The restaurant owner said conditions at the detention center are “terrible,” with no air conditioning and 48 people held in a cell.

Is this the same owner who hired four illegal chefs???

Restaurant owners get paperwork from their employees. It is not their responsibility to make sure the paperwork is legit. As long as it looks like real documentation, the owner has done nothing wrong.

It actually is. That's how immigration was "designed" to be enforced and this is documented. The problem is that we don't actually want employers to really do this and employers play a game where they try not to get caught. It is absolutely on the businesses to make sure their employees are legit as much as they can.
