From the article it doesn't sound like any of his former employers attempted to help Petey.

Longtime Dallas line cook detained by ICE 🧑‍🍳🥟

Chefs are speaking out in support of Petey Feng, who was taken in by immigration officials.

“He’s basically a local legend. He has helped shape a lot of people. It’s really hard to see this happen because obviously they don’t know Petey the way Dallas does. They don’t know who he is in Dallas or for Dallas.”
