Roach problem, moldy produce, flies landing on food at Wichita KS restaurants

Living and dead roaches on glue traps throughout a restaurant kitchen, moldy and damaged fruits and vegetables, employees who didn't wash their hands and change gloves properly before handling customer food, dishes that weren't sanitized, old food, flies landing on food and more are among violations Kansas Department of Agriculture inspectors discovered during recent food safety and lodging inspections in the Wichita area. Each week, The Eagle adds to its searchable database of failed inspections from Sedgwick County. Six restaurants and other businesses were non-compliant with state regulations from May 18-24. Inspectors found few or no violations at more than 50 other locations deemed compliant with food safety and lodging rules. Inspections are meant to protect the public from foodborne illnesses and other health risks. Locations can fail if they have too many problems, certain types of violations or issues that can't be fixed right away. Violations are common. Most of the time, businesses correct issues in front of an inspector. Examples of things that can be addressed immediately are serving food that's more than a week old, employees mishandling ingredients and dirty kitchens. Issues that take longer to correct include pest infestations, power outages and plumbing problems. It's rare, but a business may temporarily shut down over violations. Places that fail are usually reinspected within 10 days. The list in this story was compiled on May 28 using information available from the state on that date. It covers Sedgwick County.

Feds arrest 36 Chinese, Taiwanese citizens in SoCal underground nightclub raid

LOS ANGELES - Federal agents raided a nightclub early Friday and arrested 36 Chinese and Taiwanese citizens suspected of being in the country illegally, authorities said. Los Angeles Homeland Security officers, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and members of the El Camino Real Financial Crimes Task Force made the arrests during "an enforcement operation in an underground nightclub" according to a statement shared on X. A video shared by HSI Los Angeles shows an officer donning a vest in a parking lot before sunrise, before cutting to a daylight scene of a group of people huddled on the sidewalk outside a building, some with their heads bowed. Officers are shown handcuffing the individuals and loading them into white vans. It is not clear where the underground nightclub is located. Further details on the investigation were not immediately available. The role of the El Camino Real Financial Crimes Task Force in the raid was also unclear. The group is a multi-agency initiative of federal and state investigators focused on financial crimes in Southern California. Members include HSI Los Angeles, the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigations, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California and the California Department of Justice. On Wednesday, an investigation involving the task force led to the arrest of 14 individuals - including San Fernando Valley and Glendale residents - who were accused of being part of a transnational criminal network that fraudulently obtained more than $25 million in COVID-19 relief funds. Friday's immigration enforcement action comes as ICE works to comply with President Donald Trump's orders to ramp up the pace of arrests and deportations across the nation. On Thursday, the agency announced that it achieved its highest number of arrests in history this week. On Monday, HSI Los Angeles arrested 12 Mexican citizens on suspicion of being unlawfully present in the U.S. after they traveled in a small boat from Mexico to Long Beach. In April, an estimated two dozen day laborers were detained in a U.S. Customs and Border Protection action outside of a Home Depot in Pomona. Earlier in the year, CBP agents conducted a three-day raid in rural parts of Kern County targeting day laborers and Latino farmworkers. Copyright (C) 2025, Tribune Content Agency, LLC.
