Immigration agency fines Abercrombie $1M

9/29/2010

COLUMBUS — A federal agency is issuing a $1 million fine against Abercrombie & Fitch

over the way the clothing retailer kept track of the employment eligibility of its workers.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office said yesterday that the fine stems from an inspection of stores in Michigan. The agency says it found nothing to indicate that the New Albany, Ohio, company knowingly hired any illegal immigrants.
