1800 Illegal Workers At American Apparel

“American Apparel, no stranger to controversial headlines, said Wednesday that the government has found that 1,800 of its employees are either illegally working in the U.S. or potentially illegal to work. Those employees comprise about one-third of the clothier’s Los Angeles manufacturing operation. The disclosure came as a result of an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The company said it was not found to have willingly hired illegal workers.” Link
