"If you’re a good worker, papers don’t matter."

How a Trump construction crew has relied on immigrants without legal status. wapo.st/2yLt6et
Exclusive: The Trump Organization pledged to scrutinize the legal status of its employees.

But a little-known company owned by the president continues to use undocumented workers for projects on his properties, according to past and current crew members. wapo.st/2KAGSpz
Trump "doesn’t want undocumented people in the country," said Jorge Castro, a 55-year-old immigrant from Ecuador without legal status who left the construction company after nine years.

"But at his properties, he still has them." wapo.st/2KAhWhV

Since January, a team of Post reporters led by @partlowj @fahrenthold @oconnellpostbiz @nickmiroff having been examining how much Trump’s private company has relied on undocumented workers, even as he has been railing against illegal immigration.
@partlowj @Fahrenthold @OConnellPostbiz @NickMiroff So far, we have interviewed 43 immigrants without legal status who were employed at Trump properties. They include waiters, maids and greenskeepers, as well as a caretaker at a hunting lodge that his two adult sons own in Upstate New York.

GEO Group strikes again.

"She said she also wants to know why ICE had him shackled to his hospital bed in a coma and had signed papers releasing him from custody two weeks into his stay."

He was a Dreamer.

"Ibarra — who came to the United States from Mexico as a young child and grew up in Southern California — was arrested in 2017 after fleeing traffic police, Castro said."
"She said he told her that he hadn't pulled over out of fear he could face deportation — though at that time he had permission to stay in the country under a President Barack Obama-era program for immigrants without legal status who were brought to the country as children."
