Sheriff's deputies make migrant raids on Sizzlers

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's deputies on Saturday served search warrants on two Sizzler steak houses in Phoenix suspected of employing illegal immigrants.

According to a statement from Lt. Brian Lee, deputies arrested nine employees who they believe are using fraudulent identification to gain employment.

The Sizzlers targeted in the raid are located at 5060 W. Indian School Road and 10460 N. 28th Drive, the statement said.

Saturday's arrests followed a year-long investigation into a tip from a former manager who claims he was fired by the restaurant for being unwilling to hire employees without proper identification, Lee said.

The manager was reportedly offered three months severance for not going to law enforcement, Lee said. He said deputies were looking for 23 suspects wanted for identity theft, including one who has been deported three times and has been hired back by Sizzler each time upon his return.

Sheriff Arpaio said, "This is another example of a case where desperately needed jobs are being occupied by illegal aliens who have disregarded our laws and our borders."

The Sheriff's Office said a manager at the Indian School location was fined $1,000 by the federal government in the late 1980s for knowingly hiring illegal immigrants.

When asked about the raids, an employee answering the phone at the Sizzler location near the Metrocenter Mall said, "We're not interested in a (newspaper) subscription" and ended the call.

Maricopa County sheriff's deputies raided two restaurants to arrest nine employees who were suspected of being illegal immigrants and using fraudulent documents to get jobs.

The raid was made as a part of an investigation into whether the operators of two Sizzler Steakhouse locations in west Phoenix broke a civil law by knowingly hiring illegal immigrants.

The sheriff's office says it received a tip from a former Sizzler manager who claimed he had been fired for his refusal to hire employees without the proper documents.

A message left at one of the two restaurants wasn't immediately returned Saturday afternoon. A manager at the other restaurant declined to provide his name and publicly comment on the raid.

This is the type of mass corruption that mass illegal immigration causes.

They definitely knowingly hired this illegal THREE times. Hope this business loses every dime they have.

What will be interesting to follow is how the new (old) County Atty will handel this under state law. The former CA Andrew Thomas worked with Joe Arpaio and Rick Romley doesn't want to abide by some of the state laws, like. On smuggling, I don't know what he'll do with employers sanction laws. This is a blatant violation. (The same law that the Justice Dept. now wants to overturn.)

A friend of mine that lived in Reno, NV, said he would see employees in the casinos and get to know them, calling them the name on their name tag. Then they would get busted for ID issues and he would see them in another casino with a different name. When he would call them by the name he knew them by, because he wasn't close enough to read their name tags, they would not respond. When he got closer he would see a different name. He couldn't figure out if they were just ignoring him when he called them or they didn't remember their prior alias.
