Today, we talk to a restaurant owner in the middle of this.

Alex Rosario Torres is the owner of La Bodega Taco Bar, a Mexican restaurant in Minneapolis.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Can you tell us a little bit about what you have been seeing, you yourself?

Has there been ICE action in the neighborhood around your restaurant?

So if you have ICE agents literally on your doorstep, what has that meant for business?

Yeah.

Has this affected sales?

Oh, wow.

That is a lot.

I was going to ask, you know, on the other side of business are your employees.

Have they continued to come in and feel comfortable enough to show up to work?

How do you run a restaurant with just two people?

Borders are Tom Homan reduced the number of federal agents in Minnesota by 700, he said.

What do you think of that?

How do you keep going?

Like, can you continue to operate as a restaurant if you only have a fraction of your workforce that's not too terrified to show up?
