Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents ate at a Mexican restaurant in Minnesota on Wednesday, before arresting three of its employees who had just closed up the establishment for the evening.
The arrests happened in Willmar, which is about two hours from Minneapolis, where ICE and Border Patrol have ramped up activities.
On Thursday, The Minnesota Star Tribune reported:
An eyewitness who declined to give a name for fear of retribution, told the Minnesota Star Tribune that four ICE agents sat in a booth for a meal at El Tapatio a little before 3 p.m. Staff at the restaurant were frightened, said the eyewitness, who shared pictures from the restaurant as well as video of the arrest.
The arrest happened around 8:30 p.m. near a Lutheran church and Willmar Middle School as agents followed the workers after they closed up for the night. A handful of bystanders blew whistles and shouted at agents as they detained the people. “Would your mama be proud of you right now?” one of the bystanders asked.

Do any Somalis get deported?
Agents claim they only stopped at the Mexican restaurant to eat and get gas.
Also filled their SUVs.
They should have barred ICE like so many other restaurants/s/
Bystanders are the ones walking around in disoriented confusion every Father’s Day.
Great place for a gping away party.
They should be arresting any business owners that employ people illegally.
new way of eating and running...
Right. Exactly like the old segregation days.
No ICE at this hotel or restaurant. And some allow no police. The federal law does NOT include protection for the rights of law enforcement as a right.
People reminiscing such as BB King said a black person, even one about to perform in town as a recording star, had to find a black person to ask for locations of black barbers, lunch places and hotels. The drinking fountains for “Colored” and “White” were still in place during the 1960 JFK versus Nixon campaign.
“Federal and state law prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, marital status, medical conditions, military or veteran status, national origin, ancestry, disability, genetic information and age.”
Sounds efficient. I hope they waited until after the meal.
Good question. I'd love to know the answer.
Sadly, many of these Somali criminals were invited here legally by these three chumps so deporting them might be a little more complicated.
Did they leave a tip?
Never arrest someone on an empty stomach.
Sounds good to me!!! Im convinced that if the commie media didnt make a fuss about ICE raids that NO ONE would care..geez during Obama he would target schools, shopping malls, restaurants, you name it he targeted it and NO ONE cared, why, because the commie media could care less
Yelp review by ICE agents: Mexican food so authentic it has to have been made by illegals .
I would love to know the details.
Did they have a tip and went to the restaurant for lunch to check it out? Or...
Did they, while eating lunch, see some suspicious characters that they put in the system and got hits?
Enquiring minds want to know!
They trusted that the food would not be contaminated????
Brave or foolish........
I don’t know.
What doe a middle school and Lutheran church nearby have to do with anything? Are we not supposed to enforce immigration law near schools and churches?
