SLO County businesses and students join ICE out protest

Corazon Cafe in San Luis Obispo

By KAREN VELIE

Outrage over a second fatal shooting by an immigration officer in Minneapolis led to a “national shutdown” across the country on Friday, including San Luis Obispo County.

Organizers asked people not to attend work, school or purchase items in protest of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Across SLO County, businesses such as Corazon Cafe and Len Cellective in SLO closed their doors on Friday.

To show support, some businesses, such as General Store in Paso Robles, posted plans on Facebook to donate some of their profits to 805 UndocuFund to “support local immigrant families and neighbors.”

In addition, hundreds of students at county high schools and Cal Poly University walked out of classes to show solidarity with the undocumented immigrant community.

Who cares.


Bye Bye Boo Boos. It was a great run.


American history shows time after time whenever there are widespread protests by young people, it turns out that the young people are on the correct side of history and that their protests should be heeded in order to preserve all that is good and just in the United States.


Proof please…..


Read a book. I thought you all were the “do your own research” crowd.


So, you admit you are the new Brown Shirts? Not that it was a mystery to the rest of us, but thanks for the public confirmation!


Well, after the silent and boomer generations caused all of the unrest in the 60s and 70s, the silent majority in America reacted and voted in a long, stable conservative era with Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and Bush.


the virtue signaling pawns aren’t smart enough to realize their entire role is to cause chaos so the money laundering can continue unabated. Useful idiots.. if they ever pay taxes themselves, their tune may change.


That’s exactly what my old dad used to remark when I would complain about life: “Just wait until you pay income tax!” He was right every time with his comments on life.


As of Saturday, Trump is now directing Federal agents to protect Federal buildings and let Dem-run cities fend for themselves against the anti-immigration enforcement riots. “If Local Governments are unable to handle the Insurrectionists, Agitators, and Anarchists, we will immediately go to the location where such help is requested, and take care of the situation very easily and methodically, just as we did with the Los Angeles Riots one year ago, where the Police Chief said that, ‘We couldn’t have done it without the help of the Federal Government.”


This site is such a scam. I upvoted a comment and it added to the negative total.


You’re just figuring that out?

Try again; if u accidentally tap the wrong arrow, just tap the right one twice; once to erase the mistake n once to enter the vote you wanted. It’s legit


Corazon Cafe is a prime example of a Mexican Restaurant that needs a Mexican cook chef…
