Temp agency owner sentenced for aiding illegals
October 1, 2009 (CHICAGO) -- The owner of a temporary employment agency in suburban Chicago and an assistant have been sentenced to federal prison for helping illegal immigrants get access to secure areas at O'Hare International Airport.
Thirty-eight-year-old Mary Gurin of Carpentersville was sentenced Wednesday to three years. Her assistant, 26-year-old Norinye Benitez of Franklin Park was sentenced to one year and one day.
Both women had previously pleaded guilty to the charge of harboring illegal aliens.
In 2007, nearly two dozen illegal immigrants employed through Gurin's staffing agency were arrested and accused of using fake security badges to work in critical areas of O'Hare.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials say Ideal Staffing Solutions Inc. contracted with a number of companies to provide temporary employees.
