"At a New York City branch, a customer was captured on video screaming at Spanish-speaking staffers to 'speak English' and threatening to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a recent example of hostility toward non-English-speaking restaurant workers." - Whitney Filloon
"In a viral video filmed at Fresh Kitchen, I saw a lawyer angrily confront a restaurant worker and a customer for speaking in Spanish, demand they 'speak English,' and threaten to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), saying, 'They have the balls to come here and live off of my money; I pay for their welfare; I pay for their ability to be here.' The incident, captured inside the restaurant, sparked widespread backlash — including calls for his disbarment and large protests — and led the lawyer to issue an apology saying his words hurt people and that he is 'not racist.'" - Serena Dai
"I note that the Human Rights Commission visited Fresh Kitchen — the site of a Midtown rant in which a man threatened to call ICE on restaurant workers speaking Spanish — to educate people on their rights." - Stefanie Tuder
