Will DC Restaurants Survive This Round Of ICE Enforcement?
from City Cast DC · host City Cast
More than almost any local industry, dining is reliant on a workforce that doesn’t always have legal status to work. Which means that the recent hints of a new round of federal enforcement could have a big impact not just on the affected employees, but also on the businesses themselves, and on the universe of people who enjoy our city’s dining scene. Tim Carman of the Washington Post has been following the news and is here to explain what it means for the workforce, the restaurants — and you. Want some more DC news?
