师代表印度移民向美国提交了多份欺诈性申请。

ICE再次强调，在X平台上发文称“律师滥用和欺诈我们移民系统的日子已经结束”。
在发给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中，国土安全部表示，国土安全调查局已针对律师维诺德·多达马尼发出五份拟罚款通知，原因是他涉嫌为主要来自印度的国民提交64份欺诈性文件。

国土安全部表示，多达马尼的业务遍布全国，主要代表印度移民在移民法庭提交庇护申请。国土安全部称，多达马尼提交的声明书在语言和内容上完全或几乎完全一致。该机构表示，这些声明书中包含关于指称的迫害经历的相同或几乎相同的事实叙述和佐证细节。
在与福克斯新闻数字频道的通话中，多达马尼否认有任何不当行为，并声称国土安全部抓错了人。相反，多达马尼将相关文件的提交归咎于“一名不守规矩的员工”和他的“办公室经理”。他表示，“从某种意义上说，我确实感到自己过去25年来一直受到这个国家的歧视。”

该机构表示，此次罚款符合珀西瓦尔上月发布的一项指令，该指令授权ICE律师对在法庭上提交虚假庇护申请的移民律师采取执法行动。
当时，珀西瓦尔解释称：“庇护等保护申请旨在涵盖独特且有限的情况，但移民律师代表非法外籍人士的常规做法是，声称几乎每个非法外籍人士都会在其祖国遭受迫害或酷刑。”
“现在，多亏了这项指令，ICE律师拥有了更大的执法权，可以制止非法外籍人士和律师滥用我们的庇护系统，”珀西瓦尔说。
在国土安全部发布的声明中，珀西瓦尔表示，“欺诈性庇护申请会给本已负担过重的移民系统造成压力，并延误对危险刑事外籍人士的驱逐，威胁到美国人的安全。”

“长期以来，”他继续说道，“移民律师并未像其他律师一样受到相同的道德标准约束。”

珀西瓦尔表示，“在特朗普总统的领导下，这种情况将不再被容忍。”
“ICE正寻求向律师维诺德·多达马尼处以超过25万美元的罚款。通过追究他的责任，我们向全国范围内所有参与欺诈行为的移民律师传递了一个信息：你们滥用和欺诈我们移民系统的日子已经结束。”

Trump puts asylum lawyers ‘on notice’ with new front in war on fraud
June 24, 2026 12:26pm EDT / Fox News
Attorney Vinod Doddamani allegedly filed declarations that were identical in language for primarily Indian nationals

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has opened up a new front in the Trump administration’s war on fraud through a first-of-its-kind policy fining attorneys for filing fraudulent asylum claims on behalf of immigrants.
James Percival, general counsel for the Department of Homeland Security, posted on X that the move puts fraudsters “on notice.”
“Last month, we put the open borders industrial complex on notice — fraudulent asylum claims would result in fines against attorneys,” wrote Percival.
He said that on Tuesday, DHS fined an attorney over $255,000 for filing multiple fraudulent claims on behalf of Indian immigrants to the U.S.

ICE doubled down, posting on X that “the days of attorneys abusing and defrauding our immigration system are OVER.”
In a statement shared with Fox News Digital, DHS said Homeland Security Investigations filed five notices of intent to fine attorney Vinod Doddamani for allegedly filing 64 fraudulent documents on behalf of primarily Indian nationals.

DHS said that Doddamani operates a nationwide practice of filing asylum applications on behalf of mostly Indian immigrants in immigration courts. In support of these asylum claims, DHS said Doddamani filed declarations that were identical or nearly identical in language and substance. The agency said the declarations contained the same or nearly the same factual narrative and supporting details regarding the alleged persecution.
In a call with Fox News Digital, Doddomani denied any wrongdoing and claimed that the DHS has the wrong suspect. Instead, Doddomani blamed “a rogue employee” and his “office manager” for the filings in question. He said that, “in a certain sense, I really feel discriminated by this country for at least the last 25 years.”

The agency said the fines are in line with a directive Percival issued last month authorizing ICE attorneys to take enforcement actions against immigration attorneys who file false asylum claims in court.
At the time, Percival explained that “protection claims like asylum are intended to cover unique and narrow circumstances, but it is standard practice for immigration attorneys representing illegal aliens to assert that virtually every illegal alien is going to be persecuted or tortured in his or her home country.”
“Now, thanks to this directive, ICE attorneys have greater authority to enforce the law and stop the abuse of our asylum system by illegal aliens and attorneys,” said Percival.
In the statement shared by DHS, Percival said that “fraudulent asylum claims threaten the safety of Americans by overwhelming our burdened immigration system and delaying the removal of dangerous criminal aliens.”

“For too long,” he continued, “immigration attorneys have not been held to the same ethical standard as other attorneys.”

Percival said that “under President Trump, this will no longer be tolerated.”
“ICE is seeking a fine of more than $250,000 from attorney Vinod Doddamani. By holding him accountable, we are sending a message to other immigration attorneys who engage in fraud across the country: your days of abusing and defrauding our immigration system are over.”
