In December, Victorina Morales, a Guatemalan living in the U.S. without legal documentation, revealed that she was an employee of Trump’s New Jersey golf club. According to her, a supervisor at the club helped her obtain fake working papers. She decided to speak out because of the abusive working conditions at the golf club.

“We need to come out and defend ourselves. I had enough with sufferings, said Morales as quoted by The Guardian. She added that at least a dozen workers at the golf club have no legal documentation to live and work in the United States. A supervisor at the club mocked them as “dogs” and “donkeys.”  The New York Times first reported about Morales employment history at Trump’s gold club.

Anibal Romero, a lawyer representing Morales another employee at the golf club said her “clients and others were repeatedly subjected to abuse, called racial epithets, and threatened with deportation.”
