Can you imagine how many gallons of saliva ICE agents have ingested from diners in communities they terrorise?

I guess there’s absolutely no reason to allow ICE into your establishment, then. They should have thought about this beforehand.

In hindsight. Yes. But there is still this idea of decency that exists in our society. Not to say it's a bad thing. But it's still unfortunately being given to the SS troops of our time. It will take time, unfortunately, for the symbols of modern day oppression to be viewed as clearly as the Nazi symbols of the past.

We need to normalize the idea of ICE as a symbol of evil as much as the Nazi Swastika or Red Sun flag are today.

That, and you're basically asking a Jew in Nazi Germany to not serve an SS troop. I don't expect that level of courage from myself. So I won't expect that from anyone else.

Fair enough, I don’t know what I’d do in the same place. My sister is a (white, American-born) restaurant manager in LA and she sends everyone to the back whenever ICE/border patrol has come by (at one point her restaurant was handing out bilingual cards listing your rights and a legal advice phone number, so they came several times to ask about them), then lets out 25 years of customer service frustration at them. My sister is a special case in meanness, but they’ve tucked their tails between their legs and left every time.

Obviously not every restaurant has a mean white lady who hates ICE, but it might be a good idea to hire one. Actually, I know a bunch of frustrated, furious white women who feel helpless right now and would love to do it. Maybe this is a matchmaking opportunity.

Angry white women, using their privilege in today's society to fight fascist, are the secret weapon of the working class. I don't care if their "cringe" to some people. I'm all for the wine mom's and their whistles right now.

they should have thought twice about being born somewhere other than Murica! If they didn't want to be deported, why weren't they born in the good old usa?
