ICE employee guilty in $295k fraud scheme A former Immigration and Customs Enforcement employee has pleaded guilty to her role in a fraud scheme that bilked the agency out of about $295,000 through fake travel and lodging vouchers.

Prosecutors said 38-year-old Lateisha Rollerson, a former assistant to an acting ICE intelligence chief, admitted in federal court in Washington that she worked with other ICE employees to create fraudulent travel authorizations, receipts for hotels and other expenses, and timesheets. ICE then reimbursed the employees after they turned in the fraudulent documents.
