As part of his plea agreement with the government, Sanchez-Delgado agreed to forfeit four residences in Las Vegas with more than $1 million in equity. He will further forfeit bank accounts and cash totaling more than $178,000, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said. The real estate and cash were proceeds of the harboring conspiracy, officials said.

Sanchez-Delgado admitted that between January 2015 and July 2017, he conspired with supervisors at multiple agricultural corporations to supply those companies with alien workers who were not authorized to work or remain in the United States. The corporations contracted with Sanchez-Delgado in an attempt to avoid criminal responsibilities for labor violations, officials said.

Sanchez-Delgado, who is undocumented himself, provided hundreds of illegal workers, officials said.

Sanchez-Delgado was paid by the companies. He also took money from the alien workforce by purporting to withhold state and federal employment taxes and converting the money to his own use, officials said. The undocumented workers also were required to cash their paychecks at one of Sanchez-Delgado’s businesses and pay a check-cashing fee of $50 to $75. Sanchez-Delgado generated more than $5.6 million through this scheme, officials said.
