A Betrayal of the Badge
In a shocking revelation of deep-seated corruption, federal authorities have indicted three current or former Louisiana police chiefs and another lawman for their role in a decade-long visa fraud scheme. The officials are accused of taking bribes to create fake police reports, inventing violent crimes to help non-citizens fraudulently obtain U-visas.
The U-visa program was created to protect immigrant victims who cooperate with law enforcement. These corrupt officials allegedly weaponized it, turning a shield for the vulnerable into a criminal enterprise for profit.
The Mastermind and His Cops for Hire
At the center of the 62-count indictment is a Louisiana businessman, Chandrakant “Lala” Patel. According to the Department of Justice, Patel would solicit non-citizens, charging them thousands of dollars to be named as “victims” in fictitious armed robbery reports.

He then allegedly paid off a network of corrupt law enforcement officials—including Oakdale Police Chief Chad Doyle, Forest Hill Police Chief Glynn Dixon, former Glenmora Police Chief Tebo Onishea, and Oakdale City Marshal Michael Slaney—to generate the fraudulent documents needed for the visa applications.
A System Weaponized for Profit
This startling discovery forces an immediate and robust reconsideration of how U-visas are administered. The case is a stunning example of what happens when those sworn to uphold the law choose to exploit it instead. The fraud not only makes a mockery of our immigration system but also harms the legitimate immigrant victims the U-visa program was designed to help.
The immigrants who paid for these fraudulent visas now face an uncertain future and potential deportation. As the legal case against the alleged conspirators proceeds, this scandal serves as a grim warning about the devastating impact of public corruption on the integrity of our nation’s laws.
