Senator Calls For Homeland Security To Investigate Trump's Model Agency
"I am extremely concerned by the claims levied against Trump Model Management."

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) is calling on federal authorities to investigate Trump Model Management for alleged labor and immigration violations, in the wake of a Mother Jones investigation of the company.

Three former Trump models, all non-US citizens, told Mother Jones they worked for the GOP nominee's agency while on tourist visas. Immigration laws require employers to seek work authorization for any foreigner they hire. Financial and immigration records included in a recent lawsuit filed by a fourth former Trump model indicate that she also worked for Trump's agency without a proper visa.

"I am extremely concerned by the claims levied against Trump Model Management and ask that you open an investigation into the company's employment practices," Sen. Boxer wrote in a Wednesday letter to León Rodríguez, the director of the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), a part of the Department of Homeland Security .

Boxer wrote that the allegations in Mother Jones's exposé were "disturbing," and called on the agency to "make clear that immigration and labor violations like these will not be tolerated." The letter was also sent to Labor Secretary Tom Perez.
