Ice on Immigration: H-2 workers’ rights violatedQuestion: I am working in the United States on an H-2B visa with a group of other men. Recently, my employer took all of our passports, visa information, I-94 departure records and social security cards. He told us we could not leave the compounds where we work and live. Our passports are our only identification in the United States. We are worried. What should we do?Answer: You should contact an attorney immediately. There are United States laws prohibiting this kind of employer behavior. The federal laws are known as the Trafficking Victims Protection Acts. To read more about these laws go online to http://www.humantrafficking.org/countries/united_states_of_america.
