Abercrombie & ICE

On September 28, 2010 ICE reached a settlement with clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch as a result of an I-9 Notice of Inspection ("NOI") issued to that company in November 2008. The inspection brought to light "technology-related deficiencies" but no knowing hires of unauthorized aliens. Despite this fact, as well as Abercrombie's cooperation in the inspection and in resolving the technical problems, the company was assessed a fine of slightly more than $1 million. Brian M. Moskowitz, special agent in charge of ICE HSI for Ohio and Michigan, hopes that the settlement with Abercrombie will "...serve as a warning to other companies that may not yet take the verification process seriously...."
