Are there a lot of passport and visa fraud cases?
DS special agents investigate more than 5,000 passport and visa fraud violations globally each year. Many of these cases are connected to other serious crimes, such as drug trafficking, international organized crime, terrorism, alien smuggling, and murder. While these cases do not regularly receive the headlines afforded to the high profile cases of other law enforcement agencies, their resolution helps secure U.S. borders and protect the national security of the United States.
