Chipotle Mexican Grill said on Thursday that it had fired a substantial number of the 1,200 employees at its 50 Minnesota restaurants after a federal immigration audit found some were illegal workers.

The circumstances of the firings, which began in early December, sparked a protest by several dozen people around noon on Thursday at a downtown Minneapolis Chipotle restaurant. Minneapolis police arrested eight participants after they chained themselves together inside the restaurant. They were cited for trespassing.

WTF do they have to protest about? They were illegals. You come here illegally, you deal with the consequences.

DFWM gtg? I wonder how well their business really will pick up.

So why weren't they arrested? If you are here illegally and are caught you should be deported, not fired.

Immigrants?




...Off topic, but did anyone notice the homes for sale down in the bottom right corner? I refreshed a couple times and saw a 4 bedroom 1 bath and then a 5 bedroom 1 bath. Crazy Minnesotans. Or maybe that's where all the immigrants are living. lol
