Trump’s ICE Agents Raid Restaurant Owned by CBS News Star’s Husband

[bongsaway]

A coincidence or intimidation? Is trump trying to turn America into a police state?

The immigration agents, dressed in Homeland Security uniforms, reportedly asked to see the staff’s I-9 forms that verify their identity and employment authorization.
The raid took place early Tuesday morning and lasted about an hour and a half. No one was taken into custody.

Shawn Townsend, president of the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington, told Fox 5 that they were concerned about “the fearmongering tactics” used on a number of D.C. restaurants.

“There was no one detained or arrested that I’ve heard of but regardless of that fact, disrupting food service during lunch hours while restaurants are open is alarming,” he said. “There is a sense of fear… Immigrants make up a large amount of workers in our restaurants in the district.”

Sounds like the reason the Little Goebbels want's open borders is because they employ illegals.

He said it better:

Its intimidation.

I guess ICE ran out of dangerous gang members to arrest. Now ICE has time to be Trump's personal intimidation force. Can you say, "Brown shirts?" I knew that you could.

This is bullshit! The government has no right to check an employer's I-9s!!! Somebody needs to be impeached for this!

"No one was taken into custody."

LOL

 

[Loulit01]

"No one was taken into custody."

Because they weren't looking for illegal aliens. They were looking to harass the owner.

They have no right to target people just because Trump doesn’t like them when there is no reason to do so. This is a blatant abuse of power to intimidate Trump’s perceived enemies. It is weaponization of ICE for purely personal and political reasons. Every accusation is a confession for Trump. He is corrupt to the core in his use of ICE.

Did Trump ever pay a fine for employing illegals at his businesses?

More than 100 undocumented immigrants worked at Trump’s Bedminster resort during construction​

President Trump Hired Undocumented Immigrants for $4 An Hour for Demolition Project: Court Docs​

Donald Trump and Undocumented Workers at Trump Tower
For 36 years, Trump has denied knowingly using undocumented workers to demolish the building that would be replaced with Trump Tower in 1980. After Senator Marco Rubio raised the issue of undocumented Polish workers during a Republican primary debate this year, Trump described himself as removed from the problem. “I hire a contractor. The contractor then hires the subcontractor,” he said. “They have people. I don’t know. I don’t remember, that was so many years ago, 35 years ago.”

But thousands of pages of documents from the case, including reams of testimony and sworn depositions reviewed by TIME, tell a different story. Kept for more than a decade in 13 boxes in a federal judiciary storage unit in Missouri, the documents contain testimony that Trump sought out the Polish workers when he saw them on another job, instigated the creation of the company that paid them and negotiated the hours they would work.

A Washington Post investigation found that a golf course owned by the Trump Organization employed about a dozen undocumented immigrants for years, firing them only recently and with no notice. ​

for some reason - oh maybe, because he refuses to pay wages that would support Americans

Trump wants immigrants gone. He keeps hiring them for his businesses​

16 Dec 2024
President-elect Donald Trump has made it clear that he wants to crack down hard on immigration once he’s in office. But his own businesses keep employing foreign guest workers - hiring more of them this year than any other year on record, CNN reported.

Forbes first reported that Trump hired more foreign workers than ever before in 2024.

Firms connected to some of Trump’s top supporters and choices to serve in his administration have also hired foreign guest workers this year.

What do you think? Does Trump follow that old maxim? - "DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO"

They needed a dozen agents to come in multiple entryways to check I-9s? I figure 1 person maybe 2 could do that just as well.

This and a myriad of other reasons, glad you are finally seeing the light.

Are your papers in order? Protect yourself.

US citizens are being told to carry birth certificates amid ICE raids

The warning comes after reports that some Native American citizens had been approached by ICE officials.

The need a court order from a US district Judge that has heard the case and found the employer guilty BEFORE any investigation can take place. Besides, nobody is illegal so the whole purpose of checking immigration status is a violation of human rights! We never had to put up with these abuses before Trump and he MUST be impeached!

I don't remember any administration before warning citizens that they should carry papers.

It's lawful for police officers to exercise discretion and let people off with a warning. Everyone here knows that if officers in your town let everyone off with a warning except people with Trump merch on their cars or bodies, you would not be standing there saying that this is fine because officers have a right to issue warnings.

I-9's can be submitted by mail. This was a raid. At lunchtime.

 

[Uncensored2008]

"No one was taken into custody."

Not exactly as "raid" then, was it?

 

[SCrider]

Sounds like the reason the Little Goebbels want's open borders is because they employ illegals.

Yeah! They probably didn't have a warrant either! We KNOW they didn't have a court order to go over the paperwork and they can't do that unless the ACLU authorizes a judge to authorize the paperwork inspection! It's just like when the ATF goes into a gun store unannounced and wants to look at their paperwork. It's TOTALLY illegal!!!

 

[OrphanSlug]

It looks like this has been going on in many locations, too little info to suggest this was some sort of retribution but I would not rule it out either.

So do they need a warrant and a court order to inspect I-9s or not? Is it, in your expert opinion, for HSI or Immigration to show up at a place of business unannounced and request access to an employer's I-9s?

The guy who plays the biggest victim on this forum has no problem with this act.
