Multiple news agencies, including CNN.com and the New York Times, announced on 21 March 2008, that an US Immigration Agent had been arrested on felony charges for allegedly soliciting sex from an applicant for Permanent Residency. The Agent used the Applicant's cell phone number to contact her. He stated that he needed to discuss matters in her case with her, but when she agreed to meet him he instead solicited sex from her with the promise of her green card. The Applicant recorded the Agent's solicitations with her cell phone and turned them into the New York Times when she could not find a method for confidential complaints with USCIS. As of 21 March 2008, USCIS had 165 open investigations into employee misconduct.
