U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents visited approximately 30 Chipotle Mexican Grill restaurants on Tuesday in an ongoing criminal investigation into the hiring practices of the Denver-based firm, according to Robert Luskin, the Washington-based lawyer representing the company.
Luskin said the restaurants were located around the United States with no primary geographical focus. Restaurants were visited in Georgia, California, the District of Columbia, Minnesota, among other locations, he said.
“They spoke to employees and managers and in some cases served subpoenas,” said Luskin, a lawyer for the Patton Boggs law firm.
