Illegal Immigrant Crackdown at Chipotle

The feds have notified Chipotle stores in the D.C. area that they will be getting inspected to assess their compliance with immigration and employment laws.

Hardly a surprise sting operation, Chipotle seems confident, albiet frustrated, that they are in compliance with the law, in an interview with the Washington Examiner.

Chipotle has about 60 stores in the greater-D.C. area.

Are they being targeted because they are a Mexican restaurant?  Or because they often employ Mexican workers?

Maybe that is why Chipotle-founder Steve Ells is working on a new Asian-themed restaurant.
