ICE sweeps nearly 100 7-Eleven stores in immigration probe

Matt PearceContact Reporter
 
Federal immigration agents targeted nearly 100 7-Eleven stores across the nation for audits and inspections Wednesday morning in one of the most sweeping illegal immigration probes taken against an employer under the Trump administration.

Twenty-one people were arrested on suspicion of being in the country illegally as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents served inspection notices at convenience stores in 17 states, including California, and in the District of Columbia, officials said.

7-11 stores are actually a major source of immigration problems, as well as human trafficking.

Sounds like profiling.

Can Home Depot be far behind?
I hope they're next.
Just round up people on the edges of the parking lot.
Wouldn't be that hard.

I wonder if this why mine was the only care in the 7-11 parking lot I stopped in???   

Literally, it was just me and it's usually packed.

Maybe they all know what time you usually show up?  Do you wear loud perfume?

In a statement, 7-Eleven Inc., based in Irving, Tex., distanced itself from the situation, saying that the individual stores are franchises that belong to independent business owners, who “are solely responsible for their employees, including deciding who to hire and verifying their eligibility to work in the United States.”

Statement sent to me from 7-11, Inc: “7-11 Franchisees are independent business owners & are solely responsible for their employees including deciding who to hire & verifying their eligibility to work in the US.

This requires 7-11 franchisees to verify work eligibility in the US for all their prospective employees prior to hiring. 7-11 takes compliance with immigration laws seriously & has terminated the franchise agreements of franchisees convicted of violating these laws.” (2/2)

ICE sweeps nearly 100 7-Eleven stores in immigration probe

If ICE is sweeping up these stores, the illegals won't have anything to do at work but stand around. I don't understand why ICE is doing them any favors.
