American Apparel in trouble with ICE

Dov Charney's L.A. firm today was "fingered by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for employing some 1,600 workers at its Los Angeles factories whose eligibility documentation is 'suspect and not valid,'" Brad Greenberg reports at the Jewish Journal's God Blog. "Another 200 workers had documentation that could not be verified. That spells trouble for about a third of American Apparel’s employees." Charney has been a prominent advocate for immigration reform, putting “Legalize L.A.“ on a t-shirt and in ads.
