Federal prosecutors indicted four Kansas City-area roofing companies along with nine owners and employees, alleging that they had participated in a scheme to bring illegal aliens into the United States, use them in their labor force and launder more than $6 million to pay them.
Authorities recently arrested six of the nine individuals named in the indictment and took an additional 34 illegal aliens into custody on administrative charges.
The scheme started when Hernandez-Bautista was arrested March 28, 2001, along with 22 other illegal aliens, by immigration authorities while they were working on jobs for Mid-Continent Specialists.
All of those arrested were deported to Mexico, except Hernandez-Bautista. He posted a $3,000 bond and changed his status to a lawful permanent resident. The indictment alleges, Evans and his company paid $11,000 to Hernandez-Bautista to smuggle the deported workers back.
