A Houston-based biomedical engineer of Indian origin found herself at the centre of a viral misinformation campaign after social media users falsely accused her of visa fraud. According to her public Instagram profile, Sadhana Gollapudi works as a biomedical engineer and also performs as a Kuchipudi dancer. Reitz said his office prosecutes visa fraud aggressively when it is real, but made clear the claims against Gollapudi did not hold up. As US Atty over Houston, I take visa fraud seriously. The episode unfolded amid heightened scrutiny of visa fraud and immigration enforcement in the United States under President Donald Trump’s administration, where allegations of immigration violations often spread rapidly on social media.
