Dine and detain: A new ICE arrest tactic

[Long]

I don't think this is just an ICE problem, its all about workers rights . If the restaurant owners are paying their employees minimum wage, maybe they shouldn't be complaining when the cops show up. ICE should focus on deporting people who are here illegally, not people who have a work permit. It's a slippery slope, once you start detaining workers for fear of being deported, it can affect any business that hires undocumented immigrants... and it could happen to anyone, anywhere

Ugh this is getting super scary in the US... like, what's next? Restaurants are supposed to be safe spaces not interrogation zones . I feel so bad for those workers who have to choose between their jobs and freedom . Can't we just treat people with dignity and respect? This ICE tactic is straight out of a horror movie , where the "customers" come in and suddenly it's about detaining workers .

I'm all for supporting those restaurants and families affected by this, but what's being done to stop ICE from doing this?! We need real change, not just sympathy . The fact that they're setting up GoFundMe pages instead of addressing the root issue is just a Band-Aid on a bullet wound .

This whole situation is a total mess, and I'm left feeling uneasy whenever I think about going to a restaurant in Minnesota . Can't we all just get along and treat each other with kindness?
