The United States is intensifying its crackdown on marriage fraud, impacting Kenyans who have legitimately married U.S. citizens for immigration purposes.

• Over 1,000 sham marriages were allegedly arranged over a decade in a scheme involving payments of up to Ksh12.94 million ($100,000).
• Key organizations involved include the U.S. Department of Justice and the State Department.
• The crackdown, part of a wider push by the Trump administration, involves increased scrutiny of applications and warnings that "American citizenship is not for sale."
