ICE Raided a Restaurant in San Diego. ICE Tossed Two Flash Bangs at the Crowd.
Immigration officers swarmed a restaurant late Friday afternoon in South Park, escorting two employees out in a raid that left the staff deeply shaken.
Usually Buona Forchetta has customers waiting out front, lined up to enter the popular Beech Street restaurant.
Instead, after an hour-and-15 minute operation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the jittery crowd wasn’t waiting for Italian food.
Both the main restaurant and their smaller place next door were broken into and witnesses said when the group of officers tried to remove two workers, they met a hostile response.
ICE officers tossed two flash bangs to back the crowd off.
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.
He said the officers were looking at a computer and at workers.
Instead, they took two workers, said Ametrano, because “they didn’t have a physical ID.”
Ametrano said only ICE officers were involved, not San Diego police.
