Colorado Companies Face Hefty Fines Over Immigration Violations
Three Denver-based companies are set to face over $8 million in fines, according to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), following worksite audits that uncovered significant employment eligibility issues. The fines aim to crack down on companies employing unauthorized workers.
Special Agent in Charge Steve Cagen of ICE said, in an official statement, "The employment of unauthorized workers undermines the integrity of our immigration system and puts law-abiding employers at a disadvantage."
The hefty fines are as follows:
- CCS Denver, Inc. faces a fine of $6,186,171 due to a 100% substantive violation rate, with evidence showing the company knowingly hired and employed at least 87 unauthorized workers.
- PBC Commercial Cleaning Systems, Inc. faces a $1,599,510 fine, as a result of a 74% violation rate, with a pattern of knowingly employing at least 12 unauthorized workers.
- Green Management Denver faces a fine of $270,195 for a 100% violation rate, with the identification of 44 unauthorized employees. The company, registered in Colorado, has been listed as delinquent since 2022.
ICE's worksite enforcement efforts focus on ensuring compliance with federal employment laws through I-9 audits, civil penalties, and criminal prosecution where necessary. Their enforcement approach consists of a three-prong strategy: promotion of legal hiring practices, compliance, and enforcement.
