Nora's husband's restaurant

https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-ice-agents-raid-restaurant-owned-by-cbs-news-star-norah-odonnells-husband/

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents raided multiple restaurants in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, including one owned by the husband of CBS News anchor Norah O’Donnell.

Chef Geoff’s, an American eatery founded by O’Donnell’s husband Geoff Tracy, had its Northwest D.C. location near American University raided by nearly a dozen ICE agents on Tuesday morning, according to Fox 5.

He doesn’t have the guts to confront people himself, he gets others to do it.
Michael Cohen said Krasnov has never gotten in a physical confrontation his entire life.

Always has been, always will be.

The only time I ever remember him ever trying to be "tough" in the public sphere was when he thought hovering behind Hillary Clinton during a nationally televised debate was somehow a "masculine" act. It just made him look like creepy stalker.

Pure intimidation by an authoritarian regime. They don't like CBS very much.

Raids like that happened regularly on the farms around here going back to Bush I. Nobody cared outside of a small circle of friends.

Was it an obvious personal attack, or was he employing undoc'd workers? Both?
It does matter. If I'm selling weed out of my house I can't claim foul because the cops didn't raid all the houses on my street.

Have one agent contact management or the owner and ask them to produce the forms, preferably when the restaurant is not busy? And why choose one business over others? And how does this relate to the quest to find “violent criminals"?

Sounds fishy.
