Rochester Roofers Face Deportation After Injury Lawsuit

Three roofers in Rochester, NY, who sustained serious injuries on the job, now face potential deportation after filing a lawsuit. Attorney Albert Parisi revealed that the men, newly arrived immigrants, were injured while subcontracted by a local roofing company. After seeking legal recourse, immigration authorities began investigating, raising concerns about retaliation. The case follows a U.S. Supreme Court order that permits immigration stops based on perceived ethnicity or language, further complicating matters. Parisi criticized the legal climate that puts vulnerable workers at risk for seeking justice. He called on Rochester and the nation to do better for immigrants injured on the job.
