A Collier County nonprofit organization is under investigation for its role in aiding Southwest Florida Mexicans seeking legal status in Canada.

The Collier County Sheriff’s Office is looking into reports the agency has received concerning the Jerusalem Haitian Community Center (JHCC) in East Naples, said Kristi Lester, a sheriff’s spokeswoman.
