HADDON TOWNSHIP, New Jersey (WPVI) -- Jersey Kebab in Haddon Township reopened on Sunday.

The family-owned restaurant was forced to close last month after the owners were detained during an immigration raid.

Celal Emanet was released that day.

However, his wife, Emina, was detained for two weeks.

The family moved from Turkey to the U.S. in 2008, on a religious worker's visa.

They say they have been in the process of trying to obtain green cards since 2016.

Jersey Kebab reopened with a community celebration.
