Court documents show Gonzalez-Rosales is also in the country illegally.<\/p>\n<h2>Timeline of the investigation<\/h2>\n<p>Court documents provide a timeline of the federal investigation. ICE received a tip in February 2025 that Zipps was using undocumented workers. In March, agents issued a Notice of Inspection to all Zipps locations and their corporate headquarters.<\/p>\n<p>Ten months later, search warrants and the raid followed. <\/p>\n<h2>Manager\u2019s role in hiring scheme<\/h2>\n<p>Records show Gonzalez-Rosales told investigators he was promoted within the past year to oversee the kitchen staff. He admitted that on Oct. 17, 2024, he sent a photograph via text message to Miguel Torres that included an Arizona driver\u2019s license and Social Security card for \u201cJJZ\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>According to court documents, Gonzalez-Rosales stated that JJZ was a real individual who had applied to work at Zipps. He sent the identification to Torres to obtain employment with Zipps.<\/p>\n<p>Court documents show ICE arrested 39 undocumented immigrants working at Zipps in all.<\/p>\n<p>Darius Amiri, an immigration attorney, said he spoke with several of those arrested.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/tucsonmovingreport.com\/?p=1460\">Teens gain aviation skills through PCC summer program<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe concern was just kind of what was going to happen to me in terms of the criminal side, am I going to be sentenced, am I going to be in prison?\u201d Amiri said. \u201cAnd following that, if and when I go to ICE, what happens there?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amiri said the sentence seemed like a reasonable conclusion to what happened.<\/p>\n<p>Gonzalez-Rosales is fighting possible deportation. Amiri said his chances of remaining in the country are tough given the current climate.<\/p>\n<p>Emails to the US Attorney\u2019s Office and Gonzalez-Rosales\u2019s attorney have not been returned.<\/p>\n<p>Zipps declined to comment. <\/p>\n<p><i>See a spelling or grammatical error in our story? <\/i><i>Please click here to report it<\/i><i>.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Do you have a photo or video of a breaking news story?
