Columbia Farms Inc. to Pay $1.5 Million for Hiring Unauthorized Workers

Prosecutors said the federal investigation into Columbia Farms’ hiring practices began in December 2007.  Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) investigators began reviewing the company’s I-9 employment eligibility verification forms and supporting documentation for suspected violations. Reportedly, ICE prosecuted 21 supervisory employees who were hired with false documents, and more than 300 employees were deported for being in the country illegally.
