Journalist Savannah Hernandez reports from the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City, where Jackson Hewitt employees were seen handing out flyers to illegal immigrants. The flyers promise tax refunds of up to $14,000 for families, regardless of work history. Hernandez notes that Jackson Hewitt was previously sued by the DOJ for tax fraud in 2007 and suggests that similar fraudulent activity is being encouraged within sanctuary cities.

Employees from Jackson Hewitt were filmed outside the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City distributing flyers to migrants promising maximum tax refunds of over $14,000 for those with children. The employees reportedly became confrontational when identified by journalists, citing legal concerns regarding their outreach at migrant shelters. New York City has reportedly spent $7 billion on migrant services over the last two years, even as major shelters are scheduled to close in mid-2025.
