So I'm sitting at my desk here and just got some really sobering figures about the impact that this Operation Metro surge by ICE is having on our communities.
And we've all heard about the families getting torn apart.
We've all heard about the constitutional violations.
We've heard about people going hungry.
And in addition to that,
there's a massive impact on our small and local businesses.
Small local businesses collectively are losing between 10 and $20 million every single week.
Businesses along cultural corridors are down at least 50% and the Latino owned businesses and Somali owned businesses are drastically below that.
Hotels have lost about $4.4 million because of cancellations.
And so for those that
claim that they care about our economy and care about businesses.
There is a very quick and straightforward antidote to bring these businesses back, which is to have Operation Metro Surge end and to have ICE leave our city.
Let's bring the economy back.
Let's help these businesses out.
Let's make sure that our city can return to this great comeback that we were seeing and let's get ICE to leave.
I think it's tough finding like a stock certificate from 1987 in grandpa's drawer.
Wait until you need the face ID to unlock cash app.
It's so sad what money does to people.
It happens.
That's why you don't tell anybody what you got.
