More than 30 employees are out of a job at The Boathouse Canton restaurant after a request for immigration paperwork.

The restaurant’s owner released a statement over the weekend saying the Immigration Division of Homeland Security requested that all employment files be turned over last Thursday to review I-9 immigration documentation.

“Based on our Government’s current practices of targeting the Hispanic Community, properly documented and potentially less than properly documented are all fearful of being separated from their families, many with small children,” the owner said in a letter shared on Facebook. “Many went home to pack up and leave. This was a sad, emotional, tragic event. It has been confirmed that The BoatHouse’s policies and records are in compliance.”

The letter said the launch of its new summer menu will be postponed as a result. Remaining workers have also created the “Heart of the House Fund,” which will donate a portion of all revenues to help the restaurant’s displaced families.

The owner went on to apologize to customers. Anyone who dined at the location on Friday, June 23 can bring in their receipt for 50 percent off their next meal.
