MIAMI - Federal authorities in Miami say one family has been marrying illegal immigrants for money.

The Miami-Dade state attorney’s office has charged five people with bigamy in connection with the case. They’re accused of marrying undocumented immigrants for cash to help them earn legal U.S. residency.

Authorities say 46-year-old Eurice Rodriguez married three times without ever divorcing her first husband. She was arrested this week and posted bond Tuesday. Court documents do not list an attorney for her. A phone listed for a Eurice Rodriguez in Miami has been disconnected.

Two other family members were also charged this week, one for 12 illegal marriages. Authorities are looking for both of them.
