(…….)

How hostile? ICE officers tossed two flash bangs to back the crowd off. Black remnants of the bangs remained visible on the pavement outside the restaurant.

…… The restaurant’s manager, Renato Ametrano, described what happened, saying the ICE officers showed “up with no explanation.” He said there were about 20-25 officers who “surrounded the building and then came inside” pushing him against the wall and handcuffing him.

They frightened the workers, many of them students, Ametrano said, describing ICE personnel as “very aggressive” while handcuffing other members of the staff.

Daily Kos:

Imagine you are at your workplace simply doing your job. Suddenly roughly two dozen heavily armed masked men in tactical gear rush in. They aggressively put everyone in your place of employment against the wall, you included, and handcuff them. Most those treated in this manner are American citizens.

They claim to be federal agents and demand that you produce your papers, your identification. You are paraded, still handcuffed, to a different location. If your identification is found they eventually release you. Several of your fellow employees, without identification on them, are taken away, you don't know what happened to them. Quite obviously, the business has to close for the day.

This story does not come from 1930s Germany, or some third world modern dictatorship. What I describe unfolded in the United States of America, last night, in San Diego. The name of the business is a popular restaurant known as Buona Forchetta.
