U.S. v. McClellan

Record contained sufficient evidence to support jury’s guilty verdict on charge of harboring illegal aliens, where defendant admitted in recordings that he knew that certain employees working in kitchen of his restaurant were illegal aliens, and where defendant expressed concern that said employees should be working harder in light of fact that they were receiving free rent (in house owned by defendant and located near restaurant), utilities and food. Moreover, defendant’s actions, in providing said employees with housing to help compensate them for low wages and instructing them not to clock in like other employees was sufficient to establish that defendant was “harboring” said employees in sense that defendant intended to safeguard his employees from authorities.
