Atlantic restuarant closes after arrest of illegal immigrants






ATLANTIC, Iowa An Atlantic restaurant has closed after a raid that led to the arrests of five illegal immigrants.

Officials with the U-S Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested three illegal immigrants at the China Garden restaurant in Atlantic and two illegal immigrants at the Panda Gardens restaurant in Harlan.

Immigration officials say two of the immigrants were from China and three were from Mexico.

As a result of the operations conducted last week, public health officials inspected the China Garden restaurant and subsequently closed it for a variety of violations.

I-C-E spokesman Tim Counts says all five illegal immigrants were charged with being in the country illegally. He says a hearing will be scheduled in the next few weeks to determine if they would be deported. The names of the people arrested were not released.
