The owner and operator of an Alabaster, Ala. construction company was charged on Wednesday for allegedly hiring and harboring illegal aliens. Beverly Linan who owns Rodriguez Construction Company could face up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine if found guilty on all the counts.
“The knowing employment of illegal aliens not only takes jobs from hardworking Americans, it is against the law, “ U.S. Attorney Alice Martin said in an article published by the Shelby County Reporter.
The illegal workers that Rodriguez Construction was employing have been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and face deportation.
“No employer, regardless of industry, size, type or location is immune from complying with the nation’s laws,” ICE agent Michael Holt told the paper. “ICE and our law enforcement partners will continue to bring all of our authorities to bear in this fight using criminal charges, asset seizures, administrative arrests and deportations.”
ICE has been investigating Rodriguez Construction for two years.
