By immigrationprof

In US v. Witt,et. al, 06-2059M-1, complaint filed in USDC Eastern Kentucky May 08, 2006, theICE agent filed a criminal complaint charging Defendants, the supervisors atFischer Homes, a construction company, for harboring undocumented aliens forthe purpose of commercial advantage and private financial gain, in violation of8 USC 1324(a)(1)(B)(i) and 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iii) and (a)(1)(A)(v)(II). Webelieve this is the first time that a criminal complaint for harboring has beenfiled against an Company’s supervisors for undocumented aliens that wereemployed by a sub-contractor.
