Detroit-Area Restaurant: Couple and Defence Lawyers

detroit-area restaurant: The immigrants died in 2016 while living in the home's basement, according to Metro News. Roger Tam and his wife, Ada Mei Lei, appeared for their sentencing hearing Tuesday after pleading guilty to harbouring immigrants. The teenager and four men from Mexico were illegally living in the U.S. and working at a Detroit-area restaurant that was also owned by the couple. But the hearing was postponed until Jan. 4 because the interpreter didn't speak Cantonese. Defence lawyers say the couple didn't create such a risk. The couple could face years in prison if a federal judge believes they created a high risk of death. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
