Witnesses claimed the officers followed the restaurant staff after they closed up for the evening.Bystanders who witnessed the arrest blew whistles and shouted at the arresting officers, “Would your mama be proud of you right now?” according to the Minnesota Star Tribune.It is unclear who the individuals arrested are or what the reason was for their arrestsThe Independent has asked Immigration and Customs Enforcement and El Tapatio for comment.Willmar is a city located in Kandiyohi County in central Minnesota. It has a population of around 21,000, according to the 2020 census. Of the population, around 40 percent are people of color, one-third identifying as Hispanic.Thousands of federal law enforcement officers from the Department of Homeland Security have been sent to Minnesota to crack down on immigrant communities that the administration has accused of taking advantage of U.S. social services and has committed rampant fraud.
>>1478465The immigration operation, known as “Operation Metro Surge,” has caused chaos in cities as the number of violent interactions between civilians and ICE officers increases. State-wide protests have been ongoing since an ICE officer fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Good in Minneapolis last week.But even the heavy presence of federal law enforcement has rattled immigrants living in communities.Immigration enforcement officers appear to be targeting locations where they believe undocumented immigrants may be working.Earlier this week, CBS News reported that another Mexican restaurant called El Rodeo, located in the Twin Cities, was forced to close after ICE officers showed up. Although no arrests were made, the incident spooked some staff members enough that they’re reportedly too scared to come to work.In another incident, an employee who legally worked at Pancho's Taqueria and Mexican Cafe, located in Circle Pines, Minnesota, was detained after ICE showed up and waited in the parking lot, according to a GoFundMe. The restaurant later reportedly closed after the incident.
>>1478465We have the recipe, now they can go back.
>>1478465Genuinely how long until they try this shit and someone poisons them?
>>1478470It's already happened a few times.
>>1478473can we see it
>>1478465And that's why you never serve anyone you suspect of being border patrol, DHS or ICEFuck all three depts.
>>1478465What the fuck is wrong with these people?
>>1478482Fuck.I remember reading an article from last year involving an ICE agent and someone fucking with his food but now I can't find it.I hate this mandela effect shit.
>>1478488just say no next time shill
>>1478484This is working smarter not harder.Two birds with one stone and all that
>>1478484isn't it obvious, they're evil
>>1478496I know, but…christ, this is comical evil. Arresting the people who just served you food is something the thugs at the start of an action movie would do, before Hero Guy comes in an kicks their asses.
>>1478517>It's just like my heckin Hero Guy movie!!!!!
>>1478519And that’s terrible. Especially because they’re not getting their ass kicked afterwards.
>>1478465That’s actually pretty grimy and low.They should be fully happy making their own food going forward. I do not know how you can feel safe wearing that uniform and eating out anymore.
>>1478484Third of them want to bust skulls and practice some police brutality, another third are from /pol/, and the last third are just average Joes who need the paycheck (ICE actually pays well, has good benefits, and doesn't work you over the coals for it) and then get radicalized by the other two groups.
The I.C.E.rs. Detected the taste of shit in their taco and decided to arrest
>>1478521>>1478537Fajshitsa
Food was shitty, so they were sent home to learn “authentic “ beaner food
>>1478484They're bullies. They probably figured it was all a big power play, "I drink your milkshake" type shit.
Knew who they were going after and staked them out. What exactly is the issue?
>>1478484Do you not remember during COVID how people treated priority workers like fucking shit despite the fact that without them, society just fucking collapses? And then we just decided not to actually give them the respect they need? There is a famous photo of a woman getting her nails done by a salon worker who is wearing quarantine gear from head to toe. The country has no empathy and expects servitude.
