Aug. 13 (UPI) -- A former Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent was sentenced to three years in prison Monday for a scheme that involved charging immigrants facing deportation for deferrals.
Clifton Divers, 49, of Michigan, pleaded guilty in January to charges of bribery and conspiracy. He and Detroit attorney Charles Busse, 59, were accused of running a scheme in which Busse took money from immigrants to obtain deportation deferrals, which Divers obtained through his power as an ICE agent.
