What to Know if ICE is in your Restaurant, Article Reaction

Описание: The HuffPost article "3 Crucial Things To Know If ICE Raids A Restaurant" (by Su-Jit Lin, published February 23, 2026) provides practical guidance amid intensified ICE enforcement targeting immigrant-owned businesses, including a notable Minnesota case where agents dined at a Mexican restaurant before raiding it hours later. It stresses preparation due to underreported incidents and a sharp rise in arrests.The three key points are:Know Your Rights — Familiarize yourself with ACLU resources in advance for calm responses. ICE requires a judicial warrant to enter private areas (kitchens, offices); everyone can remain silent beyond basic ID, refuse unsigned documents, and demand counsel.
Should You Stay or Should You Go? — Prioritize safety; calmly leave if at risk (without running), pay your bill fairly if dining, or stay quietly—act on what feels safest in unpredictable situations.
What To Do If You Stay — Restaurants: Post rights info, train staff, secure emergency contacts, minimize sensitive documents. Bystanders: Document legally (video from distance, notes on details) without physical intervention to avoid obstruction charges; report to hotlines afterward and support affected businesses.
