    >“Would your mama be proud of you right now?” one of the bystanders asked.

    hot take, if you let ICE eat in your restaurant you don’t care about your employees

    The audacity is off the charts.

    See my post from the other day. This is why you don’t let them in. Period.

    Your lobby and dining room is NOT A PUBLIC SPACE. That’s why it has doors that lock at night.

    The public has a license to enter freely granted by the business owner. It is not a right. You can prevent ANYONE from entering for any reason.

    They do not dine here. They do not use the bathroom. They do not buy water. They can fuck all the way off.

    Ppl need to start denying service.

    They are making these poor people work and then arresting them without paying. Fuck Trump

    Ha. I know the guy who was the founding editor of the source of the article. He’s smart and just demolished Bill O’Reilly. Meanwhile, I am just sitting over here in England hurling insults into the void. Good luck out there people in the Traitorous Former Colonies. We’re all pulling for you over here.

    When I saw this title, I thought it was “the Onion” at first.

    These days, the entire US news cycle seems like one long Onion publication…

    ICE walks into my restaurant, im turning into this guy real quick

    Edit for the one guy who thinks im being tough. This is just a reference to the scene where the woman sends her food back.

    “You cant mix mexican with continental, you’re better than that!”

    Fucking unmatched audacity. If you are in the restaurant industry, ICE should be the last person you let into the building.

  13. Hope the resturant had cameras and showed every “agent’s” face and post it online, since it would be one of the rare times they have to lower their mask in public.

    You see more every day, the depths of the evil in the hearts of men. They did this for sport. For a laugh.

    Why did the front of the house let them eat there? If you’re nice to ICE and you employ anyone legally or illegally from a different country, then you are a shitty employer.

  16. Personal-Antelope527

    Oh fuck this all to hell. I know a lot a places inside Minneapolis have started locking their doors so ICE can’t just walk in, it’s not great over here.

    Same rules apply here as Nazis in punk bars. I’m paraphrasing a conversation about kicking a man with nazi regalia out of his bar: If you let one in, then their buddies come in and before you know it, no one else will come in but him and his friends causing trouble and then you work at a nazi bar.

    Live in Mpls. I went to my neighborhood spot yesterday for lunch, Latino Owner and former Marine.

    It had a sign on locked door that said “closed for maintenance. indefinitely.”

    I did a quick search of other local taco/burrito spots within 10 mi and sure enough they were all closed. On a Thursday noon lunch rush.

    I was so sad to see that for them as a direct result of these ice fucks. Just the worst, bottom of the barrel pieces of shit.

    What I learned – after visiting a sandwich shop – is that ice is now donning plain clothes to get served as a work around. Ghouls.

    Literal Nazi shit. There are stories of the SS doing this

    I’m so glad my dad retired from the industry this year. He’s a permanent resident which apparently doesn’t mean shit to these dollar store storm troopers

  20. Mycotoxicjoy

    Same as the people who hire day laborers and then call ICE at the end of the shift to get the workers arrested and not have to pay them

  21. jkbuilder88

    And this is why every restaurant and business needs to refuse to serve these assholes. Give them the boot, since they love boots so much.

  22. shongough

    If you allow one ICE agent eventually you’ll turn around and it’s now an ICE restaurant

  23. LimJaheyAtYaCervix

    Does anyone have a link to those printable “red cards” in both english and spanish? I know ICE isn’t following the law or constitution anyway, but I live in a college town that has a fairly high population of immigrants and I have a printer so I’d like to print some to give out stacks to local businesses.

  24. FH2actual

    If you Serve ICE in any fashion, you’re a traitor and you stand by what they are doing. Not the poor employees but the business owners. They can make the call to refuse.

  25. demonslayercorpp

    I will piss and spit in any meal served to ICE
