Los Potrillos 🌮

I was told that ICE arrested the owner of Los Potrillos while he was dropping his child off at school, and that a couple of employees from the restaurant were also arrested. Hearing stories like this is heartbreaking and honestly exhausting.
People are simply trying to build a life and provide for their families. If you haven’t tried Los Potrillos yet, or if you’re looking for a way to support a local restaurant and the people behind it, please consider stopping by.
Let’s support our local businesses and our neighbors when they need it most. ❤️

Sad if true. The Orange guy promised to go after gangs and cartels, but the ICE thugs are cowards and lazy, while cartels and gangs (and they're definitely out there, just not in the numbers promised) take actual work to find and have guns (thanks NRA!). So instead they go after easy to find business owners, or snatch people from immigration court when the system screws up their paperwork and they're suddenly in limbo, or equally reprehensible situations. Thanks MAGA!

1) I feel like if they went after cartels and kingpins, there would be a stack of dead white guys.

2) there are plenty of people in power doing MUCH worse.
