Montezuma Mexican Restaurant in Waynesboro was one of three area locations raided by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement earlier this week. Montezuma restaurants in Chambersburg and Gettysburg were also part of the operation, which was conducted Wednesday.

According to ICE officials, the targeted enforcement operation resulted in the arrest of 11 individuals in violation of immigration law. All subjects are detained at York County Prison and are pending immigration proceedings.

"ICE regularly conducts targeted enforcement operations during which additional resources and personnel are dedicated to apprehending deportable foreign nationals," ICE officials said in a news release sent to The Record Herald. "All enforcement activities are conducted with the same level of professionalism and respect that ICE officers exhibit every day. The focus of these targeted enforcement operations is consistent with the routine, targeted arrests carried out by ICE’s Fugitive Operations Teams on a daily basis."

The release continued, "ICE deportation officers do not conduct sweeps or raids that target aliens indiscriminately. ICE’s enforcement actions are targeted and lead driven. ICE conducts targeted immigration enforcement in compliance with federal law and agency policy."

Montezuma remains open for business in Waynesboro. Requests for comments from the restaurant were not returned.
