A former Zipps kitchen manager was sentenced to five months in prison for providing fraudulent identification to undocumented workers, part of a broader ICE investigation that led to raids on multiple Zipps locations.

• The manager admitted to sharing a photo of a driver's license and Social Security card to help a friend get a job.
• The investigation followed a tip about illegal hiring practices and led to raids on 15 Zipps locations.
• Three other employees also faced charges but took plea deals, while the manager's attorney called him a 'scapegoat' for the company's practices.
• After serving his sentence, the manager may be deported as an undocumented worker.
