An Arizona taco chain was forced to close seven of its restaurants after dozens of its workers were detained by ICE.
Taco Giro, which operates nine locations in the state and one in Mexico, lost about 10 percent of its staff after ICE agents raided their homes.
Cesar Rodriguez, director of operations for eatery, confirmed the seven closures to the Tucson Sentinel, though three have since reopened.
Forty-six workers were swept up in the raids, which were part of an operation by the Department of Homeland Security, the Internal Revenue Service and other federal agencies.
'Basically, they corralled everyone in the homes where they were living, which was a couple of houses,' Rodriguez told the publication.
'And they came into the establishment to verify documentation and some questioning items what they were investigating on and pretty much that was it.'
One of the Taco Giro outposts, located at the Country Club of Green Valley, lost about six employees, Rodriguez said, noting no agents turned up at the restaurant.
'The accusation is they were paying the employees that were undocumented cash under the table,' Rodriguez told the publication.

:: you can have authentic Chinese food cooked by authentic Mexicans ::
In Chicago, the quality of the Chinese Buffet is directly related to the number of Hispanics* in the kitchen.
* I use the term ‘Hispanics’ because diversity in nationality is their strength.
Hire legal Americans, no matter the nationality and you won’t have a problem.
Yet, the article makes it seem like we should be sympathetic to all the above? Go ICE!
Lots of false positives on those I-9s.
They only have 19 million left to hire.
Which is worthy of jail time.
Exactly.
Pronto.
What we ALL voted for.
Big time.
Kaopectate sales hit hardest.
TB Robot: Would you like to add X?
Hungry me: No, thanks.
X added. Would you like to add Y as well?
NO!
Y added. You will drive around now, meat bag.
“This is why we need more Hindus.” The cheap labor lobby
True enough that the heritage seems to be changing as
time goes on be for good or bad. Round'em up, ride'em in
Did this happen on Taco Tuesday? It could be anarchy.
Depending on slave labor has caused Democrats economic woes before.
It would have been almost real journalism if the “reporter” had told us where these restaurants ARE, other than 8 in Arizona and 1 in Mexico.
We have a Taco Giro in our small town of Sierra Vista. They’ve been closed for a while.
Now fine the taco shops.
“they don’t follow hiring laws against discrimination“
Don’t let anyone ever tell you there’s no job discrimination. I’ve heard four different managers say they don’t hire Americans, especially Blacks.
They’re quite open about it.
Of course all four were not natural born Americans so the law doesn’t apply to them.
