Agents from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency detained five workers at the China Buffet restaurant Saturday.

According to patrons of the restaurant, agents entered the restaurant and began asking staff members for their identification and Social Security cards. Six of the workers were taken outside and interviewed and their identifications checked. Five of the six were detained, handcuffed and taken away in a passenger van.

The workers detained appeared to be ethnic Chinese.

Agents at the scene would not comment on the raid. One officer referred all questions to ICE’s Chicago office. Personnel at that office could not be reached Saturday.

The China Buffet is located at 2703 Caragana Court, across U.S. 33 from the entrance to the Super Wal-Mart.
