Federal prosecutors have unsealed a sweeping indictment against five individuals, including current and former Louisiana law enforcement officers, accused of orchestrating a years-long scheme to exploit the U.S. immigration system for personal profit.

Acting U.S. Attorney Alexander Van Hook announced Wednesday that the charges are part of “Operation Take Back America.” The 62-count indictment includes allegations of conspiracy, bribery, mail fraud, immigration fraud, visa fraud, and money laundering.

The five people indicted are:

• Chandrakant Patel, businessman and Subway restaurant owner

• Chad Doyle, Oakdale Police Chief

• Michael “Freck” Slaney, Oakdale City Marshal

• Glynn Dixon, Forest Hill Police Chief

• Tebo Onishea, former police chief of Glenmora

According to the 21-page indictment, the alleged conspiracy spanned at least a decade, beginning as early as 2015 and continuing through July 2025.
