At Least 56 Arrested in Immigration Raids at McDonald's

RENO, Nev — Federal agents raided 11 McDonald's restaurants in northern Nevada and made dozens of arrests Thursday as part of an investigation into illegal immigration.

Agents for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement made at least 56 arrests in Reno, Sparks and Fernley after raids at the restaurants and a franchise corporate headquarters in Reno, agency spokesman Richard Rocha said.

"They are people suspected of being in the country illegally. As far as I know, they were all McDonald's employees," he told The Associated Press.

The investigation began five months ago and was sparked by an identity theft complaint, Rocha said. A local law enforcement agency then gave ICE information that illegal immigrants were working at specific McDonald's restaurants, he said.

Lisa Howard, a spokeswoman for McDonald's Corp., based in Oak Brook, Ill., said the company had no comment on the arrests.

"This is a local situation with a local operator," she said.

The raids drew immediate criticism from Reno Mayor Bob Cashell and activists, who estimated the number of arrests to be closer to 100.

Next, ICE ought to hit every fast-food restaurant in Rockville, Maryland. I swear that no one in any of them “habla ingles,” except for knowing the various combo numbers.

Dunkin Donuts revoked the franchises of any who were found to be hiring illegals.

I agree and close to mine!

Start building the fence.
It should be made a felony for Criminals who overstay their visas and Invaders.

I believe we should give amnesty to these poor CRIMINALS or INVADERS.
This should be a 2 week amnesty to get the heck out of our Country.
The ones who ignore this amnesty should be buried in a tent city jail and fined $10,000 or buried elsewhere.
All aiders and abettors of these CRIMINALS or INVADERS should get 1 year in a tent city jail and a $10,000 fine for each CRIMINAL aided.
Those in government should be the first ones charged.

Does that mean the breakfast burritos will not be on the menu anymore?

Darn, I love those with the little sausage balls and the fake cheese.

Korean BBQ restaurants in the D.C. area, as well as New Jersey, Georgia, California, etc. are themselves run by about 50% illegal aliens from South Korea, and the kitchen staff are overwhelmingly Hispanic, on dirt cheap wages (hey! Koreans know how to milk the system and make a buck!!), and I would venture that at least 90% of the Hispanic workers are themselves ILLEGAL. It is a massive racket I.C.E. should look into. It is endemic and even Korean press in the USA wrote about it and admitted it.

11 McDonald's restaurants in northern Nevada

Great ad idea for Mickey D's.

9 out of 10 illegal aliens prefer McDonald's to Taco Bell.

Before we deport them, they should be brought by the buss load to pick up the garbage they leave by the tons in the desert.

We see prisoners on road gangs picking up litter on the side of our roads all the time.

What these animals leave in their camps is beyond disgusting.

"We don't approve of the Gestapo methods ICE is using," said Gilbert Cortez, a Latino leader who urged Hispanic workers to stay home from work in protest Friday. "Who is this man and what is he doing here?!"

This just in: McDonalds has killed more minorities through the unhealthy contents of its food than firearms and traffic accidents combined. McDonalds is therefore racist.

IF they treated the illegal alien arrests like they do a pot arrests and confiscated the store for auction there would be no illegal aliens working fast food.
