Investigation urged into immigration practices of company owned by Maga donors

Milwaukee city council member calls for inquiry into Uline's previous shuttle program' to bring in Mexican workers

A Milwaukee city council member has called for an investigation into the immigration policies at Uline, the office supply company owned by Liz and Richard Uihlein, two of the biggest donors to Maga Republicans in the 2024 election.

The statement by JoCasta Zamarripa, who is running for the Democratic nomination for Wisconsin secretary of state ahead of November's election, follows an investigation by the Guardian into Uline's previous use of a so-called shuttle program". It involved the company bringing workers from its facilities in Mexico to staff warehouses at its headquarters in Wisconsin, Florida and Pennsylvania, for weeks and even months at a time, using visas that are meant for workers who are being trained - not working regular full-time jobs.
