Read Original Source
Saturday evening, leftover food is still stuck to the grill at Crumbs and Coffee in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. The workstation has been left uncleaned since Friday morning, when the co-owner of the coffee shop said that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials detained his cook after luring him outside into the parking lot. Marcio Luis De Morais said that he heard from another employee that ICE took Jorge Leonardo Vergara Rubio at around 9:30 a.m.
