Indictment For Harboring Illegal Alien Workers
Two temporary labor companies face a 40 count criminal indictment, accused in a large scale illegal alien and money laundering scheme.

Garcia Labor Company in Tennessee, Garcia Labor Company of Ohio in Wilmington, the president of both companies, Maximino Garcia, the former vice president and his sister, Dominga McCarroll, and Gina Luciano, the Human Relations Director were all named as defendants.

The indictment accuses the company of providing temporary workers to ABX Air, Inc, while knowingly employing illegal aliens. The indictment also accused Garcia and McCarroll of conducting more than $12 million of financial transactions that represented proceeds from harboring, transporting, and inducing aliens to reside and remain in the U.S. illegally.

Assistant Secretary for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Julie Myers says, "companies that utilize cheap, illegal alien labor as a business model should be on notice. ICE is dramatically enhancing its enforcement efforts against employers that knowingly employ illegal aliens."
