BARBOURSVILLE, W.Va. (WOWK) – United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers raided the Tortilla Factory, a restaurant in Barboursville, West Virginia, on Friday, August 16, 2019, according to Cabell County Sheriff Chuck Zerkle. Sheriff Zerkle says the Cabell County Sheriff’s Office was not involved.
Details about the raid are limited at this time but a sign hung on the door of the restaurant reads, “Hungry? Thank ICE. Montani Semper Liberi.”
A bystander near the restaurant tells WOWK 13 News that he saw ICE officers with employees around 9:30 AM and another person says he believes this is the third time the restaurant has had to close its doors for employing undocumented workers.
Earlier on Friday, Andrew Stacy, the communications manager with the City of Morgantown, said that the Morgantown Police Department was notified last week that ICE would be operating in the area. ICE did not provide any further details about the nature of the work it would be doing or on the time frame for that work, according to Stacy. The Morgantown Police Department is not assisting ICE with its operations, said Stacy.

Repeat offender? Sounds deliberate
Good. Deport all illegals. Fine their employers if they knew or should have known the immigration status of those criminals employees. No exceptions.
Tortilla factory? Sounds racist
Start arresting employers and illegal aliens will go home on their own when they cannot find work because no one wants to go to jail to hire them.
Nothing will change till they start fining employers big time.
“But we can’t find any hillbillies who know how to make tortillas!”
The Morgantown Police Department is not assisting ICE with its operations, said Stacy.

Why the hell aren’t they?
They appear to be siding with illegal aliens against the citizens and the rule of law.
prison
not credible. Tortillas in WV. LOL. Cornbread, biscuits, but not tortillas.
Some businesses just see fines as a cost of doing business, jail time will change their minds about employing fraudulently documented foreigners.
Every state in the country has been overrun.
A small town with a pop of some 4200.
Someone has to feed the locals.
They could always hire Jeb.
No. Thank the illegal-loving owner.
If this is the third time the business has been caught hiring illegals, it should have already been shutdown permanently and the management doing hard time.
“Why the hell aren’t they?
They appear to be siding with illegal aliens against the citizens and the rule of law.”

I guess they are not taken to local jails with Deputy Barney Fife and taken some where else. Makes sense, no bail for them this time.
If the fine was $10,000 per illegal employee it might change their minds.
“Details about the raid are limited at this time but a sign hung on the door of the restaurant reads, “Hungry? Thank ICE. Montani Semper Liberi.”
No. Thank the illegal-loving owner. “
You guys are gonna love me!! I found the owner. Someone from Bookface said”
“The Tortilla Factory officially opened it’s doors on Monday, March 23. It is co-owned and managed by Jose Lopez also a part-owner behind the popular South Charleston-based restaurant Los Agaves.”
