Description

Marie Gertrude Jean Valmont and her daughter Yolandita Marie Andre, 30, were co-owners and operators of Velida's Care Home, pictured here on Southwest Omara Street in Tigard. The state suspended their license upon their arrests, according to a federal prosecutor.

Federal public defenders this week urged a judge to throw out an indictment against a Tigard woman accused of bringing three Haitian nationals to the U.S. and forcing them to work for $2 a day, alleging prosecutors withheld evidence and tried to bias witnesses by disparaging the defense team as “shady.”
