LA Restaurants Close on February 3 in Protest of Trump’s Immigration Policy | Eater LA

"Closed on Monday, February 3, 2025, in solidarity with A Day Without Immigrants 2025 — a nationwide movement in which immigrants and allies stayed home from work, did not attend school, or withheld from shopping as a protest against President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown. The action was framed to highlight the role immigrants play in the economy and society, and comes after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement began targeting major sanctuary cities, including Los Angeles, on January 20; restaurants and farms throughout California rely heavily on immigrant labor from Central and South America, and NBC Bay Area reports many farmworkers have not shown up to work for fear of deportation." - Mona Holmes
