The national restaurant industry is bracing for a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation that could round up hundreds of migrant families that have received deportation orders. Restaurant owners and worker advocates hope the operation, planned to start on Sunday, will not disrupt an industry already hurting for staff, or broaden into a wider investigation of employees not on the Trump administration's deportation lists.
President Donald Trump announced on Monday that the roundups would move forward despite debate within the administration over the potential humanitarian issues (separating children from their parents) and political fallout (alienating Democrats as Congress debates a $4.6 billion supplemental aid package to deal with the crisis at the border) of the operation to remove up to 2,000 families. News reports later confirmed that the Department of Homeland Security and ICE would proceed with "family op," as the agencies call the plan, in up to 10 major immigrant destinations such as Los Angeles, Houston, Miami and other cities.
Restaurant associations and immigrant advocacy groups across the country were sending out mass emails to members and workers this week, alerting them to their rights should ICE agents knock on their doors. The California Restaurant Association, the Illinois Restaurant Association, Restaurant Opportunities Centers United (which advocates for restaurant workers), South Asian Americans Leading Together (which advocates for the rights of South Asians in the United States) and the Restaurant Law Center (the legal affiliate of the National Restaurant Association) were among the groups alerting constituents about the expected ICE actions.

Gee, I feel so bad.
“The national restaurant industry is bracing for a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation that could round up hundreds of migrant families that have received deportation orders. “
So . . .
The association knowingly & willingly hires and protects criminal, illegal aliens.
They’re right up there with the National Chamber of Commerce.
I’ll eat at home from now on.
I’ll eat in.
are the restaurants aware that they are employing criminals - persons who have been ordered deported by a court of law????
If so that fact should be made public and restaurant names exposed so that potential customers are aware
Did these restaurants modify their menus so they will now be able to serve warrants on Sunday?
“You want Fries with your Arrest Warrant?”
*SNORT*
P.S. Again, I ask - WTF are they ADVERTISING these raids? Just. Do. It. We’ll read about it later. YEESH!
and does the me menu note all soups contain Mexican pee??
THE NEXT THING ON THE LIST TO ENABLE THE CONTINUANCE OF WORKERS IN THE INDUSTRY SHOULD BE TO ROUND UP ALL THE WELFARE CHEATS WHO ARE NOT WORKING BUT CAN!!!
Yes, ICE and the administration should not be advertising the raids to make them more effective. On the other hand, it could be subterfuge. Lots of ways to play the game....
“”” could round up hundreds of migrant families that have received deportation orders “””
hundreds of ILLEGAL ALIEN families that have received deportation orders
Out of 20,000,000 illegals, 2,000 are supposed to be rounded up.
1/10000
Waiter, my bill isn’t one penny.
Surrounded by Landscapers (got cut off)
Do some math. If a thousand “ families” are deported this weekend, that’s maybe 5 thousand people. Do that every weekend, and it’s 100 thousand people a year. Drop in the bucket, if you buy the 30 million illegals that are put out there. We need e-verify, and prosecutie employers that fail to comply. Self-deportation needs to happen.
Hire U.S. citizens instead of criminals. Problem solved.
I believe they are looking at movement, in many ways.
