he Trump Administration’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) unit has arrested the owner of a Phoenix-based taco restaurant for employing — and allegedly smuggling — illegal aliens.
Blademir Angulo Audeves, a 42-year-old illegal alien himself, was arrested Tuesday and hit with multiple federal charges, including harboring illegal aliens, employing unauthorized workers, and illegal possession of firearms, as part of Operation Take Back America, Arizona’s Family reported.
Angulo, who runs the popular Taqueria El Taco Loko on 67th Avenue and Indian School Road — along with a mobile taco trailer and taco bus — was found to have housed and employed at least 12 illegal aliens at his properties in Laveen and Maricopa.
Federal agents raided Angulo’s homes and businesses and found three firearms, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, and a network of foreign nationals reportedly smuggled into the country and working under-the-table.
~Snip~
Despite being previously deported in 2021, Angulo admitted he illegally re-entered the U.S. just months later. Prosecutors say he paid workers in cash and checks to dodge employment verification laws.
More from the DOJ:

Blademir Angulo Audeves, 42, of Mexico, was arrested on July 8, and charged by criminal complaint for Harboring of an Illegal Alien, Knowingly Employing Unauthorized Aliens, Improper Entry by an Alien, and Alien in Possession of a Firearm. Angulo will have his initial appearance in federal court today.​

Commentary:
How does a 42-year-old illegal alien become a business owner in America?
if there's one thing Arizonans know about it's political corruption in their state and local governments.
I wish a Tom Homan, could come along and shake up these crooks and put them in the slammer where they belong.
The State needs multiple Sheriff Arpaio's to clean up the state. He was a great sheriff that was harpooned by the leftist media and voted out by a combination of California and New York DSA Marxist Leftists, stupid bleeding-heart liberals and illegal voters.
Here's how we Americans citizens can help to deport the illegals....

Around here it is Mexicans abusing Mexicans, especially Mexican restaurant owners; they will not pay them until they feel like it and routinely short them and work them long hours, for instance. Same with the gardeners and lawn mowers and construction contractors, and warehouses and dock lumpers. That;s why so many 'independent contractors' are running around crying over deportations; they're just labor racketeers, is all.

Armed and dangerous North Texas Antifa gunman fugitive Benjamin Song has just been captured, and two more of his comrades have been charged for allegedly abetting his escape.

Benjamin Hanil Takeshi Song, 32, had been evading arrest from the FBI following the ambush shooting on the Prairieland Detention Center, an ICE facility, on the Fourth of July. Between 20 and 30 rounds were fired at the agents and responding police in Alvarado, Texas. One local officer was shot in the neck and survived.

11 members or associates of the heavily armed cell have been federally charged so far with attempted murder and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence. They also face local terrorism charges. At least 14 firearms have been recovered in the investigation, in addition to a cache of ammunition and body armor.

I'm sure the DISGUSTING FILTH will be all over this

If they make good tacos, chain them to the truck until their immigration hearing. 'Stay at the taco truck' policy.

That;s why so many 'independent contractors' are running around crying over deportations; they're just labor racketeers, is all.

I live in a farming area. I heard several years ago that many of the local farms hired a management company from Texas to get laborers to pick the crops. Of course all of those laborers were illegals the management company hired. This way the local farmers could just throw their hands up in the air and say, "Hey we didn't know they were illegals and we didn't hire them, the management company hired them. We don't have anything to do with who the management company hires". Then, every year, the management company went out of business and then formed a new business under a different name just in time for the following year.
