A wave of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) raids on Zipps Sports Grill locations in the Phoenix area has left employees shaken and locals anxious, in what federal authorities have described as part of a 'months-long criminal investigation.' The story is developing, with law enforcement releasing limited details and promising further updates as evidence is assessed.
In the early afternoon of Monday, 26 January, armed federal agents served search warrants at 15 Zipps Sports Grill establishments across the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Arizona. The warrants were approved by a federal judge and executed as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged felony violations of federal law.
