Chipotle Mexican Grill said Thursday it has fired a substantial number of the 1,200 employees at its 50 Minnesota restaurants after a federal immigration audit found some were illegal workers.
The circumstances of the firings, which began in early December, prompted a noon protest Thursday at a downtown Minneapolis Chipotle restaurant. Minneapolis police arrested eight participants after they chained themselves together inside the restaurant, according to protest organizers.
While Denver-based Chipotle would not disclose how many Minnesota workers were fired for allegedly working illegally, protesters said the number was 700. The federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement group, which conducted the Chipotle worker audit, declined to comment. However, a source close to the situation said the number of Minnesota employees fired was closer to 350.
Chipotle has apparently replaced the terminated employees. Its Minnesota employment was 1,200 both before and after the firings, said spokesman Chris Arnold
