Federal agents arrested the head of a Haitian community organization Wednesday on charges that the agency made millions by filing fraudulent immigration papers for undocumented immigrants.

Gomez Accime was taken into custody as he drove to the Lauderdale Lakes office of Haitian-American Community Help Organization of South Florida -- called HACHO.
