Nunley said there is an investigation into illegal immigration in the area.The raid follows the arrest of 3 Mexican nationals in Harlan on charges of first-degree rape and first-degree unlawful imprisonment involving a 13-year-old girl. 2 of the men worked at the restaurant. El Charrito co-owner Francisco Roman said the restaurant closed because it had no employees after the raid.
