Worksite Enforcement Continues, Only Now it is Quieter.

As reported in local news, the crackdown on employers continues. In Minnesota 1,200 employees of ABM were fired in October. ABM is a large U.S. company who contracts to provide janitorial services to large office buildings; the fired employees all worked as janitors for the company. The firings came about as the result of a government audit of the company’s I-9 forms. It appears the company has cooperated fully with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, though ABM’s cooperation does not mean they will avoid civil or criminal charges. This quieter type of immigration raid is in keeping with the stated intention of this Administration to focus its efforts on employer compliance.

For a full report of the ABM firings, please see the following Minnesota Public Radio article. Additional reporting can be found in this article from the Minnesota Star Tribune.
