She fraudently sold certs to illegal aliens. She undercut Americans, who paid for and had to pass their classes, by given certs to illegals who didn't attend the class for quick cash.
The EPA is an out-of control entity, but like a broken clock, they are right this time.

I don’t know about you, but a broken clock that’s only right twice a day gets fixed or discarded in my house.
Besides the wholr cerfication scam needs overhauled too. The EPA mandates that you obtain a certification, but requires that you get it from an “approved” private vendor. There’s a lot of room for corruption in a system like that. This woman’s real crime (from the EPA’s point of view) is that she probably became too bold and obvious in her corruption and they had to bring her down before anyone noticed that the whole system is corrupt.
...and the illegal aliens were prosecuted/deported. Right?
Sorry, I won't acknowledge that they should even exist.
She committed fraud. She deserves jail and fines. The points you're missing is that there is no Constitutional authority for a Federal licensing scheme in the first place, nor is there a Constitutional authorization for Federal police powers granted to all the made up bureaucracies.
