ICE agents eat breakfast, compliment chef, then arrest 3 workers at Michigan restaurant

The owner of a Michigan restaurant said U.S. immigration agents who were conducting enforcement at the business ate breakfast — and complimented the chef — before arresting three workers, according to media reports on Thursday.

The Ann Arbor News reported that two of the men arrested Wednesday at Sava's Restaurant remain in custody. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said agents were doing "a targeted enforcement action" at the Ann Arbor restaurant.

ICE officials said two of the men entered the country illegally and another overstayed his visa. Authorities said the men tried to leave the restaurant before being arrested. Another man was handcuffed and briefly detained, then released after showing agents his permanent resident card.

Restaurant owner Sava Lelcaj told the newspaper several agents came to the restaurant near the University of Michigan, and two ate breakfast at the restaurant bar. One ate waffles and bacon and the other eggs and toast. Lelcaj said they praised the food before entering the kitchen area.

Yup.
Sounds like the manager is here legally and did her best to vet the two who were detained.

Why fine her?

Truth is this is a puff piece to make Trump look like a monster,and yeah I want him to focus on the illegal criminal element FIRST.
Terrorists, MS13..

The kitchen help aint top priority, the paper is making a big deal of this in an attempt to make Trump appear heartless.

Sometimes stories have the opposite effect. Like this one.

I like this story.

Or say for example...Trump shoving past a guy who isn’t even in Nato yet.

Many here , including me..didn’t have a problem with it.

It’s blatant what the paper is trying to do.

Dems never know when to walk it back.

Imagine life goes on at this restaurant.
Only the guys that broke the law were effected.

I bet I can still get 2 over easy, regular or scrambled.Heck my son could do that at age 7.

If corrupt Mexico would just sort its business these people would love to stay in the homeland.

Trump should bust Pena’s balls.

And why do Mexicans focus their outrage on the USA while ignoring the sins of the Spanish?

You want to see some racism? Go to Mexico.

Don't forget! Those doors must be ADA compliant. They must have wheelchair ramps and automatic doors. We don't want to discriminate against illegals with disabilities 🤑

My brother lived in India (legally) and had at least 5 restaurants.
Guess what happened?
The locals ran him out of businesses with harassment from the authority’s.

Seems they feel that he was an outsider cutting in on their market share.

Imagine that... Shocking!

The reports that first came out in Michigan (With much hand wringing by the whiners was that all three were legal and detained. This article alters that considerably. A good thing Journalists, like weather forcasters aren’t judged by the quality of their work

I always say I wish I was a weather forecaster.
Where else can you get the big bucks for being wrong 90% of the time?
