Vast Majority Of Businesses Employing Migrants Have Been Left Off The Hook, Report Shows

As ICE workplace raids around the country intensify, a new investigation from WaPo shows that employers are not facing repercussions, despite a Trump administration promise.

The Trump administration once warned it would hold businesses who employed undocumented migrants accountable for their alleged contribution to unlawful migration. However, as ICE hones down on workplace raids, almost no business— small or large— have faced any repercussions, according to a new report.

The investigation, published by The Washington Post, shows it is rare for businesses to be charged following ICE raids. In fact, the news outlet was able to only confirm one employer that has been charged after the raids in their business were publicized.
