Federal agents say a Metro Detroit plumbing company wasn’t just fixing pipes. According to reporting from Lauren Edwards at FOX 2 Detroit, federal prosecutors allege that Moises Orduna-Rios, 36, and his wife, Raquel Orduna-Rios, 30, built a $74 million plumbing empire by secretly relying on hundreds of undocumented workers scattered across multiple states. The couple, who live in Plymouth, Michigan, are now facing a long list of serious federal charges. Lauren Edwards reports that the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of New York investigated the Orduna-Rioses between January 2022 and August 2025. During that period, prosecutors say their company, Orduna Plumbing, employed 253 workers, and that the vast majority were not authorized to work in the United States. Edwards says the Justice Department accuses the couple of conspiracy, transporting and harboring unauthorized aliens for commercial advantage or private financial gain, and money laundering, among other charges.
