DETROIT (AP) — A former federal agent has pleaded guilty to bribery and conspiracy in a case involving a Detroit-area lawyer.
The U.S. Attorney’s office says 49-year-old Clifton Divers appeared recently in U.S. District Court in Detroit.
Authorities have said Divers used his position as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement--Homeland Security Investigations agent to obtain deferrals of deportations and other immigration benefits for non-citizen foreign nationals.
Attorney Charles Busse pleaded guilty in 2016 to bribery and conspiracy to defraud the United States, tax evasion and failing to report payments of more than $10,000.
He was accused of paying bribes for deportation deferrals for clients and sentenced to three to five years in prison.
