This post summarizes a Fox News video that comes from local station WFXT. We relied on Fox's published title and description, not a transcript, so we are limited to what the network says about it.
According to Fox, Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Leah Foley on Tuesday accused U.S. citizen Jennifer Gonzalez of fraudulently arranging sham marriages in the state. The marriages were between American citizens and illegal aliens, Fox says, and went on for more than a decade. The title says the purpose was to help the immigrants get legal status.
What the listing does not say. It gives no count of marriages, no list of charges, no court date, and no statement from Gonzalez or a lawyer for her. It does not describe how the scheme worked or whether the citizens involved were paid or charged.
Two limits. An accusation by a prosecutor is not a conviction. And the details here are Fox's one-sentence summary of a local news clip.
