Counterfeit resident alien cards, social security cards, state driver’s licenses and foreign driver’s licenses were all available from a St. Louis-area false document lab in 2010.
And now three men have pleaded guilty to the lab's operation, according to a U.S. Department of Justice press release.
Mauricio Aparicio-Gonzalez, 24, and Mauro Martinez-Espinosa, 23, pleaded guilty today, while Reinaldo Pereida, 49, pleaded Jan. 31. All three men are Mexican nationals and their sentencings are set for May 2011.
The release also states that this particular lab was part of a national organization that operated false document-making labs in numerous cities in the United States.
