Employee Resigns After Investigation Finds Failure to Disclose Felony Conviction

An Amtrak electrical journeyman based in Miami, Florida, resigned from his position on April 19, 2024, as a result of our investigation. We found that the former employee violated company policies by failing to disclose a felony criminal conviction on his background investigation questionnaire when he was hired in 2014. In addition, he violated company policies by failing to notify the company of his pending deportation order that resulted from his arrest for alien inadmissibility per the Immigration and Nationality Act and his ineligibility to legally work within the United States since 2019.
