A New Jersey federal judge has dismissed two racketeering charges in a lawsuit brought by illegal immigrants who worked as Wal-Mart janitors, finding that they failed to explain how any violations of U.S. immigration law caused them economic harm. The lawsuit claimed that Wal-Mart conspired with contractors to violate RICO by systematically depriving the workers of legal protections. The suit's other charges, including failure to pay overtime and minimum wages, still stand; no trial has been scheduled.
