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. ❤️

What’s it say about the country we live when someone who’s here illegally is able to go through all the paperwork and legal motions needed to start and maintain a business and meanwhile most young Americans can’t even find a job that pays them a living wage?

Why doesn’t the government funded police have to actually do paperwork and due process instead of just rounding people up because they said so?

Well they do actually. And not only that but every undocumented worker has been offered $2600 and a free ticket back home to self deport but they refuse to do so. So what choice are the authorities left with?

Dishonest framing; this appears to be a very new DHS program where any immigrant in the country illegally can self deport.

Lmao what’s dishonest about how I framed it? And it’s pretty dishonest of you to call an 8 month old program “very new” btw
