Far-left, Trump-hating CBS anchor Norah O’Donnell and her husband had a terrible day on Tuesday as President Trump continues to lay down the law on illegal immigration.
As FOX 5 DC reported, ICE agents stormed into Chef Geoff’s Restaurant yesterday morning, a D.C. establishment owned by O’Donnell’s husband, Geoff Tracy, and demanded to see the staff’s I-9 forms. The incident occurred at roughly 10:30 A.M.
This caused the entire staff to panic. The agents stayed at the restaurant for 90 minutes and left without arresting anyone.
Chef Geoff’s was not the only eatery targeted. The New York Post revealed that ICE agents also raided at least eight other establishments in the nation’s capital. These included Officina and Mi Vida, Jaleo, Santa Rosa Taqueria, Pupatella, Call Your Mother, Clyde’s, and Millie’s.
NBC 4 News reported that some of the restaurants were given advance notice of the raids. It’s not clear if Chef Geoff’s was among them.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser was livid after learning about the Trump administration carrying out their duties:
“I have heard those reports. I’ve been getting them all morning. I am disturbed by them. It appears as though ICE is at restaurants, or even at neighborhoods, and it doesn’t look like they’re targeting criminals, and it does look like they’re disrupting,” Bowser said.
D.C. residents echoed their far-left mayor’s whining when contacted by FOX 5 DC.
“It’s very high anxiety, anxiety-inducing. I think it’s really terrible right now that ICE is taking people and sending them away to El Salvador and these other countries to what are basically concentration camps,” one D.C. resident, Isa, whimpered.
“Unfortunately, fear is the goal as these happen whether in D.C. or across the country. But what we’re also seeing is a lot of solidarity within the D.C. community,” whined Claudia Tristan, a volunteer with Migrant Solidarity Mutual.
“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, and we are concerned about the fear-mongering tactics we believe happened today,” said Shawn Townsend, President of the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington.
“There is a sense of fear. It’s alarming, it’s concerning, immigrants make up a large amount of workers in our restaurants in the district. I think there could have been a better way to get the information that these ICE agents, from what I’m told, were looking for,” he added.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
There is nothing to fear if they don’t hire illegals.
Get ready for the “now your restaurant bills are going up because of Trump (because no one wants to work there except illegals)” crapola
Exactly, and thanks but no thanks to eating at a restaurant that employs illegals.
Norah, get back into the kitchen of your husband’s restaurant and WASH THOSE DISHES.
“Your clothing bills are going to go up because of Lincoln!”
Good, this is simply government protecting citizens.
Its another reason why the commie media loves illegals(Besides them voting Dem and giving them congressional seats) MANY of these media figures give illegals money under the table for cheap work..they dont want to be found out
Maybe they were just checking jab cards.
EC
WINNING!!!
“and it doesn’t look like they’re targeting criminals”
Who wants to tell her??? Not that it’ll make a difference....
Good. Per title 8 US Code, anyone hiring more than ten wetbacks is a criminal himself.
Book him Dano!
If they’re here illegally they are criminals.
I wonder how many of these restaurants have been openly hostile to conservatives over the years.
Payback is a Hillary.
It is a good thing if lefties are afraid; they should be made very afraid, and stay afraid.
Such anxiety.
She may not know it and she may not like it, but it's a federal district and so Trump is her boss.
"...we’re also seeing is a lot of solidarity within the D.C. community” whined Claudia Tristan, a volunteer with Migrant Solidarity Mutual.Sounds like Claudia should go to jail for aiding and abetting criminals with her "solidarity."
Was there ever a more commie word than "solidarity"?
Since 95% of the population in DC votes democratic we can guess that 99% of the business are democrat - inside advantage and all of that. Even the so-called conservative NGOs are financed by folks with severe TDS like the Kochs.
My exact sentiments, so let me repeat, WINNING!!!!
