BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- The owner of one of Canton’s most popular waterfront restaurants, The Boathouse, says more than 30 immigrant workers left in fear after a Department of Homeland Security worker hand-delivered a letter demanding documentation of their immigration status.That stunned the eatery’s customers.
"It seems like terrorizing people who are trying to work at the restaurant," says customer Michelle Zhang. "It’s not only bad for for the business but it’s bad for the families."
"If that many left... are they not following the policy?" asks Ryan Horan, another customer. "Are they not doing it the way they should be doing it?"
Owner Gene Singleton insists his business was in compliance with immigration law.
