Court documents allege Gonzalez-Rosales, the company’s kitchen hiring manager, knowingly assisted employees in using fraudulent documents to bypass the E-Verify system, leading to 39 arrests during Monday’s valley-wide operation. Federal authorities say they have charged a Zipps Sports Grill hiring manager with aggravated identity theft and the unlawful employment of illegal immigrants following a yearlong investigation into the restaurant chain. Thirty-nine employees were arrested in the raids for being "unlawfully present in the United States." As the individual responsible for hiring kitchen staff for all Zipps locations in Arizona, Gonzalez-Rosales is alleged to have recruited and hired illegal aliens at multiple locations, using fraudulent identification documents to verify their eligibility to work via the E-Verify online employment verification system. In total, 39 individuals unlawfully present in the United States and working at Zipps were taken into custody during the operation.
