CARSON City, Nevada -- Fear of raids and arrests caused McDonald's restaurants around Carson City to close or cut back operations Thursday and Friday following the arrests of 54 accused illegal immigrants at 11 fast-food restaurants and a franchise headquarters in Reno and Fernley, according to the popular fast food chain and critics of the raids.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said the arrests on Thursday were part of a five-month investigation that was initiated by reports of identity theft.
Richard Rocha, a representative with the agency, said the workers were in the country illegally so they should be arrested.
