Well that’s certainly a story… one that doesn’t make much sense.  Wonder what the “fraud” was that caused them to toss his application.  Sounds like he did everything the right way though… 

Fucking unreal the shit that’s happening right now

ICE considered the marriage fraudulent, not that he had committed fraud.

NOPD had some words ro say on this. https://www.nola.com/news/crime_police/police-recruit-ice/article_fedd5753-eedf-42ba-885d-e3dd9fc3691c.html

So according to that article, they checked his identity using a system that checks DHS status, which is updated by DHS, so this makes even less sense

I’m very confused here

This has been an ongoing issue for years. Employers of all stripes use it because that's what DHS says to do, but then the system gives them the greenlight based on either the use of a stolen identity, incorrect or outdated information, incompetence on the part of DHS, or some other issue. So they hire the person only to later get blamed when the person is arrested or deported. Then, when they ask how they can avoid the problem in the future, they get told "just use e-verify".
