They left with scores of evidence and made a handful of immigration-related arrests.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was a coordinated effort among federal agents and local police which shut down the Super Mercado Jalisco No. 4 store on Buford Highway in Norcross and other stores in the chain across metro Atlanta.<\/p>\n<p>The IRS agents who were removing evidence from the Norcross store said \u201cNo Comment\u201d when asked by FOX 5 News reporter George Franco if they could talk about what they were doing.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Atlanta office of ICE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the IRS agents, Gwinnett County Police and Homeland Security Investigations agents, were part of a joint federal search warrant operation that covered six Super Mercado Jalisco stores in metro Atlanta.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an IRS led investigation and they are looking for whatever their investigation entails but we are assisting,\u201d said Lindsay Williams, the spokesman for ICE in Atlanta.<\/p>\n<p>FOX 5 News reached out to the IRS but did not get a response about what it\u2019s agents were searching for at the six Jalisco stores in Marietta, Lawrenceville, Norcross and other locations.<\/p>\n<p>ICE spokesman Lindsay Williams said Homeland Security Investigations, a division of ICE, encountered and took into custody three people in the US illegally during the operation. He said the individuals were a Mexican national and two Guatemalan nationals. He did not indicate their age or sex.<\/p>\n<p>Jasmine DeLaRosa, the manager of the Norcross store, said throughout the day customers were turned away at her store and others by the federal agents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey came around ten o\u2019clock, about ten, fifteen cops and&#8230;we have a warrant, we\u2019re closing down the store, they didn\u2019t let me talk to anybody,\u201d said DeLaRosa.<\/p>\n<p>She said employees were heavily scrutinized in what she believes was an over reach of authority.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey got all their information down. They took a picture of them so they have all their information now,\u201d said DeLaRosa.<\/p>\n<p>She said the heavy handed approach has tainted the reputation of the stores which cater to Hispanics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re hard working honest people and they are just giving us a bad rap right now,\u201d said DeLaRosa.<\/p>\n<p>On social media, a representative of the SuperMercado Jalisco chain said normal operations will resume Friday, adding no comment will he made about the investigation until the federal agencies involved release more information.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox5atlanta.com\/news\/federal-agents-raid-super-mercado-jalisco-stores-in-metro-atlanta\">Here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NORCROSS, Ga. &#8211; Federal agents raided a series of popular Hispanic supermarkets in metro Atlanta Thursday.
