On January 18, the employees were asked individually met with a Trump human resources representative who let them go, according to The Post. The employees and their attorney told the newspaper they were fired because they were unauthorized immigrants. Workers were reportedly told staff had examined the immigration documents and discovered they were fake, despite the documents being held for years on file. "I started to cry," said Gabriel Sedano, a maintenance worker from Mexico who was employed at the club since 2005, told The Post. "I told them they needed to consider us. I had worked almost 15 years for them in this club, and I'd given the best of myself to this job."
