Migrant farm workers win! Bladimir Moreno, the owner of Los Villatoros Harvesting LLC, a farm labor contractor that forced Mexican H-2A farm workers to work in horrible conditions, was stopped and brought to justice. After an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Moreno was found guilty of conspiracy to violate federal laws that prohibit forced labor and organized crime. He was sentenced to nearly ten years in prison and ordered to pay the workers he harmed over $175,000 (just over 3,334,000 Mexican pesos).
