These sisters both worked in American Apparel's sewing department before the I-9 audit. Now they're looking for work and hoping for a way to avoid catastrophe for their family. I conducted this interview, with translation help from Natalia Garcia, on 11/18/09. Today, the 19th, I'm told that American Apparel CEO Dov Charney will be helping the Perez family, at least with this month's rent.

Peter Schey is representing American Apparel as part of his private practice. He’s also the Executive Director of the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law and has a pending class action suit over immigration raids. I visited him at the center to talk about workplace enforcement under Obama.
