To date, seven individuals have pleaded guilty in the case against RCI:

* Richard Rosenbaum, former president, Edward Cunningham, former vice president, and Christina Flocken, comptroller, principles of RCI, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud the United States and harbor illegal aliens.
* Santiago Echaniz, former supervisor, pleaded guilty to harboring illegal aliens and making false statements.
* Olfmara Maltos-Trevino, former employee, pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting the unlawful employment of aliens.
* Miguel Martinez-Garcia, former employee, pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting the unlawful employment of aliens.
* Janie Schlagel, a former State of Michigan employee, also pleaded guilty to a two-count indictment charging trafficking in means of identification.

"You might ask 'Is this a case about criminal employers or criminals who are employers?'" said Brian M. Moskowitz, special agent in charge of the ICE Office of Investigations for Michigan. "The reality in this case is that they are one in the same. Mr. Rosenbaum blatantly, egregiously and criminally abused our immigration system and our tax laws for the purpose of financial gain. This case should send a clear and unmistakable message to employers that there is a high cost to pay for these crimes."

"This case is an outstanding example of the cooperative efforts of federal law enforcement agencies," said United States Attorney Charles R. Gross. The prosecutors assigned to this case inform me that the success of this investigation is due not just to the exceptional professionalism and diligence of the individual case agents, but also to the remarkable working relationship between U.S. ICE and IRS-CI."

ICE needs to hurry up and hit more businesses and make arrests before big business writes new laws making it legal for business to do what they're doing

I wish Texas would get it together. We're a border State and that would help support you guys and Oklahoma.
