The Trump administration has charged an illegal migrant business owner in Arizona for knowingly employing other illegal aliens in his food truck business.
Federal prosecutors charged 42-year-old business owner Blademir Angulo Audeves with several crimes after Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) took him into custody in Phoenix early this month.
The Mexican national is believed to have intentionally hired at least a dozen illegal aliens to work at his restaurant chain, Taqueria El Taco Loko. Federal authorities said every single employee was in the country illegally.
He now faces several federal charges, including the Harboring of an Illegal Alien, Knowingly Employing Unauthorized Aliens, Improper Entry by an Alien, and Alien in Possession of a Firearm.

According to The Daily Wire, Angulo Audeves first entered the United States illegally in 2011 and voluntarily left the country in May of 2021 after receiving departure orders, but returned just months later in August of the same year.
Authorities also raided the home of Angulo Audeves, with prosecutors saying that he was found to be in possession of three firearms and hundreds of rounds of ammunition, violating federal law.
Court documents indicate, according to one report, that the Mexican illegal migrant paid the smuggling costs for some of his employees, fronting $12,000 a piece to traffic the illegal alien workers into the United States with the expectation that they would pay him back.
