I think it's a scam targeting specific areas

I lived a short time in NY and I got a mobile with a phone number with a Flushing area number (lots of people with Asian descent live there). Literally the first day I start receiving robocalls in Chinese, I recorded it and let a Chinese listen the message. It said there's a problem with my documentation and I have to call a number as soon as possible or face consequences. I was told this is a scam, they try to get money to fix a non existent issue.

You can access the gov link seen in the screenshot and see it's legit from the US gov rather than a common scammer: https://www.dhs.gov/cbphome.

Ofc the current US gov are some of the most prolific grifters that country has ever seen, so your point still stands that these people will likely be scammed... They'll just likely end up thrown into a concentration camp rather than deported on a commercial flight with $1,000 as promised.
