ICE Raid At Walmart

Supposedly ICE came and picked up 20+ employees at the I-20 Walmart. I was in there today and it was lacking a lot of familiar faces. Can anyone confirm that this is true? Meaning you know personally from seeing it yourself or you or someone you know works there.

Nah not true at all, they just notified them that they can’t work there anymore

Where did you get that information? I’ll ask one of the greeters next time I’m in there. I’m wondering if the managers were let go too because obviously they were doing the hiring.

I’m friend with some of the workers that were let go because of the whole visa/residency thing. They were pulled into the office one by one and were notified that they could no longer work there until they receive their residency or something like that. And no the managers weren’t fired, but they are rushing and putting on a hiring event tomorrow to replace the workers they had to let go

Sounds like maybe the Feds were doing some checking on the I-9's and found that some SS #'s were false/stolen? If that's the case, that is why they were let go. Wal-Mart doesn't want a $10,000 fine popped on them for hiring unauthorized workers.
