A lawyer representing a dozen illegal immigrants recently fired by a New York golf club owned by President Trump is now calling for an investigation by New York authorities and the FBI into the club's hiring practices.
In a story reported by the Associated Press and Washington Post, twelve employees of New York's Trump National Golf Club living illegally in the country were called in one by one on January 18 and told that they were being fired. Some of them had been employed by the club for over a dozen years.
The firing came amid Trump's stand-off with the Democrats over border wall funding and followed multiple illegal immigrants publicly alleging last month that they'd worked at Trump's New Jersey club despite their employers knowing that they submitted phony documents for the job, even helping them obtain them.
The recently fired illegal immigrants at the New York club claim that managers have known that they were here illegally, but chose to look the other way when they applied using fake documents.
"This is bogus. People have been there for 12, 13, 14 years," said the illegal immigrants' lawyer Anibal Romero, who is also representing some of the other recently fired migrants, AP reports.
"One had the keys to Eric Trump’s bedroom," Romero added.
The lawyer says he's contacted New York State authorities and the FBI to call for an investigation into what he describes as the former "don't ask, don't tell" policy at the club.
