HAWAII MANAGERS ACQUITTED OF IMMIGRATION VIOLATIONS
From Pacific Business News:
A Honolulu federal court jury on Wednesday acquitted two managers of an Oahu agricultural company on felony charges of intentionally hiring illegal workers from Mexico.
The case of David Kato and Glen Kelley McCaig, both managers at The Farms Inc. in West Oahu, stretches back to early 2008 and marked one of the first Hawaii cases in which federal prosecutors attempted to hold employers responsible for employing illegal workers.
Investigations into the The Farms Inc. began in early 2008 and resulted in an immigration raid at the Oasis apartment complex in Waipahu that July, where 43 workers were arrested.
Kato and McCaig were arrested in December 2008 and charged with at least a dozen felony counts of fraudulently filling out federal I-9 forms and knowingly recruiting and hiring illegal workers by helping them with travel and living arrangements.
