Contact your state office that handles this and file a complaint. Sue the employer in small claims court as well. Make sure you can prove this in both cases.

Can an employer force you to pay fica?

An employer is required by law to subtract FICA from your paycheck (or pay it himself and add the amount as additional income on your W-2) as well as pay his own share. Your employer will deduct the amount from your salary with or without your consent. In rare cases where the employer cannot deduct FICA from your salary (for example, you work mostly on tips and your salary is less than what you owe for FICA), your employer will simply report the uncollected amount to the IRS on your W-2 and whether you pay or not is between you and the IRS. Similarly, if you have unreported tips or self-employment, your employer will not get involved in whether or not you pay.
