ST. LOUIS - A federal grand jury indicted two St. Charles County men for allegedly harboring undocumented migrant workers.
Guo L. Ye and De J. Ye, both 56, were each charged with one count of bringing in and harboring aliens. Prosecutors with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Missouri said the two men knew the migrants they were housing were in the country illegally.
FBI and members of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested the men on Tuesday.
If convicted, each man faces up to 10 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine.
The indictments follow a series of raids at the Golden Apple Buffet in St. Peters and two homes in St. Charles County.
