"As immigration enforcement activity increases across the Twin Cities and the suburbs, food businesses are adjusting, making visible changes such as locking doors to screen customers before entry, cutting hours, switching to takeout-only service, temporarily closing and consolidating space. Many restaurants are operating short-staffed, with owners taking on multiple roles simply to keep things going," the Star Tribune reported.
Rolando Diaz, the owner of Marna’s Eatery and Lounge in Robbinsdale, noted that his restaurant is feeling the strain of current events. His restaurant is one of many that has become short-staffed because many employees are reportedly afraid to come to work for fear of being caught by immigration enforcement efforts.
