Federal immigration officers who took part in a legally-sanctioned raid at a Michigan restaurant adopted some innovative ways to ensure that the illegal aliens that they are about to arrest are taken by surprise to prevent them from running underground or seek sanctuary somewhere.
Six U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents came to the Ann Arbor restaurant Sava’s last 24 May, owner Sava Lelcaj said to reporters. Allegedly, there were two officers that were stationed at the front door, two stood at the back exit and two entered the restaurant and had breakfast at the bar with a view of the kitchen.
The officers who came inside did not initially identify themselves as ICE agents. They dined on waffles with bacon and egg whites with toast before inquiring about a kitchen worker who was not there, Lelcaj told a leftist false news spreader HuffPost.
About the same time, line cook Carlos Rivera-Ochoa took out the trash in the back when officers slapped handcuffs on him, according to Lelcaj. Rivera-Ochoa told MLive he carries his permanent residency card with him, and he was released shortly after being taken into a vehicle and fingerprinted.
But when three other cooks in the kitchen saw officers confront Rivera-Ochoa, they "panicked," Lelcaj said, and ran out the front door and were then arrested. Nice work! This is where the taxpayer's money is well spent.
Rachael Yong Yow, ICE public affairs officer, said the agents were "conducting a targeted enforcement action" and arrested the three men on immigration violations. Two men who were detained had unlawfully entered the country, Yong Yow said, and the third had entered lawfully "but did not depart in accordance with the terms of his status."
She said all three were in ICE custody, but Lelcaj said later that one of the employees had been released.
Lelcaj added that she conducts screenings when hiring employees and had believed that the men who were arrested were authorized to work in the U.S.
