RMV Officials Busted in Illegal Immigrant Identity Theft Racket


Workers for Massachusets’ Registry of Motor vehicles have just been caught providing IDs and voting rights to illegal immigrants living in the state. Now, they’re facing criminal charges.

Four state Registry of Motor Vehicle clerks along with two other people were arrested Wednesday after authorities say they were making false identifications through the registry and selling them to people living in the country illegally, some of whom had been deported in the past.

Some of those phony licenses and identifications were used to fraudulently register to vote in Boston, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Evelyn Medina, 56, of Boston; Annette Gracia, 37, of Boston; Kimberly Jordan, 33, of Randolph; David Brimage, 46, of Boston; Bivian Yohanny Brea, 41, of Boston; and a 32-year-old man identified as John Doe were all charged in federal court with aggravated identity theft.

The four Registry of Motor Vehicles clerks arrested and charged Wednesday in a federal aggravated identity theft case are on unpaid administrative leave as their cases and an administrative review are pending, the RMV said.

Officials are still trying to determine John Doe’s true identity and list multiple aliases for him.

Medina, Gracia, Jordan, and Brimage were employed as clerks at the Haymarket Registry of Motor Vehicles. Authorities said Brea and Flako worked with the RMV clerks to operate the scheme.

The case against the six people began after Massachusetts State Police received an anonymous letter in October 2015 claiming a “corrupt RMV employee” was providing stolen identifications and drivers’ license to people seeking the phony documents.

“During the week of June 8-12, 2015, there were 80 instances of SSN queries with no transaction activity associated with them. During the month of February 2016, there were 208 instances of SSN queries with no transaction activity associated with them,” Russo wrote in the affidavit. “Of the 208 queries, 13 people are deceased and 9 are duplicates.”

Further investigation revealed that the four Haymarket RMV clerks were allegedly working with Brea and Flako to provide licenses and identification cards to illegal aliens for cash.

According to federal prosecutors, an aggravated identity theft charge provides for a mandatory minimum of two years in prison.

These fraudsters have been caught, but there are probably many more like them across the country. As Democrats continue to resist voter fraud investigations, they’re empowering low-level “activists” to commit fraud without fear of prosecution.

Thankfully, in this case, that prosecution looks likely.
