Who had "sushi slavery ring" on their 2025 Bingo card?
In this case out of Arizona, workers were allegedly brought into the States to work daily shifts at a local sushi chain.
From AZ Family:
The owner and two managers of an Arizona sushi chain have been arrested on federal charges of harboring illegal immigrants and operating what investigators describe as a human trafficking operation across the East Valley.
Court documents allege Yung Lau, a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from China, along with two managers, including his brother, kept dozens of undocumented immigrants in four "stash houses" and forced them to work at restaurants seven days a week with no days off. The restaurants involved were Sakura Sushi in Gilbert, Mesa, and Phoenix and Akita Sushi in Scottsdale.
Federal agents raided the four restaurants and four houses last week, ending an operation that neighbors said was reported to local police as early as 2023.
Here's a local news report:
(Some of you will say the real crime is forcing Chinese people to make Japanese food.)
The illegals were crammed into local homes and barred from leaving except for the shuttle van that took them to work, essentially living as slaves in slave quarters.
A neighbor in Tempe said one of the stash houses always seemed sketchy:
'They had a white van and it would leave at 9 a.m. and come back at around 9 p.m. Right around dark with a van full of guys. They'd all walk in like this, looking down, no eye contact,' Forman said. 'I was just super uncomfortable with just the amount of guys and how nervous they looked.'
And another neighbor in Mesa:
'They were very self-conscious; if you looked at them, they turned their back,' Gallagher said. 'You would never see them outside.'
How many slave operations like this are taking place in the United States? Hundreds? Thousands?
Lau and Zhen Liu are both charged with harboring illegal aliens and knowingly employing unauthorized aliens.
Qin Liu, who is listed in court paperwork as being the brother of Lau, is charged with harboring illegal aliens.
The men are due in court on Monday.
