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

Source: Daily Beast

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents raided multiple restaurants in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, including one owned by the husband of CBS News anchor Norah O’Donnell.

Chef Geoff’s, an American eatery founded by O’Donnell’s husband Geoff Tracy, had its Northwest D.C. location near American University raided by nearly a dozen ICE agents on Tuesday morning, according to Fox 5.

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.
...
Trump administration officials have repeatedly sought to assure the public that deportations would target violent criminals. A CBS investigation earlier found, however, that hundreds of people have been deported despite having no criminal history.

CBS reporting is really bringing out the Administration's targeted Gestapo tactics. We need more truth telling from as many media sources as possible.

but I think the point was to intimidate legal immigrant workers so that they will be afraid to show up for work and it will then hurt the restaurant's ability to serve its customers. This is happening at California's farms and other businesses.

"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."

And I've heard they have sometimes caught and released criminals only deporting non criminals. This whole thing is so insidously corrupt.

The entire republican party is responsible for all of this shit. They could stop it with one bill. THEY are the ones that are ENABLING him to wreck our country. Democrats need to move away from him, and focus on the Republican party as a whole. Every single goddamn one of them on Capital Hill. It is THEIR responsibility to check the Executive. That is their Constitutional oath. We need to stop blaming FatAss and blame THE ENABLERS!! Krasnov's a worthless POS. It's this corrupt party that is destroying our country not him. He's a scapegoat for them, that is all. He is their FOOL. I don't care about him AT ALL. I care about the 271 (give or take) corrupt fucks that are letting it happen. It is they who we should be attacking. Fuck Escalator Ass.

Sorry for language but I'm sick of him getting all the blame. It's foolish and feeds his demented ego.
