FILE - This Oct. 26, 2017, file photo shows the mountains surrounding Hildale, Ut., and its sister city, Colorado City, Ariz., at sunset, in a community on the Utah-Arizona border that has been home for more than a century to a polygamous sect that is an offshoot of mainstream Mormonism. A judge is ordering a Utah contractor with ties to a polygamous group on the Utah-Arizona border to pay a total of more than $1 million in back wages to children who prosecutors say were forced to pick pecans from 2008-2013. U.S. District Judge Tena Campbell made her Tuesday, July 2, 2019, ruling based on the Department of Labor's determination that 104 workers were eligible for back pay from Paragon Contractors. The department says the majority worked an average of six days per week and about three months each year. (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer, File)
